winter’s internal seasons
of snow then rain
and so it all begins again
Everything At Once
each element
finds the perfect place
next to all the rest
Leaves Leaving
the essence
of trees
emerging
Coat Weather
autumn’s coat
of many colors
adorned with tassels
Autumn Revels
a crowd
of colors
celebrate
New Light
the yellow woods
leaves offer up
the last of their light
The Artist At Play
nature
in her paint box
the intrepid unexpected
Red Bug
tiny
stop sign
go, go, goes
Reclamation
browning ferns
shedding leaves
to the earth returned
Berry Dazzle
forest floor
strewn with
jewels
Maiden Hair Fern
the fairest
of them
all
In The Subtle Shift Of Light
the clouds, the leaves, the grasses
all ride
the wind of season’s change
Time Travel
there goes the wind
through the trees
carrying time
Matching Outfits
bird
and flowers
dressed alike
Stages
the beauty
inside
yet to be seen
Small White Butterfly
spirit
of a dear friend
visiting again
Reverence
moment of stillness
gratitude
for this day
Pink Halo
columbine departs
trinity of trinity
leaves asunder
Helene
garden’s goddess
overseeing beauty
from beyond
Verse
line of hearts
love sonnet
from the garden
Penciled In
barest
outlines of colors
before leaves unfurl
Together
side by side
synchronicity
of bending blooms
Hours of the Flower
blood root’s dawn
answers to the sun’s call
blood root’s noon
Beauty’s Labor
dirty petals
gathered round
protecting color
Resolve
barely
weathered by winter
the enduring oak
Inchoate
held tight
inside the bud
color gathers force
Hope With Frost
eternal
desire to be
growing
Sugared Leaves
the season of sweetness
not just
maple’s dominion
Well Matched
unexpected warmth
a shaft of light
the robin’s table set
Stop Action
the world stirs
then stops again
spring’s incremental approach
