Herald soft the sky
on surface winding
through the rocks in quiet bed
where color reigns
and passion falls in symbols
colored orange and red To lay by sights and textures felt through
tactile memory

A change of scene
A scene of change

Now sensual, soft, wet and warmed by sun
where cool shadows rule the day in
seasons cycle

Now light dances

Stephen Stavast

Above the low
the low above

in proof of both
in shadows glove

a perfect fit
at hand the treads of spiral staircase

from flight to flight of fancy
peace-filled eyes will find a landing
before a step is taken.

Stephen Stavast

Lines of beauty

grow amongst the stone

designers rest impressed and
made from thought

with balance flow
and colors glow in light

and volume set in shadows depth
bouncing life from one to one

another stones thrown garden
set beneath the sky
illuminated by the sun

Stephen Stavast

Gentle eddy

holds its first captive of the season

soon this harbor will be littered

from the repetition

of floating

falling

sinking

as the canopy brings itself

to ground
