Father Daughter Springtime Dance

Pictures In The Shadows
Sunshine abounded and fell unencumbered.
Winter’s cruel bite fled and ran back to the North.
Although ice still clung to trails on the ridges,
Layers of soil shown forth to the heavens.
-----
Lichen and mosses popped out in stark contrast.
Branches against blue rattled bones to the wind.
While the xylem pushed up the sap from the roots,
Phloem brought vital energy to the trees.
-----
Liquid silver gurgled South rushing noisy.
Banks under water peeking up through Spring’s flood.
As breezes are filtered through needles of pine,
Birds call and make boundaries fresh from the flight.
-----
Jodi and I walked and talked within that realm.
Riverside woodland - sanctuary escape.
When we reached the margin ‘tween water and land,
Fire was brought forth adding song to the day.
-----
Food was then cooked on a mid-morning skillet.
Kora sniffed scents from invisible wilds.
Since time stood still as we conversed in the warmth,
Daughter and I danced to the birth of the Earth.

See you along The Way...
