PEGI EYERS


Picture

wind-filled heights,
dome of haze,
a humid touching,
black raven calls
 
The lake, slate blue
quiet glinting waves,
long soft grass
tiny white butterfly hovers

PEGI EYERS


Picture

The earth is what loves me
The earth is what thrills me
The earth is what feeds me
The earth is what thrills me
The earth is what gives me
The earth is my lover.

 
Desert view is what thrills me
Dry earth is what loves me
Desert heat is what thrills me
Desert earth is what feeds me
Hot sand is what dries me
The desert is my love.
 
The mesa view, the cactus
The desert is what thrills me
Dry powder is what loves me
Rich sand is what thrills me
Glowing orb in the desert
The desert sets me free.
 
The earth is what loves me
The earth is what thrills me
The earth is what feeds me
The earth is what thrills me
The earth is what gives me
The desert feeds my soul.

PEGI EYERS


Picture

There are few empty ponds
in the wilderness.
Some are beside roads,
busy roads.
 
Canada geese are circling high
above treetops,
above castle spires,
above rural routes
that lead back to the city.
 
One world holds us all.
One fragmented world.
At the heart of ponds
and tucked into corners where woodlands meet,
beats the source of life
precarious yet fecund.
 
There are banks of spring-thawed clay
on the shores of ponds,
marked by tracks,
(shrinking tracks)
or a pointed stick
spelling safety
and picnics in the summer.

offerings appear, ancestors echo, weaving the old and the new


Picture

embody place, hands touch, stone endures

fir trees track-end stand tall - enigmatic sentinels

PEGI EYERS


Picture

the glow of late summer
falling orb between the trees,
an urban forest is still a forest

oak and maple giants - sentinels,
the wind in the dry leaves sounds off
like a menace is brewing

and yet, as in ancient times
my clad feet follow uneven patches
up and down the broken ridge

passing lichen and figures made from bark
through the life-saving green
my body sways, back to sanctuary

as an animal decomposes in the duff

"Forest floor of a temperate broadleaf forest showing leaf litter."
The forest floor, also called detritus, duff and the O horizon, is one of
the most distinctive features of a forest ecosystem.
