The great oak tree
encircled by the dusk,
with myst gently floating on the air
settles my soul.









He-hummingbird hangs in the air
With she-mate nearby
sitting on tiny feet
she yearns to build her nest.





Return to Poetry Index
The damp air tenderly drips
from green limbs,
to moisten dry leaves
to moisten my thirsty needs.

Encircled by your strength
Tenderly watered by your love
I wait
I wait.
Encircled
