THE VELVET KISS OF THE FOG
EMBRACES AS A SOFT MOIST HUG
DRIFTING SILENTLY AS A GHOSTLY COMRADE
LIGHT AS THE LACE WINGS OF EARTH’S FLYING THINGS
WHITE HORIZONS OF FOGS FLOATING HILLS
CLOSING IN THE HEART TO FEARS
DOES FURROW THE BROW OF LIFE’S CHANGING LANDSCAPE
WHILE THE CAPTURED CRYSTAL BEADS OF WATER LACE
HIGHLIGHT THE WEB OF A SPIDER’S SECRET PLACE
DISCERNING THE SILHOUETTES OF NATURE’S SENTRIES
HUMBLED WITH WONDER AND SILENCE AS LOVE SINGS

A native of New Hampshire, Ron Roberts recently retired from a life of working with his hands. From his early days on a family farm to a career as an industrial welder boilermaker, he has always felt a kinship to the land. Comfortable working with timber, granite and soil, Ron, with his wife of 32 years, raised their family in a home he designed and built in Stratham. Only recently has he turned his artistic talents from timber frames and barn raising to poetry and photography as displayed here, from his self-published book “LABOR and LOVE.”
