most leaves now down
their absence
brings the mountain closer
Companion For Winter
Companions
we are
more alike
than not
Best Friends
no truer companion
to a picket fence
than the orange day lily
Scout In The Woods
blazing the trail
but always keeping
within sight
The Two Of Us
you in the tree
me in the house
both navigating winter
Contemplating Life
a good companion
is the flower
full of quiet and complexities
Alone With Everything
down the soft pine needle path
amidst the tall tall trees
the breeze accompanies me
Companions
wild beauty
on the fence rail
a compliment to flowering weeds
Good Company
the mountain
taken
as breakfast companion
Practice
mediation
on lavender and grey
fern’s delicate display
Escort
golden lanterns
in the fading light
accompany day into night
Companion
Midnight’s lamp
guides the sleepless
through the dark
Neighbor’s Light
Before the sun fully rises
the neighbor’s light across the way
is my kind companion in morning’s solitude.
