fen before daybreak;
conjured will-’o-wisp phantoms
leading me astray

moonlight scatters in the mist

Crimson hides in green
the forest holds its breath still
a song waits to rise

A bright crimson male Northern Cardinal with a black face mask perches on a branch. A thin twig crosses over his eyes. Behind him is a soft blur of green leaves.

Residue of smoke
Carried gently by the wind
Our love, the ashes

from Sea and Shore, after Rachel Carson

Sunlight, filtering through
a hundred feet of water, makes

a fleeting, bluish twilight

in which dwell sponge and mollusk,
starfish and coral.

At the edge of a densely forested stretch of the Kaipara Sculpture Gardens (this can be quite the hike, don't let the name fool ya), a stunning view of the Kaipara Harbour.

spiders and flies
drawn to a charming streetlight
a frenzy of webs

A curved turquoise streetlight with many spider webs. The morning light is illuminating the webs.

..it's not about attracting a lot.. it's about the right things, people.. based on who you really are.. what you love to do.. and whatever it is.. please do more of that.. some-one needs it.. some-one needs only what you can offer.. use technology & life that way.. offer yourself.. offer that..
