and sometimes in May
a snowfall surprises
freshly unfurled leaves
Always In April
Trees Thinking About Leaves
encouraged
by the evergreens
tiny buds plump themselves
Mourning Cloak
you
of brown velvet
supine in sunshine
Behold
each tiny bloom
declaration and celebration
of spring’s return
Flow
this is the texture
of time
passing by
Stillness And Then Departure
remnants of the wasp nest
disintegrating leaves
upon a bed of departing snow
Finding A Way
wind
going through
it
Making Do
the trees
are wearing clouds
in lieu of leaves
The Center Holds
shadows play
on the river of leaves
stillness inside movement
Should The Feeder Be Empty
beneath it
there is
plenty
Abstract Of Rickrack
zig zagging leaves
circle
upon themselves
Stained Glass Grass
cathedral windows
on the ground
nature is my church
One Way To Mark Your Place In Time
with one step
we are on the other side
and a new year begins
Walk With A Friend
to be thought of
by an animal
the best of communions
Beginnings
tiny pine
sets sights
on the sky
This From That
from the fallen oak
grew
a moss mountain
Turbulence
despite
wind and current
we travel together
Graceful Exit
in leaving
the leaving of self
behind
Frosting
these leaves
sugared
with cold
Clarity
everything intensified
as edges and differences
make themselves known
The Wondrous Wind
transforming
leaves into light
before winter’s good night
Reading Signs
goodbye
was written
in morse code
Winter Outerwear
the forest
wears a brocade cape
of leaves and fruit and vines
Still Green
in the morning sun
turning
frost into dew
Will You Find Your Way To Being A Butterfly
living inside
nourished with parsley
tended by humans
Primary, Secondary And Then
autumn brings
a tertiary rainbow
pink, yellow, orange
Treat
glowing
like a jack’o lantern
lit from within
A Marriage Of Maple And Birch
distinct
and yet
together
Watercolored Woods
thinned by the rain
what remains
intensified by space
Main Street
magnificent maples
by the white picket fence
autumn Americana
