wake up and embrace
the glorious beauty
of every fleeting moment
Fall Bids Us To
Becoming
in saying goodbye
the leaf became
a butterfly
The Dance
wanting each moment
to last forever
impatient for what is next
Like Honey
luminous autumn light
sticks to every
leaf and twig
That Old Master
autumn light
painting memories
on the landscape
Competition
not to be outdone
by outside
the houseplant’s leaf
Thoughts Of Winter
gather
at the edge of the woods
beneath the willow tree
Unexpected Snow
trees still wearing
their autumn colors
put on a shawl of white
The Maple
heralding
the season change
a deepening of golds to red
Autumn Palette
weather spins
the color wheel
to unending appeal
Snail’s Pace
gorgeous October days
ever so slowly
we tuck the garden in
Rhythm Of The Seasons
a syncopation
of changing colors
fall’s visual music
Magnificence
I gloried
in the maple
taking her color as my strength
The Princess Tree
voluminous pink
in every shade and hue
adorned her
Feeling Time Pass By In The Breeze
the gilded woods
a golden day
if only it could stay
End Of Season
the swimming hole
so cold now
only water frolics
The Birch Glittering
like being lifted
into heaven
living in so much beauty
The Dear Nearness Of The Wilderness
miles of mountains
populated only by trees
as it should be
Reformation
pinked
from chilly nights
dew and disintegration
Coat Weather
autumn’s coat
of many colors
adorned with tassels
Autumn Revels
a crowd
of colors
celebrate
Autumn Gold
affluence
of leaves
prosperity of color
How Color Comes
under cloud cover
it hikes across
the landscape
Touch Of Fall
gathering
at the edges
time’s concentration
Reclamation
browning ferns
shedding leaves
to the earth returned
Structure Made Known
leaf’s skeleton
revealed
bright white backbone
The Expansion of Color
white birch
reflecting
fall’s gloriousness
Fall’s Reflection
water colored
by fall’s display
changing by the day
Summer Surrounded
season change
maple frames
the baled hay
Presage of the Leaves
geranium begins
fall’s colors
creeping in
