come, come
and feast in the sun
The Feast Tree

there comes
a quiet
from deep within

lingering leaves
a curtain
of light
Briefly
before
the season of snow
the season of shadows

each level
luxuriating
in light

delivers the touch
of grace

holding the inbetween
of seasons

some evenings fall
like the dawning
of a new day

cold highlights
the edge
of everything
Sunshine Splash
water and sunlight
cascading
through the woods
Pergola
rounded
like the mountains
holding us in the valley
In Autumn Light
we begin to see
the definitions
made by absence

in the valley of the Taconics
centuries old pines
are time’s flagstaff

the walk
itself
is the destination
Sunshine
distilled
in the blue sky
embodied by the leaf
Quiet Restoration
just like the mist
morning rises
on the fallow field

turning her face
away from the cold
to shine just one more day

when the slush
begins to float
autumn’s door is closing
All Of Autumn
taking place
in a puddle
on the ground

the oak tree
offered
candy corn
A Spell Is Cast
in autumn light
vision extends
into the forever
Making Space
as leaves exit
a slow reveal
of stature and line
The Pieces Of Perfection Converged
this gorgeous afternoon
time itself
glittered
Solitude
oh to be
tucked away in the woods
where only sunshine can find you
Each Part Relies On The Other
straight
stands the chimney
in the wobbly roofed structure
The Mountain Whispered Orange
this autumn
is a delicate affair
subtle in her hues
The Painter’s Eye
autumn is an impressionist
embuing everything
with the emotion of light
How Autumn Starts
branches
reintroduce themselves
one tiny flare of red
Forest Farolitos
shimmering
on the forest floor
pine luminaries
