chasing warmth
autumn light traverses
the rocky river bed
Rock Hopping
One Step, Then Another
the last step taken
on this journey
is the first step of the next
Chiaroscuro
the landscape exhales
as color and light
crack open the darkness
The Spirit Moves
between shimmer and shine
the transcendental curve
of the heron
Come Sit
watch the slant of light
tilt us
towards autumn
Morning Glory
a sunrise of sorts
awash in colors and
offering light like a new day
Piecework
patchwork of light
on the forest floor
time quilts early autumn
Watching The Whispering
I saw
the soft sound
of marsh grass
The Elements Assistance
lean upon
the dependability
of day
Morning Sun
orb of light
fairy godmother of
mysteries and miracles
Pass Through
the opening itself
an invitation
to step into the light
Deliverance
in the fullness of the sun
the deepest darkness
broken open
Pink Sparkler
starburst of color
created with
captured light
Contained
open
and let
your light shine
Pretty Is As Pretty Does
magnificence incarnate
your humble name
carnation
Not Quite In The Spotlight
sometimes just
to be near the path of light
is light enough
Night Traveler
alone
you wove your way
into the light of a new day
The Bend
up ahead
some light
an encouragement to hope
Technique
sun and wind
paint the landscape
the weather sgrafitto
Even Grey Days Have Their Golden Light
the sun is found
golden and shining
from the ground
Matinee
seedheads star
in a shadow play of summer
produced by winter light
Needles, Leaves, Reeds
the wind weaves
a tapestry
of elements and time
Roads To Winter
in the darkness
and the scarcity
there will also be beauty
In The Sweet
autumn leaves
coated with
honeyed autumn light
The Hurried Hush
autumn days quicken
keeping pace with the meadow’s
movements of light and color
The Gilded Season
autumn’s garden palette
favors purple and peach
enhanced by obliquely slanted light
Dawning
traveling with the morning light
the mountain revealed through the trees
then the pond shrugs off her shawl of pink mist
so tenderly begins this day
Willing
in the garden I begin to learn
how to let difficulties pass
like shadows across a petals
Sun Catcher Dream Catcher
dahlia’s petaled hoop
filtering light from dark
dreams from daymares
Morning Dew
I can almost see time
accumulating
in the blades of grass
