there is still enough warmth in the sun
to want to rock on the porch a bit
Slumber
Seeds rest in husk beds
dreaming
of their spring morning.
Shadow Lands
light and dark
waltz across
the hilltops
Repossession
The woods reclaim the old barn
returning her lumber to the earth.
Possibilities
The still green meadow
holds out the possibility
of an Indian Summer.
Quilted Sky
Tucked under a blanket of clouds
the river valley rests.
Deer Place
Entirety
rain drops into the pond
ripples merge
into the whole.
Vantage Point
Nap Time
Late afternoon
the youngest ones
slumber on soft grass
Magic Carpet
There is still time.
Come sit on the soft lush green.
Let the world embrace you.
Each blade of grass grows just for you.
Three Teepees
Ruffles
One of the first appearances of autumn’s finery
is the ruffled fungi in pumpkin and cream.
Gifts
Nature presents her complexities to the observant eye
and her mysteries to the open heart.
Change
Corn tassels have browned
mist ushers in the morning
plants and weather are our time keepers.
Fourth Leaf
From the decay of the birch
emerges clover and moss;
an unexpected enchantment.
