Spring In The Midwest Sunday Morning Snow

As I slept in dreams of sweet spring rains and warm winds giving depth to the greening
IT SNOWED ALL NIGHT LONG!
When I woke and parted the curtins
there was a smile as my eyes took in the landscape draped in white.  Put on a pot of coffee and dressed to experience the quiet poetry of snow in my backyard.

Spring and Signs of Life a New Day Turn Within And Without by Stephen Craig Rowe

Just the other day I was talking to a friend in Kokstad, South Africa about all manner of things as friends do talk about. The past, present, the now, and future. My current ills and healing and events in her part of the world. Then she asked me if I had any dreams. Before I could answer there was an activity on my street. Sirens and such three or four doors down about a flair up or whatever. I excused myself and went to the porch to snap a pic or two. It was all over before I knew it was about and the fire men were folding the hoses. Attention to detail is paramount to attention to flighty events. Though half a world away, I would rather be there than in the blind. In the dreams and in the hands and heart. There was a break in the clouds and was able to place my hands in the garden for some signs of life.

My thought was so beyond words. Then bent for some signs of life of last years roses and I was amazed

The greening and colors took me by

The Day Lily poking her head in my happy face! A good day is a long day in the light. As ever be well, With love, Stephen Craig Rowe

COLD CREEK The Poem by Stephen Craig Rowe

Cold Creek

reflects

rust

colored

swaying reeds,

Pines,

Stars,

Mist swept

mountains

moaning

Ancient

Holy

songs

that

no

words can

tell.

Cold Creek

flow

Refresh

birdsong

doe

soft steps,

slip

stones

Banks ring

a

bright spark

of

Light

in

the

Water of Life.

Cold Creek

seep

from the

Heart

of

Earth

and

grace the

Brow

of

Life.

As ever be well, with love, Stephen Craig Rowe

Signs Of Life And Morphine Dreams

I arrived home late yesterday afternoon.  Nearly a week in the hospital was quite enough for now and the recovery begins to heal one stitch at a time.  One door open one door closed on long slow eve of Spring days gently grow longer and stronger while yearning for the Sun and signs of life

that shall warm faces and hearts.  Pens and swords scratch the winds that ring around all and surface from morphine dreams

to lay the words to print

Never to rest

yet lay

the poetic grace upon the screen

and become a sign of life. 

As ever be well,  Stephen Craig Rowe
