Mariposa Lily — Image by kenne
I cherish the solitude
of walking alone in nature —
no feelings of loneness
where everything around
me is alive and alert
to my presence
a spirit of closeness
and unity serving
in ecstatic integration.

There, standing alone
A mariposa lily
Adorns the dry field.

Bee On Fairy Duster — Image by kenne
Insect lover of the sun,
Joy of thy dominion!
Sailor of the atmosphere,
Swimmer through the waves of air,
Voyager of light and noon,
Epicurean of June,
Wait I prithee, till I come
Within ear-shot of thy hum,–
All without is martyrdom.
— from The Humblebee by Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Photographer
He moves along the mountain trail
carrying a camera over his left shoulder.
This has been a bad year for wildflowers,
only a few scattered here and there
tossed side-to-side by strong spring winds.
Most of the flowers he will see along the trail
he has photographed in better years of plenty,
still he hikes with hopes for the a few images
made special by his every changing imagination.
