in the bedlam of branches
some center emerges
the circle where beginnings and endings meet
Reliance
nuance is sly
relying upon
hard edges
La Luna
the night
left behind
half of the moon
Glory, Glory, Glory
a frozen star
a gift of light
a glimpse of the divine
Edges
in the places
where we meet
we find who we are
Peacefully
everything found
its perfect place
to be
Entry to the Realm of Spirits
hollowed through
passage to
the other side
What Begins At The End
a decomposing stump
the palette
for green construction
Scripture
holy writ
the leaf stem
records woodland days
Like to Like
soft as snow
feathered reeds
where winter will rest
Declaration
every edge
announced itself
declaring place in space
Beauty Berry
as the landscape mutes
and colors recede
one last glory
Given
bouquet
of leaves
autumn’s offering
Generosity
before she falls
peony finishes the season
by blooming her leaves
Portent
putting the garden to bed
a startling glimpse of spring
the foreshadowing anemone
The Great Pumpkin
emanating the light of the moon
no need for a knife to free its face
its spirit rises from the shape
The Ascetic
a monk of a moth
in birch bark robes
prostrate in prayer
Shucked Ruby
The Taste Of Color
plum purple
maple leaf
autumn’s fruit
Tropical Darling
how is it
you bloom in October
in zone 4b?
Tour De Force
every molecule conspired
rendering the common rock
into a masterpiece
Flickering
fairy candle
lights the way
into autumn’s darkening days
Speaking in Colors
conversing
with the maple
autumn confidences
Unfolding
news beauty unfolds
as time and growth
reveals and renews
Exhibit
an abstract installation
adorned the old oak tree
the mushroom’s artistry
Encountered
emerald green
seldom seen
frog king
Trilogy
three
installments of
the pumpkin’s tale
Blaze
basking in
the autumn sun
colorful blaze of dahlia days
Wedded
stonecrop on rock
the marriage of time
eternal and fleeting
See Sedum
shaboom
she blooms
succinct and succulent
