eyes closed
the roar of a waterfall
inside of me

vault of the pine-branched heavens I open

..wet

pond fishing
one leg invades
the moon

..oops

skyward...
these maples stand guard
oops, a fallen leaf!

green pond surface
duck track
visible past
 -
dammens
grønne overflade
spor efter ænder
fortidens minder

crane fly in the web
sucked dry:
wings, legs, body, one flat line

murmuring river:
a poet listened to
every day

..cautious

distant thunder...
cautiously homeward
we tread
~~

suddenly
the sound of loneliness:
curlew on the moor

..instruments

on the beach,
they discovered string sections
on each other's toes
sumptuous sonatas became
their joined lips too...summer
~~
..(C)2012 Spiros Zafiris
..channeled; spirit Ram
~~

the old gardener
dozing
...drooping rose heads

..inasmuch

inasmuch
as the rainbow
will soon fade
do not all who witness it
hold their loves more tenderly

-

Full circle
cheerfully butterflies playing
making it happen

pulsing cicadas
pull me into their rhythm
a hammock of sound

still pond

in the cool of the day

reflecting Eden

the old school  -
nature gobbles the playground
bindweed picks the lock

weeding dandelions  -
his white head
amongst white heads

dog biscuits
scattered over the path
slug frenzy

snapdragons
still flowering merrily
wet summer

we yearned for the

Forest of Arden but found

just an allotment

dead conifer
becomes a support for bindweed
white trumpets
