"HAVEN"
The only conifer
On the hill.
Safety net for
Birds in flight.
From a distance,
A murmuring of swallows
Sweeps inside its
Shape.
Minutes pass, I anticipate
The explosion
And am not
Disappointed.
Alone.
Ageless feeling of
Solitude.
JP
"FOUND PATH"
Again and again,
Wandering the
Flatlands,
The clouds gather.
Can't stop it,
Can't wish it
Away.
Sharpen the
Senses,
Focus the
Mind.
Bring it
Home.

"ORANGE COLORED SKY"
Never ceases to
Amaze.
No matter the number of
Times.
Photographs don't
Express,
Paintings can't
Depict
The brilliance of
Your first
Orange Colored
Sky.
JP
"SACRIFICES"
Barely visible, that
Path.
Worn down years ago.
Now worn only by
Memories.
Dogs and horses,
Friends so young I barely
Recall.
Wishing won't make it so
Anymore.
Following from the
Memory
Of days long
Past.
One last walk
Still warms the
Soul.
Feeling not at all
Alone.
JP
"VIEW"
Ever get somewhere
Walking with
Curiosity,
And where you are
Is all that's
Real?
I find myself
Looking back at my
Footprints,
Knowing that the most
Compelling journey
Is just standing
Still!
JP
"PAINTING 101"
Looks like the long
Trip
Will end in darkness.
Miles to go,
Decisions to
Make.
No reason to stop
Now.
Paintings appearing
Before my eyes.
Let's just hope the
Memory holds
What I see.
Time will tell.
JP
"QUITTING TIME"
Calling the shots,
That's what it's doing.
The weather,
Always about the
Weather.
Well, some of us don't
Agree.
Informed is good enough
For me.
Throw caution to the
Wind,
Take a few chances,
Feel the
Rush!

"STORM CHASER"
Been told that many
Times.
Can't say that I blame them.
Thought provoking,
Though.
Told them all
From the beginning.
If I'm traveling
West,
Storms find
Me!
The best of both
Worlds.
JP
"TIME REMEMBERED"
Place is important.
Quiet reflection needed
These days.
Working up the
Courage
To choose the right
Words.
Won't be long and I'll be
Looking back.
Just to see if I've
Chosen well.
All I know is
Time and Place is
Key.
JP
"LOW BUSH"
Blueberry fields,
Hard to pick.
Low to the
Ground.
Worth the broken
Back.
Nothin' finer!
Comes to fall color up
Here.
Downeast bushes
Beat em'
All.

"QUESTIONS"
Had so many
Questions.
No other house for
Miles.
Neighbors? friends?
Shopping?
She lived by herself, large
House.
Loved her gardens and
Her dog.
We talked flowers, vegetables,
Talked about making
Decisions
With no opposing
View.
Left thinking she has
All she
Needs.
