all the voices
of the leaves
rise in winter’s hymn
When The Wind Blows
The Space That Absence Holds
it is
the place
where love remains
Captured Moment
falling
and then
suspended in time
In December
the landscape slumbers
glittering leaves
the froth of dreams
Layered Realms
fall submerged
beneath ice
and shadows
Botanical Print
lingering leaves
a curtain
of light
Briefly
before
the season of snow
the season of shadows
Terraced Textures
each level
luxuriating
in light
Together
every disparate part
from the moss to the snow
is needed for the whole
Time’s Allotment
old goldenrod and evergreens
holding the inbetween
of seasons
