some of the color
that has left the woods
finds refuge on the island
Asylum
Intricacies Of Goodbye
abrupt or lingering
departures always leave something
if only the new beginning
Early Departure
each hole
a doorway where
life passes through
Graceful Exit
in leaving
the leaving of self
behind
Departure Details
it begins
at the edges
the full disclosure
While Monarchs Have Departed The Butterfly Bush Blooms On
the nourishment
of beauty
soul food
The Iris Departing
fading blooms
spiral
into themselves
Last Year’s Leaves
while leaving
they reveal the beauty
of their complexities
Circle Of Life
all
woven together
departure and arrival
What Leaving Leaves
behind
the missing spot
lies tomorrow
Pink Halo
columbine departs
trinity of trinity
leaves asunder
White Flags Departure
white flags raised
the field
is surrendered
Departure
on red leaf wings
summer days
fly away
One by One
each leaf
in their own time
glory then the fall
Revealed
as leaves depart
the hideaway
is made known
Homecoming Dance
fall arrives
as leaf and shadow
dance in waning light
Structure of Spirit
with all of youth departed
the essence laid bare
great beauty remains
Exodus
delicate departure
wild aster
in seed
