we cycle cities
joy found wherever we go
cause life’s a cycle

seasons
Day Two, Road Trip 2016
dawn painted this view
with a crimson feathered brush
shaped from god’s fingers
interrupted drive
on solitary farm roads
brings peace and worry
fresh peaches save us,
and hand picked Texas peanuts–
bag reads: God bless you
red dirt gets seeded
turning desert land to food
to feed our hot drive
at last, a forest:
lodgepole and endless lake
to wash off the dust
Pedal to Petal
baby blooms her legs
on a twenty-mile trek
through city of dreams
Battle Cry
sometimes the best words
remain trapped behind the view
of silent cycling
Ignite It
just capture this light
bright enough to block the night
and fight the good fight
Baby Brunch Date
biking out to brunch:
way to tackle a cool day
during midsummer
Solo Time
fun with the youngest
my flower amongst the blooms
that give us this life
Whine with That?
eight miles of views
captured between bickering
parenting is hard
Break the Silence
night still and windless
quakeless aspen leaves above
as you make me quake
Summer Wash
just in time for me:
home visits and meetings done–
rain, clean out this heat!
let summer begin
with a fresh layer of green,
a rushing river
an evening walk
through gardens and mysteries,
a dream awakened
