marriage – Leaf & Twig

A Marriage Of Maple And Birch

distinct
and yet
together

house and barns
married the sky
to its homeland

hydrangea is the bouquet
at the marriage of
summer and fall

during their stroll
around the melt pond
the final word is hers
it is still too early for nesting

stonecrop on rock
the marriage of time
eternal and fleeting

the wind courted snow
and at ten past two
shadow married light

the roof is meadow of moss
a common law marriage
of structure and elements

Mist marries
the mountain
to the lake.

Betrothed to each other and the earth
fairies place their wedding rings
on flower pillows side by side
during the nuptials.

The post marries the beam
after a courtship of hand hewing and attention to detail
that seats them perfectly together
forever supporting one another.
