November 2012

dewdrop dawn —
spider webs too rent apart
garments of praise

crest of dawn —
sprouting vegetables
break new ground

shadow dance —
a dragonfly crosses
the sun

moonlit valley —
what visions arise now
within shadows?

starless night —
a morepork measures out
its emptiness

lingering
within dewdrops,
morning light

bird-live spring —
in the undergrowth
a gecko barks

this same darkness
filling space between stars —
altarwise lamp

morning breeze —
sunlight trickles from
fresh young leaves

dappled dawn —
a fledgeling falcon
spreads its wings

shadow player —
this flickering candle
full of fury

false start —
an early butterfly
in the storm

river fog —
the wonders before me
becoming my past

fall, leaf, fall . . .
nourish the shadows
with colour

a shadow
of some former self —
falling leaf
