	"Golden Pond"
Busy lights have found their way to rest and play amongst the rocks of golden pond and to our eyes delight the surface hides in shadows dense from foliage near and trees above surreal this natures scene complete and real as through the clear of surface seen Stephen Stavast

"Stony Brook"

Quiet waters barely move

but onward surely

as newly fallen leaves show the way

downstream

on stony brook

an image found from rivers edge

that turned the head

of Donna

With many thanks,

"A Glass Act"

"Singing In The Reign"

Spots and shafts of sun

allow the purple reign

close at hand are starfish waifs
that surely stir the brew

of this the clover sings in tune

while droplets add percussion

and tree frog gets in too

conducted and controlled from the tattered purple

singing in the reign

in all their colored glory

a harmony in view

Stephen Stavast

"Double Rainbow"

If you could cry me a river

I’ll try a river over you

real or not these fish I caught
have moves from my imagination
my pot of gold

painted impressions help the surface be
above a double rainbow

and through this subtle dance
a view of bottoms chance with light

and in this moment
they so combine to make this movement right

Stephen Stavast

"Peaceful Bank"

Imagine sitting on a rock
looking back to shore

the light is from the afternoon

and here I’ve played with space and shape
and sun and shade

and textures juxtaposed

peaceful bank
is aligned and on the move

a quiet place with raucous possibilities

rotate 90 toward the clock
and watch the shadows play

rotate 90 toward the clock
and watch the sunlight play

rotate 90 toward the clock
and feel dimension play

each a neighbor living within a peaceful bank
and here as thought they stay

Stephen Stavast

"Peripheral Currents"

Playful animation

lighted proof

as clear as crystal surface moves
attenuate to quiet corners

peripheral current has no surface seen

yet through its stronger moves
we see its truth

we hear its quiet story
told from meaningful distortions

a memory brought to eyes

embellished further
each time it told this storytellers prize

Stephen Stavast

"The Promise"

"My Current Work"

A scene of logical movement
attenuates to quiet pool

the camouflage of light from surface moves

gives way to detailed rocky grooves and depths
so surely seen

a current work creates the vision
of places walked beyond a normal pace

a mind at peace in memory
just moments from the race

of thinking standing watching racing
water finds its place

Stephen Stavast

"Golden Armada"

A playful gust has launched this fleet of fancy
the first of many in the rule of the shade of the
admiral tree

the vanguard tests these waters
golden armada its heroic handle
cannon fodder beneath its name
sink and float and move
and set the stage for the overwhelming numbers
yet to come

the admiraltree in the rule of its shade
as proven in the spring and summer sun
readies the launch of fall
to cast the plan of shadow all as one

but as they leave the admiraltree the plan is shattered
scattered as leaflets in the wind
the rule of shade is folly
as the admiraltree falls to leaves without a thought

sinking moving floating
casting countless shadows
from its skeletal roots
as always in this season
in the valley ruled by sun

Stephen Stavast

"A World of Difference"

Shade and sunlight play
rocks wet and dry defined degrees of such

under the water surface
and rocks that surface up above
bottom to the top

and on t he surface the sky is seen on earth

and on the drier ground
are found a needle and the leaf

a slight relief to balance each rotation

while each performs its duty
they bring the eyes to earth

just another picture?

and these words for what they’re worth

"Reflections On A Gray Day"

Rocks with sky
gray day without a drop of sun

yet here within the rocks themselves
are scenes of cloudy skies

slight imagination and back again
to the real world depiction

sky as seen lighting the waters surface

transparency reveals the shallow bottom

a leaf in its brilliance brings the eyes
to a starting place
from which the journey has most likely now begun
