Rabbit shrugs, slips, quiet--hush
Beagle sniffs, wags, bays.

Metaphors of Hope Reflections by Steve Dobrott Photos by Jan Haley
“These photographs depict the juxtaposition of hopeful tenderness of life emerging from a prickly dangerous world. Kind of like what we are going through now.”

Pee Wee at Dawn
Perched on my chimney
she sings, soft lonely music
floats down to my soul.

For Bruce
Painted horses storm,
distant ridges--ragged hooves,
Summer rains, pounding.

Protect us Mother Earth
Sky wraps around us,
Earth under foot, holds us close,
Breathe in peace and calm

Brightly yet quietly sprawls
We peek through windows

Old water runs cold

Sit still in your soul
Listen slow, silent to breath
The story speaks soft.

Ancients trace the path,
Earth and sky, etched stone and
Bird song calls us home.
