Up the Mtn, Again! #211

suns laying down

wisping winds  - misting waters 

about valley floors

coolness, descends in shadows

full moons    colossal nights

Up the Mtn, Again! #238

nature's nite light

moonbeams piercing windows

woodstoves dimming heat

time to stoke the fire

one last time before I sleep

Up the Mtn, Again! #233

ah! blue moon

woodstove heat ... last August nite

Up the Mtn

Up the Mtn, Again! #225

mountain moonlight

pouring through a treetopped sieve

bough strained moonbeams

Up the Mtn, Again! #235

wandering ... alone

seeking companionship

in solitude

Up the Mtn, Again! #227

-40F

I know warmth awaits me

beyond this numbness

whether indoors by the fire

or sitting by this tree ... 

Up the Mtn, Again! #197

three Sisters (wilderness area)

summered    almost bald of snow

climate change?

Up the Mountain, Again! #198

forest heat wave

foliage, drying   ...   dry   ...   dried

summered sun reigns

Up the Mtn, Again! #218

my summers long gone

I cry out cold dry tears

my last winters here

Up the Mtn, Again! #187

Up the Mountain

solitary seclusion

(autumn) blossoming

in my mtn side hovel

stoking the fire

Up the Mountain, Again! #219

my time

secluded on a mtn side

summer hermitage

Up the Mtn, Again! #229

reading haiku

through silhouetted branches

dancing on pages

Up the Mtn, Again! #189

          pine cones

                    sticky   sappy       here       there,

everywhere              pine cones

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! #175

while splitting firewood

I sniff the blade of my axe

whiff of cedar sap

Up the Mtn, Again! #126

taut petals   -   strained

acquiesce to pooled rain, spill

then straighten again

Up the Mtn, Again! #130a

sunlit wildfire

light bleeding from tree to tree

a spreading blaze       Dawn

Up the Mountain, Again! #135

voices coursing

amongst streaming throngs

the babbling brook
