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
The Yard In Autumn
leaves and light
rest
on the lawn
Unexpected Snow
trees still wearing
their autumn colors
put on a shawl of white
Durga
green goddess
her many limbs
holding up the sky
Still Life
vibrancy
and demise
juxtaposed by light
To Dwell Inside Magnificence
an autumn
walk in the woods
is to step inside the masterpiece
The Woodpecker
plumpness
as preparation
for winter
Rhythm Of The Seasons
a syncopation
of changing colors
fall’s visual music
House Wren On The Garden Rail
where to stay?
when all the world
is home
The Painted Fern
a perfection
of details and form
waiting to be discovered
Just After The Sun Rose
a fairy
flew by
trailing magic
Repose
motionless he remained
his soul already
flown to heaven
#zeninthegarden
#leafandtwig
#repose
Ruffles
edged in pink
a little frill
on leaves
Demure
unaccustomed to attention
woodland trillium
blushes
Arrival
even the leaves
came
two by two
May Storm
new leaves
and tender perennials
shiver beneath a blanket of snow
Wild Strawberries
sugared
with frost
before the berries
It Was A Day To Celebrate
the oak’s
graduation day
caps thrown everywhere
Protection
last year’s thorns
guard
this year’s growth
Unification
as time
went by
it all became one
Last Year’s Leaves
while leaving
they reveal the beauty
of their complexities
