Angel Sightings is a book in 4 parts: Angel Sightings, Written on the Wind, Water Wizard and Stone Poems. The book attempts to open the eye of the mind to explore and celebrate the natural world. In addition, the reader is invited to go on a spiritual journey into the wilderness and to return with a sense of wonder.
There was a curve in space to mark the passage of fire Angels as they fled from dawn to dusk.
Tarrying not lest shadows of things unmade or badly made take them unawares.
Riding plumed serpents across the western sky and down to the edge of night.

<h2><em><strong>Waking the Mirror</strong></em></h2>
The mirror sleeps the long night.
When it is dawn and the ritual begins
Waking the mirror
At first small bright flying things
Each shinning with its own light
Each admires its reflection as they fly westward
Then day glow white herons or egrets
spread their massive wings so that the sleepy mirror gets an eye full
and at last, the sun, burning with the white hot fires of a new day
marshals all the hues of the rainbow
calls them by name
and demands they speak their colors into the liquid mirror
The glass is full of light.
