this
sweet season
sugars everything
Power Of Intention
with the help of the sun
I focus my attention
on leafing and blooming
We Are Like
raindrops
in a puddle
essentially, eventually one
Crossing Boundaries
inspired by moss
a touch of green
kindles in last year’s grass
Apparition
the ghost
of hosta’s
past
A Wishbone Branch
will spring
or snow
get the bigger piece?
Still Life
cold holds together
the elements
of March’s mosaic
Birch Bark Mushroom
decomposition
a transition of
sustenance to self
Vestiges
nestled between
the snow and log
late fall’s remains
The Wind
blurring
everything’s edges
abstracting where we are
Singular Ambition
one acorn
waits to grow
a forest
Oak And Heuchera Juxtaposed
rain revealed
a still purple leaf
preserved by cold
The Other Word For Courage
may your hope
be as sturdy
as the oak
Light In The Leaves
shining like gold
glowing like embers
light is life
Motion
the leaves and the grasses
even the very air
dancing to winter’s tune
The Other Cabbage Rose
paradox of the purple bloom
petals holding both
snow and sun
Calling Card
fall left
a sweet pink
goodbye
The Maple That Is Sunshine
like splashes
of the sun
fall’s fine finish
Circle Of Life
all
woven together
departure and arrival
The Leaves’ Lullaby
a song
made of silence
in the falling hush
The Colors Whisper Now
and each
falling leaf
opens a new view
Halloween Bunting
banners wave
the hunting party gathers
to stalk their candy prey
Magnificence
I gloried
in the maple
taking her color as my strength
The Princess Tree
voluminous pink
in every shade and hue
adorned her
Concentration
a potent joy
in the brightness
of crabapples
The Dear Nearness Of The Wilderness
miles of mountains
populated only by trees
as it should be
Watercolored World
the edges
between everything
dissolving
Reformation
pinked
from chilly nights
dew and disintegration
Summer Blooms Summon Fall
the garden’s call of color
an invitation
to the leaves to turn
Clustered
crabapple
congregants
commune
