reprieved from freezing
a sun warmed soup
of autumn’s leaves
From Above
Stillness
the lichen
and the leaves
find their autumnal repose
Cattail Cotton Candy
sweet stuff
spun out of
light and life
Wearing The Blush Of Cold
succulent roses
tenacious as barnacles
cling to the end of autumn
Fall Bids Us To
wake up and embrace
the glorious beauty
of every fleeting moment
Invitation
autumn left
the gate open so
summer’s end could enter
Combinations
this morning held everything
each possible
presence and absence
Glancing Back
you notice me
eavesdropping on
your song
Like Honey
luminous autumn light
sticks to every
leaf and twig
That Old Master
autumn light
painting memories
on the landscape
Time’s Allotment
old goldenrod and evergreens
holding the inbetween
of seasons
Porthole
an autumn rain
becomes winter ice
window to the seasons passage
In Autumn Light
we begin to see
the definitions
made by absence
Boardwalk In The Marsh
the walk
itself
is the destination
Heavy Rain Finds Her Wings
when the slush
begins to float
autumn’s door is closing
All Of Autumn
taking place
in a puddle
on the ground
A Spell Is Cast
in autumn light
vision extends
into the forever
Splendor
the saintly birch
in her golden halo
luminous in blue
The Leaving Season
late autumn
time rushes by
like leaves on the wind
The Mountain Whispered Orange
this autumn
is a delicate affair
subtle in her hues
How Autumn Starts
branches
reintroduce themselves
one tiny flare of red
Autumn
shadows
are gaining ground
but light refuses full retreat
Last Hurrah
regardless
of the wear and tear
still exuding joy
As It Ends It Continues
autumn teaches
how much there is
in endings
No Longer Even A Memory
like the night’s dreams
morning mist disperses
until dissolved
Color Parade
late summer blooms
inveigle
autumn’s turn
Softly
the gentle landscape
rising and falling
showing us how
Primary, Secondary And Then
autumn brings
a tertiary rainbow
pink, yellow, orange
Autumn’s Gloaming
a radiance of colors
as the season fades
to winter
A Marriage Of Maple And Birch
distinct
and yet
together
