still silence, resting —
grounded in nature’s refuge,
sky as my canvas

still silence, resting —
grounded in nature’s refuge,
sky as my canvas
see the toiling bee –
a part of, not apart from
the human story
— Jean Detjen
living for the day
the birds us be, sky and sea
connected we are
— Jean Detjen
eyes closed, breathing snow
of earth’s delicate, wet scents
where ground and sky meet
