Up the Mtn, Again #177

stained by pitch & sap

my hickory handled axe

splitting wet firewood

Up the Mtn, Again! #193

where a brook runs

the suns hot reflection

running downstream

Up the Mtn, Again! #188

drifting wisps flurry

wild land forest fires   -   Ash

hell's snow

our floating world

crying hot cinder tears

Up the Mountain, Again! #190

half awake      ... just ...

field mice ... scampering ... on my roof

      -      right ?

Up the Mtn, Again! #189

          pine cones

                    sticky   sappy       here       there,

everywhere              pine cones

Up the Mtn, Again! #178

misty sheets of rain

stir slumbering clouds

on my mountain side

Up the Mtn, Again! #180

breathing out sunlight

breathing in the moonlight

life & death eclipsing

karma's cycle

the breadth of breath

Up the Mtn, Again #176

greenery

summertime foliage

blooming

Up the Mtn, Again! #173

by candellight

through a bedroom window

a pear blossoms

On the Euro Zone Crisis (in Ireland, Spain Portugal, Italy, and Greece)

(Greece?) austerity

compounding interests

the One percent

Up the Mtn, again! #175

while splitting firewood

I sniff the blade of my axe

whiff of cedar sap

Up the Mtn, Again! #165

thunderous booming

piercing crackles   lightning

swollen, pregnant clouds

birthed on a mtn side

divine intuition

Up the Mtn, again! #133

deep in the forest

my hovel      my hermitage

healing seclusion

natures divinity

continues on and on ... and on

Up the Mtn, Again! #129 "Hovel Passage"

trail to my hovel

camouflaged by foliage

obscured by falls reign

Up the Mtn, Again! #105

ferns blossom

feed by dawns hues

dry glossy       light dew

Up the Mtn, Again! #155

colour drooping

boughs heavy with grief

foliage blossoms

Up the Mountain, Again! #164

clouds drooling

saturating top soil

woodland roots feasting

ferns n' firs focused downwards

rainstorms cooconed in root balls

Up the Mtn, Again!

ah!       by the fire

ah!       see, the mountains

ah!       fullmoon      peace

Up the Mtn, Again! #126

taut petals   -   strained

acquiesce to pooled rain, spill

then straighten again

Up the Mtn, Again! #154

"Last Night"

fullmoon,    Cool night

moonbeams, soft, fluid shadows

Magic!  aglow

pure bough filtered moonlight

f or ml  E ss.      soothing, tranquil, whisps

Up the Mtn, Again #149

rapids

washing over me

swaying trees

Up the Mtn, Again! #148

fall autumns

Beyond coloured foliage

- faint sheets of rain

(Inspired by Robert Wright''s work below)

In the summer haze:

Behind Magnolias

Faint sheets of lightning.

Up the Mtn, Again! #130a

sunlit wildfire

light bleeding from tree to tree

a spreading blaze       Dawn

Up the Mtn, Again! #142

distant thunder ?

storm Up the Mtn?   Soon?

trunks sway, boughs bend

winds howl n' scream      FLASH!

lightning, signaling - Calm reigns
