autumn colors
creep up from behind
nine lives are not enough
Coloring
my eyes
can hardly hold
all the beauty that unfolds
Constant
amidst the world’s
noise and confusion
aster blooms in profusion
Inscription
autumn light
etches the edges
of everything into memory
Leaf Skin
as the snake
sheds his skin
trees discard their leaves
Recipient
everything
that was needed
was given in abundant grace
Beauty Berry
as the landscape mutes
and colors recede
one last glory
Crisp
autumn light
chisels colors
out of the blue
Being A Part
solitude
inside community
being a part of the whole
October Glory
the light
was as thick as honey
its sweetness coated the day
Tall Teachers
lessons take time
learning has no end
our subject is everything
Fate Awaits
lanterns and pies
bounty of the pumpkin patch
await their destiny
The Taste Of Color
plum purple
maple leaf
autumn’s fruit
Flickering
fairy candle
lights the way
into autumn’s darkening days
Field Song
grasses sing
a serenade
to shorter days
What The Field Watches
pumpkin on the mill stone
and so the seasons turn
Blaze
basking in
the autumn sun
colorful blaze of dahlia days
Field Psalm
dried grass’
wind song
autumn’s hymn
Other Side
just before the hard frost
the grass is at its greenest
a promise to meet us
on the other side of winter
Within
the single leaf
contains all of fall’s
colors and transitions
Fluid
last of the green leaves
make a watery autumn departure
Divesting
the landscape disrobes
and through thinning color
the mountain emerges
Watercolor
the ripple of birch
a wash of maple, ash and pine
soft autumn seen
Panes
red barn
holds a multitude
of views
Unity
keeping things together
rather than apart
the old fence embraces
autumn’s abundance of goldenrod
August Pond
autumn whispers
on the wind
casting seeds
amidst the greens
Communication
rising to the surface
autumn’s message of love
Revelation
autumn disrobes the landscape
revealing the elegance of limbs
Ornate
autumn’s
decorative art
filigree leaves
The Golden Hour
November light illuminates
perfection of the commonplace.
