the sky and the river
together holding
onto the clouds
Above Below
Abstraction Of Leaving
more precious
as parts
depart
The Spirit Moves
between shimmer and shine
the transcendental curve
of the heron
Revelation
backwards glance
at the golden yellow goddess
revealed her magenta majesty
Dawdling Days
the calendar says October
but it is still summer
in the side yard
Reach
one elegant arm
extending itself
to seed tomorrow
A Tailored Day
below pinking-shear leaves
the wind zippering
across the water’s surface
Open To Change
there goes autumn
passing by
the back door
Stopping By The Marigolds
cooling down
in the petal shade
of the mid-day sun
Come Sit
watch the slant of light
tilt us
towards autumn
Inconspicuousness
ordinary leaf
bland rock
that hops
Small White Goat
having cleared the field
of thistle and thorn
a full belly-ed rest
Morning Glory
a sunrise of sorts
awash in colors and
offering light like a new day
A Glimmering Caught My Eye
the shimmer
in the shadows
reveals a tiny green rocket
Autumn Light Elucidated
red maple
leaves blazing
lightening in their veins
Round Bales
the hay harvest
rolling in
like a weather front
Diamond Dew
fleeting brilliance
these jewels
of water and sunlight
September Gifts
sustenance for
southern journeys
the sunflower fence in bloom
Mousseron Magic
bright pops of color
or carefully camouflaged
fungi fantasia
Preparation For Fall
meadow, mountains, sky
intensify their colors
as shadows grow deeper
Universe of Seeds
tiny adventurous time travelers
dug in, in flight or hitching a ride
protectors of the ecosystem
Piecework
patchwork of light
on the forest floor
time quilts early autumn
Grasshopper’s Side-eye
hey lady
yeah you in the straw hat
who you lookin’ at?
Thunderhead
Zeus at work
stirring up the sky
billowing the blue
Stegosaurus
front yard dinosaur
mushroom scutes
on the old oak
White Bugle
it’s taps for summer
as blooms sound
the approach of fall
Watching The Whispering
I saw
the soft sound
of marsh grass
Temple
spires of the old tree
the mossy sacred stump
holy ground
Weathered Boards
old barn
heart chamber
of the farm
Fishing
watching the heron
a lesson
in patience
