Poem – Winter Nights #1
The midnight sky black, merged with the horizon fallen to the earth. A moon graces the northern sky, scattered across the white frozen fields and apple trees. Cold air rushes in and quickly condenses each time the door opens letting the puppy briefly out.

Poem – Definition
If I say I am without boundary, how will you define me? If I say I do not hear the words you say, am I still listening? If I look eastward, whose direction is it? If I swing my arm through the air, are you the only one feeling the movement? I exist here –…

Time Away
Deep into the northern woods, beneath the blue sky, near full moon, and lush pine trees, balance is finally being restored.

End of August, 2012
The last day of August, with another full moon, brings us closer to fall and the myriad of colors that Minnesota allows us to enjoy. It feels like this year is slipping away, but the remaining months could bring much change, and there will be a shift, as more and more people wake up from…

Before the Fray
3:30am wakeup call It is cold and wet, but not a January cold. Cold from the dark and faint light the moon is obscured and faint. Each tree, steetlight, and house casts a cold fuzzy shadow. Something, perhaps the following moon, said to take the slower, more scenic route and I drove through the quiet…
