shadows dark as night
the brook thick with cold
winter taking hold
In These Shorter Days
May It Be Every Day
we journey
towards each other
open hearted
End Of The Rainbow
colors gathered
on the ripples
in the light
Light And Water Falls
in the presence
of transience’s beauty
peace flows
Field Of Dreams
the many many seeds
now gone to bed
to dream and conjure up our spring
Rest
the season asks
for slowing down
let stillness be a pastime found
Witnessed By Barn Windows
in the meadow
tide lines
of seeds
Berries Brown And Red
decorating
the landscape
feeding the birds
November Gifts
even as winter’s grey descends
whoops of color
and a glittering flutter
Homecoming
every thing
on its way
to becoming one
Clouds Like The Day’s Breath
in November’s dark
the light is brighter
and the blues colder
In Nothing Everything
the wind stopped
and the whole world stilled
a settling of collective rest
To Leave Is To Return
in the season
of seeds
everything is giving
Old Friend
you and I
on creaky knees
still enjoying a wander
Companion For Winter
most leaves now down
their absence
brings the mountain closer
Fields At Rest
fortitude
is being built
in the fallow field
Spotted
freedom on the wing
liberty perched
high in the pine
Burning Bush
an enduring
divinity of
light and color
Keep Watch
three lighthouses
and the morning star
guiding in the day
Sunrise
beam of light
reaching for heaven
reaching for us
Sail On
wind at your back
untether yourself
from fear
Peace Visited
welcome is made
by acceptance and surrender
to beauty’s embrace
Concentration Of Red Maple
color that pulses
my heart beats
in sync
October Tableau
the shadows and leaves
a collage
depicting time
Heads Up
a mast year
toads dodge
the falling acorns
Wild And Free
some petals spent
the joyful bloom
undeterred
Lift Your Eyes
and see
how trees reach
for heaven
Be The Way
like the water lily
feed your light
into the darkness
Wearing The Wool That Will Warm Us
sheep graze
beneath a rainbow of leaves
content in their well earned peace
Shell Collecting
the forest
a green ocean
her leafy tide revealing
mushroom seashells
