during shorter days
amidst longer shadows
we ready for winter
Magnificence
I gloried
in the maple
taking her color as my strength
Feeling Time Pass By In The Breeze
the gilded woods
a golden day
if only it could stay
End Of Season
the swimming hole
so cold now
only water frolics
Attending Service
worship
in the woods
beauty is the pew
Provisions
as autumn’s color departs
we store its memory
for winter sustenance
The Birch Glittering
like being lifted
into heaven
living in so much beauty
Autumn’s Calm
the landscape
soothed
by a gentle rain
Through
finally seen
the exit
from darkness
The Dear Nearness Of The Wilderness
miles of mountains
populated only by trees
as it should be
Watercolored World
the edges
between everything
dissolving
Clustered
crabapple
congregants
commune
Apparition
veiled in a silken web
the ghost appears
before the death
Two Chairs On The Path
together we sit
and wait for fall’s
parade of color
Too Soon To Say Goodbye
like summer
we linger
by the fencepost
Alighted Illumination
one leaf only
chosen
by the light
Alone With Everything
down the soft pine needle path
amidst the tall tall trees
the breeze accompanies me
In The Enormous Woods There Perches A Tiny Soul
feathered emerald
the size
of a birch leaf
Thunderstorm
gathering
blue into black
in she moves
Skipper
stay close
there are dangers
in the delicious garden
Indian Paintbrush’ed
like watercolors
prairie fire bleeds color
across the landscape
Foxs’ Wedding
rain in sunlight
bright meadow flowers
before the dark woods
In The Flowering Of Trees
the world
divine
blossom time
Dandelion Road
not yet fully formed
our hopes and wishes
accompany us
Each Leaf In Its Own Time
the landscape
fills
with color
Trust
enter the mystery
of today’s
exquisite unknown
Flowering Blue Sky
a petaled
hallelujah
exalting sunny days
Imagined Into Being
a green day dream
the whispering of leaf buds
the laughter of leaves
Bursting Forth
life force
an explosion
of joy
Amen
gratitude
for the gifts
of another day
