pumpkin wears
a constellation of light
and the black of night
Scalloped Edge of Time
hearts on the mill stone
waiting to be used
Homecoming Dance
fall arrives
as leaf and shadow
dance in waning light
Inscription
autumn light
etches the edges
of everything into memory
Dive In
in the deep end
of color
oranges give way to light
Shine
August sun
the heart of heat
lighting everything from within
Escort
golden lanterns
in the fading light
accompany day into night
Spot Light
found by the light
or light from within
a beacon
How Day Breaks
God’s finger
a single ray of light
the touch of the divine
Reach
winter’s long shadow
reaches for
the shore of spring
Passage
this is the way
through the dark and the grey
past winter’s long night and into the light
Heading into Spring
ride the rails
out of winter’s shadows
into light and the beginnings of green
Illuminati
before bursting into being
possibilities illuminate
the breath of every second
Yet
a memory of last summer’s sun
the winter field not yet touched
by the greens of spring
Time Combined
for every shadow
there is light
counterparts
like day to night
Music Leads The Way
by the frozen vernal pond
in winter’s dark white
the flutist plays
Following Leads
through the reeds
a road emerged
that seemed to lead to spring
Needed
lantern in snow
a wink of light
feeds hope
Surrender
a tender pink sky
softened the world
strife surrendered
Flight
fleeing from the field
light rides
the salmon sky
Glory, Glory, Glory
a frozen star
a gift of light
a glimpse of the divine
Exultation
chosen she wears
the light of white
teaching lessons in joy
Solstice
a pause
before the sun’s reversal
and our heading into light
Alighted
light shone
on the finished field
transforming it to gold
Night Meets Day
bare branches
still covered in night
receive the morning sky
Slumber
december glooming
dark light on the marsh
this is where shadows sleep
Like to Like
soft as snow
feathered reeds
where winter will rest
Each Day New
the day wakes
light yawns across the valley
creation is never done
River Dance
light dances
across the surface
leaving footprints of joy
Crisp
autumn light
chisels colors
out of the blue
