All tree shade
rivers bed made
bright by light reflections
cast from sources left unseen yet pictured here
with this selection

angel light found in drops of sun
formed without a meaning
found not planned
yet here in search of thought

leavings all will surely change

light will animate the dark
leaves will move with the wind
sticks and stones will find new ground as waters
flow in season

but here for moments they stand in peace and
minds will test their reason

"Wild River Bed"                                          Oil   36 x 60  
Wild River Bed

Small canyons
touched so near in cloistered scene

life beyond is known

through shadows cast

and life windows merely hinted at

a season quiet now

as river rolls in chorus with the wind
in trees

hear and see a past

the loud of boiling colored waters run

when all is strewn and thrown in
rivers rage

now left to bake in summer’s sun

a testament to seasons tread this
wild rivers bed.
