Summer poems 2012 – July

070912 Bolling Memorial Grove
There are certain spots
Always in the shade of trees
Never direct sun
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 07/07/12
071112 Richardsons Grove and Eureka 122
A baby redwood
Small of girth can grow to be
A forest giant
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 07/07/12

Where does the smoke go
As it wafts from wood through fire
Like thought’s energy
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 07/09/12

Insular cortex
Physical temperature
Emotional warmth

Counting pockets on a fishing vest, Gerry said, This one has fourteen pockets.” Anne said, “Better than a mini-van.”

Upon finding a cabin, a cliff and a river it was written

An accidental
Adventure into the past
Sunny river day
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 07/09/12

Ineradicable
Unpredictability of
Quantum physics
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 07/11/12

Fireside memory
Blue turns to black then to gray
Then it turns to ash
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 07/17/12

Balanced o’er the flame
Until embers took a piece
Of heart and soul
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 07/17/12
072612 Grover Hot Springs 038
The sun on the trees
The chill in the air
The warmth of the fire
The jays calling
The mountain air crisp
With promise of
A new day
And hot springs
Relaxation
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 07/18/12

Fire renews the soul
Warmth and light yet consuming
Forms shift like spirit
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 07/18/12

For the poker stick

Like flaming prayer
Guide wood reached out for heaven
Ember memories
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 07/19/12
