pulled by
time and gravity
back to the beginning
Water Falls Along The Brook
Embraced
cradled by oak leaves
the birch branch begins
her return to earth
Behold
each tiny bloom
declaration and celebration
of spring’s return
Return
this gathering gray
will return to us
snow white
Indecision
last night’s rain
returned us to November
and snow begins again
Return
the old metal door
and last year’s oak leaf
returning to the elements
Empty Nest
last year’s nest
holding place
for today’s hopes
Reclamation
browning ferns
shedding leaves
to the earth returned
Iconic Pollinator
so many years
we’ve missed you
how good to see you back
The Usefulness Of Everything
bark, branch and leaf
pay their debt to the earth
with themselves
