First Light

First Light, February 2023
Iron Horse Ranch, Somerville

 

In silence I'm drawn

to the open field and the 

softness of first light

Sooner

Greening, January 2023

Silver skies look on

new life arrives sooner than

 we might imagine

Winter Beauty

Russet, January 2023

 

O winter beauty,

in unexpected places

we find you at rest

That's why

Winter Wildflowers, January 2023

 

Pale blooms in winter

almost undetectable,

that's why we get close

 

Peace

Sunset, January 2023
College Station, Texas

 

Together with you

in the fading light of day

my heart knows deep peace

Courage

 

"Scrape" by Riley Anderson

Storms brew courage and

boldness to face wind and waves,

without and within

While dreaming in red

"Daydream in Red" by Riley Anderson

While dreaming in red

I gaze into the distance 

where the light turns green

Brave Beginnings

"Man Looking for a Path" by Riley Anderson 
2022

 

See how the world waves

at your brave beginning on

the path meant for you

May you learn to sway

"Invisible Tree Branch" by Riley Anderson

May you learn to sway

under the dip dyed sky with

your heart open wide

Remembering

 

"Landscape of the forgotten dream" by Riley Anderson
Winter, 2023

Send me down the path

of Vincent's forgotten dream

a landscape of love

Your Sure Revival

Artist: Riley Anderson, Winter 2023

 

The passage shimmers

with golden gates leading to

your sure revival

Love Unconditional

Artist: Riley Anderson, Winter 2023

 

An invitation

into the presence of love

unconditional

Morning Guest

Yellow-rumped Warbler, December 2022

 

Freshly scattered seed

for you, my back porch caller

make yourself at home

Stowaway

Army Worm Moth, December 2022

 

Seeking shelter

from the coldest of cold nights

in my warm study

*We are in for a few freezing days and brought the plants inside from the porch. I caught the fluttering from the corner of my eye and discovered an interloper - enjoying the warmth. Everyone needs a warm place to be.
