the story of summer
written in winter
told by the fall
Calligraphy Of Leaves
Cattail Cotton Candy
sweet stuff
spun out of
light and life
Fall Bids Us To
wake up and embrace
the glorious beauty
of every fleeting moment
Glancing Back
you notice me
eavesdropping on
your song
Like Honey
luminous autumn light
sticks to every
leaf and twig
First Hint Of Fall
a quick kiss
by the cool breeze
on the landscape’s cheek
Generosity
rain and roses
more gifts
from September
All The Season Always
there is a veil
between winter and spring
comprised of the remains of summer and fall
Layered Realms
fall submerged
beneath ice
and shadows
In Autumn Light
we begin to see
the definitions
made by absence
Boardwalk In The Marsh
the walk
itself
is the destination
Making Space
as leaves exit
a slow reveal
of stature and line
Last Hurrah
regardless
of the wear and tear
still exuding joy
No Longer Even A Memory
like the night’s dreams
morning mist disperses
until dissolved
Atop The Palisades
evergreens
hold back the sky
from falling over the edge
The Wondrous Wind
transforming
leaves into light
before winter’s good night
Primary, Secondary And Then
autumn brings
a tertiary rainbow
pink, yellow, orange
Autumn’s Gloaming
a radiance of colors
as the season fades
to winter
Into The Blue
a sky so wide
if I lift my arms
will I be able to fly?
The River
I let
the current carry
all my worry away
Main Street
magnificent maples
by the white picket fence
autumn Americana
The Maple
heralding
the season change
a deepening of golds to red
The Light, The Colors, The Change
all of autumn
here
in this leaf
Late Bloom
dahlia’s delicacy
in counterpoint
to fall’s exuberance
Beautiful Goodbyes
as colors fade
the intricacies
of structure emerge
Autumn Palette
weather spins
the color wheel
to unending appeal
Snail’s Pace
gorgeous October days
ever so slowly
we tuck the garden in
Yellow House With Chrysanthemums
harmony
presided throughout
house and garden
Autumn In The Meadow
the light
more precious
as darkness nears
Renewal
autumn’s intensity
of color and light
renews my spirit
