carried to the ground
each a place holder
of this fine fall day
Remnants Of The Wind
Grounded Rainbow
the earth
rejoicing in
terra firma’s colors
In October
flowers turn for
a lingering look
towards the retreating sun
Time Entwined
always together
the departure
and return
At Smith Pond
the silvered
sky and lake
a mirror to memory
Fern As Flower
as flowers
go silent
the fern blooms
Shy Sky
day blushed
overcome by its
eminent beauty
Berries
awaiting winter harvest
by our feathered
permanent residents
A Change of Register
the light
now speaks
in the tones of autumn
Little Red Mushrooms
vibrant spots of joy
in the browning landscape
Slow
water and the afternoon
meander through
the marsh
Give What The Other Hasn’t
soft moss caresses
the hard edge of granite
this is how ease is made
Autumn Meadow
color concentrates
life consolidates
ever renewing as seed
Friends Passing By
nasturtium’s yellow
calls out hello
to turning aspen leaves
High And Low
rocks receiving
the eternal cycle
of the tides
Water Dance
the current
is rockweed’s
favorite partner
In The Mirror Of The Sea And Sky
a lavender gloaming
as day ebbs
towards night
Sunrise Silhouette
the new day’s light
the ripples on the water
the heron’s stealth
movement condensed
A Luminosity Of Grace
be still
and the light
will dance upon you
September
when summer marries fall
her bouquet
is made of dahlias
Woods In Morning Mist
I sit and let
the trees teach me
how to breathe
In The Glazed Jade Pot
sweet begonias
who have blessed us
all summer long
Last Corn Field
planted with extra care
this field saved
for the dear dairy cows
Expansion
bloom, bloom, bloom
as one portion fades
another is begun
Sunflower Hedge
keeping summer
and sunshine
in the yard
Spectacular Zinnia
in detail, color, design
a glory
before Fall
Chores
repetitive tasks
a meditation on
the rhythm of living
Indisputable
evidence and inspiration
of the joy
in being alive
Heading Home
my heart anticipates
each bump and turn
of this known road
Twilight
summer
on the wane
her beauty lingers
