goodbye – Leaf & Twig

Reading Signs

goodbye
was written
in morse code

Beautiful Goodbyes

as colors fade
the intricacies
of structure emerge

Until We Meet Again

waving
in the wind
flowers adieu

Like Lovers Parting

monarch and flower
kissed by the sun
one final embrace
before the journey’s begun

Calling Card

fall left
a sweet pink
goodbye

Until We Meet Again

grasses weep
a tear or two
bidding summer ado

Too Soon To Say Goodbye

like summer
we linger
by the fencepost

Until Next Year

grass waves goodbye
to the deep blue
of the cold sky

Migration

headed south
the honking
of goodbye

Sweet Goodbye

final visit
to the last
of the lilacs

Until Tomorrow

cheerful wave
the end of day
colors of goodbye

Fare Thee Well

feathered ones know
winter says goodbye
in snow

Bedtime

tenderly the day
kissed the sky
goodnight

Kiss

the day arrived
in wisps and sighs
the kiss of color as night goodbyes

Late Bloom

delphinium unfurls
a final wave of blue
summer’s sendoff

Goodbye Note

in the language of leaves
summer left behind her message
I will return

Embrace

fingers of moss
entwine the old tree
a lover’s goodbye embrace.
