offering – Leaf And Twig

I Came Across

a woodland shrine
of birch bark and mushroom
with a fern leaf offering
humble and holy

the faithful offering
of careful thought and tending
for vegetable starts and insects

pink clouds for reassurance
dark clouds for ballast
low lying fog and blue skies ahead

the garden’s rose bouquet
holding and offering the blooms of
yesterday, today and tomorrow

the yellow woods
leaves offer up
the last of their light

the birch in worship
waving her prayer flags
for us

bouquet
of leaves
autumn’s offering

every petal
a spectacle
and petition of beauty

stone memories
held in place
by grace

steadfast as bricks
the crabapples
offer color
