In the Middle of the Night
Snow slides off the roof
In the middle of the night
And a cat meows
Nature
Nature has its way
In every circumstance
No alternatives
The Call of an Owl
The call of an owl
Floats through the warm evening air
And sings mice to sleep
Walt Whitman — Least Heat-Moon — Self balanced

— William Least Heat-Moon quoting Walt Whitman in Blue Highways
William Least Heat-Moon — Blue Highways — Diligent Thought and Life
“To insist that diligent thought would bring an understanding of change was to limit life to the comprehensible.”

Sunlight on the Rock
Sunlight on the rock
Or are they just sharing space?
A winter morning
Sneezes
How many sneezes
Are found in a winter cold?
There are always more
Sunlight on the Wall
Sunlight on the well
Melted into each other
Two and yet one
First Light of Day
The first light of day
Experienced many times
As sun chases moon
A Day of Travel
Of it own accord
Life unfolds naturally
A day of travel
Rain
Rain falling gently
Already too many words
Rain is just enough
Reunited
The wind and snow join
Reunited for a dance
The hens huddle close
Cold Nights
Bitterly cold nights
A reminder of nature
Cats sleep by the stove
Accumulation
Accumulation!
Snowflakes swirling and dancing
Silence and chaos
