i didn’t want to
but you made me find beauty
beauty in the snow
We’re the Only Ones Here
mountains
Dream Lake
the mountains have called
and windswept lakes make us glow
all these years later
Stay Gold
like a golden cloud
this aspen cheers up the pines
rather than pining
Perfectly Fleeting
my pup, lake, camp, board:
seemingly perfect weekend
(calm before the storm)
the weather plagues me
sending wind when there was none
and stealing these views
if i could lift wings,
glide pelican-like, headfirst,
it wouldn’t matter
alas, i must walk
through all the humanoid storms
that we’ve created
Camp Moves
a rainy weekend
yet with my loving daughter
nothing was flooded
Lakeside Love
sunset’s golden light
shines brighter in the mountains
with my perfect pup
Obey
the mountains call us
with their peak views, quaking aspens
(listen for the call)
Spring Forth
a midnight rainstorm
brought early this raging creek
and stole seed-planting
yet, cycle views burst
with blossoms of spring color
saving the lost day
Spring Planting
ski season is done.
we’ll have to make do with yards
full of happiness.
Oh, Oh, Colorado
our ski season ends
with bluebird jumps and peak views
(and a pinch of angst)
