leaves and water
trembling with the speed
of autumn’s changing colors
Autumn Comes
Nature’s Merriment
pink leaves
giggling up color
amidst the waning ferns
Warmth
the air now crisped with cold
some leaves still hold color
they warm my shivering heart
Revealing All The Tiny Details Of Connection
the space that grows
between each leaf
coaxes sight into insight
Rock Hopping
chasing warmth
autumn light traverses
the rocky river bed
Evergreens
as colors wane
the pines step forward
offering their constant camaraderie
The Transfer Of Color
trees emptied of leaves
so an autumn sunset
colors the sky
Color Hunting
leaf peepers
big buck
the red, red maple
Asylum
some of the color
that has left the woods
finds refuge on the island
Contained
all transformations
of the seasons change
assembled in the now
First Hint Of Fall
a quick kiss
by the cool breeze
on the landscape’s cheek
The Painter’s Eye
autumn is an impressionist
embuing everything
with the emotion of light
How Autumn Starts
branches
reintroduce themselves
one tiny flare of red
Watercolored Woods
thinned by the rain
what remains
intensified by space
To Dwell Inside Magnificence
an autumn
walk in the woods
is to step inside the masterpiece
Intensity
not to be outdone
by turning maples
the stoplight dahlia
Attending Service
worship
in the woods
beauty is the pew
Color Burns In The Rain
maple flames
birch trails
white smoke
Late Meadow
the season’s colors
settling down
to the ground into brown
Leaves Leaving
the essence
of trees
emerging
New Light
the yellow woods
leaves offer up
the last of their light
First Light
as the garden bed sleeps
first light
blooms in the sky
When The Skies Open Up
red
dew drops
of crabapple rain
Departure
on red leaf wings
summer days
fly away
Magic Rays
the sky’s
crayons
coloring the trees
Beautiful World
autumn colors
creep up from behind
nine lives are not enough
To Every Thing
rose on leaves
in the season
of love
Sometimes
the grass is greener
right where you are
Sweet Slumber
the iris have been sent to bed
beneath a blanket of maple red
Snow Approaches
elevations
closest to heaven
wear white first
