the night winds arrive
whisking us to dreams
where we’ll alight
is a mystery story
told once or many
Night night
#Littlesleepers
Sweet dreams

I can guarantee
we were the only ones
with crab pot markers
hanging from a tree
up on ~
Ohayo Mountain Road
Woodstock NY
a bedtime story ❤️
Night night
little sleepers
Now go to sleep
#Littlesleepers

Birds fly over water after being alerted to the kayaker

Poetry takes flight
ordinary ~ extraordinary
words play on wings
Fly away Fly away
fly away home
Night night
little sleepers
vagabond yawns
tuck me with the young-uns
I’ve fought my fight
close me eyes prop the feet
It’s that time again
to fall fast asleep
#Littlesleepers

A pine cone, sassafras leaf and an oak leaf rest upon a forest bed of needles

forest hums the blues
a season ends
another begins
Night night
little sleepers
natures sorrows sing
leaves color till death
seeds broadcast
trees denuded
vulnerabilities exposed
for the slumber time
to compost grief
for springs glory
#Littlesleepers

A fall colored sassafras leaf lying on pine needles

Silly old sassafras
you’re already dropping
floating down to pine needles
mesmerizing me to give in
heavy eyes & yawning mouth
Night night
little sleepers
May your soul rest
on a soft pine spot
Looking up at silly old
Sassafras falling in air
like confetti amore
#Littlesleepers

A dying cypress tree, home to many small birds. The perfect listener to all who speak their tales of woe or joyous happiness. Standing for many years, but now vanished leaving no trace except images in a phone.

I once knew a tree
a dying cypress
full of small birds
a good listener
Night night
little sleepers
stories from trees
who give shelter & home
the trick is to ask
What’s up with you tree?
If I could live on love
I’d be here forever
But tides change
Ebb & Flow ~ you know
#Littlesleepers

A handmade gate

Young Petie at 57 When I thought I was king of the hill, unbreakable, smart ass, nothing impossible, but little did I know that life travels down paths we never knew existed. Now ten years later all the badass is gone and empathy is my abundance. I was magical, making dreams come true, myself more surprised than ever, how did I do that?, a typical mantra. And now I’m grateful to walk and to have a safe nest, but universe could you imagine me back in the Catskills on Ohayo Mountain. I thank you in advance.

Ten years ago
a smart ass ~ sexy lope
daredevil escapades

Night night
little sleepers
We never know the future
hair now white
unsteady gait/ falls
adventures are books
dreams gone poof
Give up? No way
heart still beating
feet keep tramping
#Littlesleepers

Elder shaman woman wonders what will happen to us all

The pedestrian contemplated
extrapolated
all the quotients
questions & quirks
Night night
little sleepers
Answers elusive
mad mad world
What to do with it
But to try my best
give the helpful hand
listen listen listen
Love till it hurts
count sheep then sleep
And rest
#Littlesleepers

A large fir tree with two swings

Come let’s swing
we’ll tell stories plein air
painting words of care
Sharing ❤️
Night night
little sleepers
Life is for singing
songs of those gone
Hands for holding
the grief of friends
Feet for jumping
to joyful good news
Gifts for giving
Hearts are living
for you & you & you
me too
#Littlesleepers

Feathers found with frayed nylon rope arranged to give joy to the next one by

Count the blessings
the one who pours coffee
ones who travel far
They who know the
intimacies of nearby
Sky catchers • Flower lovers
Teachers of ancient lore
Ones who bring us trees
Night night
little sleepers
We gather for the storyteller
camera ready
Smile everyone, say cheese!

A gill net is set between barnacle encrusted poles

Words drift along
caught by a pen
Sing song Sing song
the prayer repeats
Night night
little sleepers
The net is set
fish swim ~ days end
the prayer repeats
until there is sleep
Tomorrow will come
words will be drifting
the net is checked
No fish today ~ try again
the prayer repeats
#Littlesleepers

A strand of green nylon rope ends up tangled with driftwood and grass

tossing & turning
gasping air
gulping water
To find yourself tangled
Night night
little sleepers
Shelter from the storm
could just be an
ordinary weathered wood
giving time to rest
Until the next flood tide
drifts you away ~
A beautiful green goddess
fairytale night dream

Stray cat finds comfort in an old wool blanket left out for him during an icy morning in the cold of winter

He was a rough & tumble
Coming through
now & then
He got the baby wrens
I forgave him, cause cat
Night night
little sleepers
There’s folks we know
alone in this world
all we can do is hope
they find the wool blanket
left out for them
on an icy morn
and let rest come sweetly
#Littlesleepers

We are all intertwined in a most spectacular way

Cheers to the
woods trampers
the hand with pen
that writes a story
the brushstroke painter
music makers
photo takers
mountain climbers
Night night
little sleepers
sing the songs
Count the sheep
firefly sparks
rising up before us
going to see the stars
man in the moon too
#Littlesleepers

Soulful tearful
late night prayers
Gleeful tearful
gushes of gratitude
So close they could be
siblings
Night night
little sleepers
On knees
so near the secrets of life
investigating the tadpoles
jumping with toads
Time for fairy tales
then out go the lights
#Littlesleepers

thunder & lightning
pouring down rain
Night night
little sleepers
Nature cleanses
and we read a new book
kettle on for hot chocolate
cat slumbers in peace
let the day retire and rest
the night says
I’ll soothe the senses
You’ve done enough
you’ve done your best
#Littlesleepers

A young cypress grows sheltered by towering elders

youth is a delicate beauty
nestled among elders
Night night
little sleepers
protect the dear shy ones
growing into their heights
soon they will retell the tales
of glory you gave
And
celebrate your life of
shelter & shade
For to be a tree
is the sweetest of dreams
#Littlesleepers

An ancient lair in a cypress tree growing in a swamp

Old ancients long majestic
hide away cry away
lived down to smooth
Night night
little sleepers
Twisted facade
heart’s hidden lair
entrance worn by pacing
to guard & conjure
Beloved forgiveness ~
while bessemer fires forge
bespoke rest
#Littlesleepers

Pilings stacked

multi colored layers
patina’s soul song
down down deep
Night night
little sleepers
lullaby whispers
shy silent prayers
year upon year
what will be will be
now come to sleep
and sing the dreamy
patina’s soul song
down down deep
#Littlesleepers

The marsh starts to green under a cloudy gray sky

I slip into the tall grass
disappearing discreetly behind a green veil of nature
Night night
little sleepers
let the ritual of seasons
capture your heart
Life isn’t just about love
it’s the history of peoples
the fingerprints left behind
Footprints to follow
Sleep to find
#Littlesleepers

The Ashokan rail trail

Imprint Impression Illusion
layer upon layer
time after time
The ones before
Night night
little sleepers
Across a dike, down a ways
voices of Italian stone cutters
Thud of ties, clang of rails
Lovers arm & arm
We have all been here before
#Littlesleepers

Night night
little sleepers
I’m slack for words
All I have to give you
tree, rocks & lake
Let this bring solace
quiet & restful sleep
All your dreams come true
#Littlesleepers

Come forth ~ let me see
who waits patiently
past death ~ behind glass
Night night
little sleepers
Seduce sorrow
Invite ~
raging storms
blistering designs
Flow sans resistance
Come ~
It is poured
lounge awhile
drink your comfort
Oh yes I smile
with love my dream
my perfect cup of tea
#Littlesleepers
