Nature

Words: A poem on Sticks and Stones

Words
Sharp and cutting
Smooth and soothing
Colored by what surrounds them

Snags at Crater Lake, OR
Western juniper bark
Winter sunrise

Words
Forked and dividing
Fibrous and fortifying
Defined by what surrounds them

Roots and rocks

Words
Tangled and eroding
Tranquil and tempering
Embraced by what surrounds them

Centered in Bend, Oregon, my blog branches out into nature, history, and art-related topics.
