escape – Leaf And Twig

Wily Escape

released
by the sun
back on the run

holding their breath
hoping to make it
to thanksgiving

chipmunks sound
their one chirp warning
everyone down the hole to safety

merciless nature
nothing escapes the end
except beauty

the trees
astounding colors
escape into the sky

white flags raised
the field
is surrendered

travel
the curving petal edge
swim the pool of color

irresistible invitation
work can wait
on the table

the cloisonné center of helenium
captivates the grasshopper
nothing escapes beauty’s grasp
