once one of many
now the last remaining
ending with a beginning
A Bloom Near Winter’s Edge
Yes
come feed on the garden
now that it is ending
slack your thirst at the birdbath
Brown Eyed Girl
as rudbeckia’s season closes
she speaks
of our ephemerality
As It Ends It Continues
autumn teaches
how much there is
in endings
Stillness And Then Departure
remnants of the wasp nest
disintegrating leaves
upon a bed of departing snow
Circle Of Life
every ending
ushers in
the next beginning
Meeting The Sweet By And By
a buoyancy of clouds
above the embers
of the day
Milkweed Snow
the snow
before the snow
beginnings in endings
Not Done Yet
sweet September
unwilling to let
summer’s party fade away
Watching The Clouds Parade
this rightful place
at river’s edge
near summer’s end
Owl Wing
merciless nature
nothing escapes the end
except beauty
Rainbow Ends
the far end
of the rainbow
colors in the day
Repose
the day after
the day lilies
ending
New Light
the yellow woods
leaves offer up
the last of their light
Pink Halo
columbine departs
trinity of trinity
leaves asunder
To End Is To Begin
fresh light
fell on New Year’s Day
shadows came and had their say
River Birch In Snowfall
the quieting white
shrouds
December’s last days
Of Rust and Roses
the old boxcar
and winter rose in spring
companions in endings
What Begins At The End
a decomposing stump
the palette
for green construction
