remains

The Rocks Discern

remains of the dark night’s flurry
a suggestion of
all that occurs unseen

On this Giving Tuesday please consider a donation to Leaf And Twig

stars that never dim
blooms of perpetuity
remains of the azaleas

motionless he remained
his soul already
flown to heaven

nestled between
the snow and log
late fall’s remains

even as life
takes from us
our beauty remains

sun bleached
tree’s remains
the landscape’s carcass

peeking out
the storm’s force and fury
remains in the tilted horizon

felled for the path
their stature remains
monument to growth and change

with all of youth departed
the essence laid bare
great beauty remains

near the heart
remains evidence
of a dark jagged year
that had to be grown around

all that remains
is all that is needed

Immortalized by lightening strike
the tree’s remains are a monument to itself.
