colors being absorbed
by roots
already nourishing spring
The Fall
Good Luck Found
at the end of autumn’s rainbow
the forest filled
with gold
To Be And Be Another
after she flowers
blackberry lily
fruits in seed
The Fading
the meadow so recently
buzzing and bustling
now nearly a still life
Autumn Leaf On Pebble Beach
the delicate landing of a fallen leaf
the pebbled shore in conversation with the waves
the dog and I witnesses to all creation
The Hurried Hush
autumn days quicken
keeping pace with the meadow’s
movements of light and color
The Garden Crests
a yellow wave of color
crashes upon
the shore of fall
In Exchange
color leaving leaves
to redden berries and set the seeds
the bargain that autumn demands
Calligraphy Of Leaves
the story of summer
written in winter
told by the fall
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
