Essence

Yes, I admit it. I am a bit obsessed with the relationship between water and plant-life.

Providence, RI

A morning dew, or after the rain, can capture my attention and keep it indefinitely.

I wonder who is holding who – are the leaves holding the water or is the water caressing the leaves? I think it is most likely a mutual embrace between good friends.

I wish we all could remember that we once had that kind of relationship with water and and all flower and plant-life. Maybe if we could better remember our relationship with and the incredible generosity of the earth and her flowers and plants, we’d be willing to take better care of our earth and her elements.

Next time it rains, perhaps stop for a moment and feel the droplets’ kiss on your skin…listen for the song that she sings…your body knows it well.

Urban Twilight

Neon lights taser early evening shadows of the day

and dance off windows ever-reaching for the sky

Blazing, burnt orange sun makes its slow slide into the Hudson

Pours her liquid sunlight across the city spaces

between buildings, and down crowded streets, across the trafficked avenues

Something electric runs through the veins of life in the streets

The city, she feels more alive, more alight than before
