the day
blue and sparkling
banishing winter
We’ve Arrived
Begin Again
the field by example
inspires the trees
to return to green
Winter Reconstituted
at night
ice made anew
from yesterday’s melt
Green Began
or was always there
just waiting
to be uncovered
Eggshell Of Ice
it is the sun
that will hatch
the pond
March Madness
some
of
everything
Dressed For The Season
leaves wearing
shawls of
wind knitted snowflakes
All Sorts And Conditions
in snow and ice
a branch both nude and barked
leaves sheltered and exposed
Sheltered
no snow
beneath
the canopy
Cascade
waterfall of time
this year’s leaves
descending mossy granite
The Red Maple
late color
the last ruby smile
of autumn
Berries Brown And Red
decorating
the landscape
feeding the birds
Blushed With Cold
edges
articulated
by frost
Outside The Church Steeple
nature worships
with each leaf
a prayer
Companion For Winter
most leaves now down
their absence
brings the mountain closer
Lily Berries
cheery berries offer
a bright goodbye
as fall fades
Concentration Of Red Maple
color that pulses
my heart beats
in sync
October Tableau
the shadows and leaves
a collage
depicting time
Lucky Are The Wanderers
summer departs
like a rainbow’s end
the forest full of gold
Whispers Of Adieu
new slant of light
the colors start
as summer slips away
Be The Way
like the water lily
feed your light
into the darkness
Jack-in-the-Pulpit
the seeds
of next year’s
sermons
Autumn Comes
leaves and water
trembling with the speed
of autumn’s changing colors
Nature’s Merriment
pink leaves
giggling up color
amidst the waning ferns
Geometry
lines and intersections
angles of angles
the fluency of plants
in the language of math
The Finished Bloom
like a hand
reaching back
for seeds too scatter
Black Rocks Green Leaves
beside the brook
light and shadow
conversed about
contentment’s ways
Deep In The Daylilies
one shiny black eye
unmasked
his stone disguise
Marsh Concerto
plunk and peep of frogs
whispers in the reeds
songs sung by leaves
Pergola
the roof of leaves
kaleidoscoping light
magic in the outside room
