burning bright
on a freezing morn
Reading Signs
was written
in morse code
Departure Details
at the edges
the full disclosure
The Light, The Colors, The Change
here
in this leaf
Beautiful Goodbyes
the intricacies
of structure emerge
Main Line
down the leaf
to the root of things
Simplicity As Palette
is a minimalist
with a grand presentation of form
Apparition
the ghost
of hosta’s
past
Beneath The Skin Of Cold
a maple leaf
inlayed
into winter
Double Helix
there it was
the chain of life
in the curves of the leaf
Still Life’s Motion
what holds
the snowflake to the leaf
but hope and faithful buoyancy
This December’s Interval
rock, leaf, ice, snow
elements and artifacts
underfoot
Found And Found Again
the truth
of beauty
is always rearranging
What Leaving Leaves
behind
the missing spot
lies tomorrow
Holiness Seen
tiny white outline
halo
on hallowed leaf
One of Many
the shadow reveals
another definition
of self
Keyhole
the aperture
through which
time and seasons pass
Proximity
missive
from the future
fall’s imminence
Looking Into The Light
even sunflowers
need
some shade
Alighted Illumination
one leaf only
chosen
by the light
In The Enormous Woods There Perches A Tiny Soul
feathered emerald
the size
of a birch leaf
Topography
here it is recorded
every nuance
of each day
Cruciferous Cabbage
purple veins
pulsing
with nutrients
Everywhere
divine beauty
resides with us
in every ordinary thing
Return
the old metal door
and last year’s oak leaf
returning to the elements
May Rain
each drop
nourishes dreams
of what will be
Restoration
leaves to unfurl
songs to sing
spring’s beginnings
Leaf Life
sculpture on ice
bas relief
of a leaf’s life
Spied
merest
hint of green
hope enough for March
Silver Moon Inside
leaf unfurls
to its full
ascension
