the landscape yawns
winter’s breath
rises from the mountains
After The Storm
tiniest
glow of light
begins a whole new day
Compression
density of time
everything craving light
as days shorten
Becoming One Another
the icing pond
receiving rain
so many ways to be
Thirtieth Day
the sun
sets on November
painting gratitude on the sky
The Brook
still running
before cold takes hold
and water stills
Fall’s Finish Line
tractor race
against
the elements
Weathered
old homestead
holding the place
for spring
The Four Fields
those two couples
our friendship weathers
seasons and years
Suspension
first flurry
winter whispers
the world is hushed
Between
dark shadows
mountain’s first snow
last days of fall
Proportioned by Pines
up, up, up
the tall, tall pines
showing me my true proportion
Warm Memory To Store For Winter
a Saturday landscape
the playful breeze
and laughing leaves
Drying Light
sunlight pinned
to the clothesline
by dew drops
Sweetness
maple lace
almost sweeter
than syrup
The Expansion of Color
white birch
reflecting
fall’s gloriousness
Fall’s Reflection
water colored
by fall’s display
changing by the day
Through
lone birch
shone the way
through dark woods
Maple on Birch
at meadow’s edge
maple turns
summer’s page
Magic Rays
the sky’s
crayons
coloring the trees
The Trees Abstracted
water offers
a reflective reminder
of life’s fragile fluidity
Time Out
solitary chair
a private perch
for perspective making
Humming Summer’s Tune
sound signals
a brief
appearance
Kaleidoscope
ever changing
light through leaves
beauty’s infinity
Freedom
deep green
afternoon
light blue canoe
Expressionism
all worldly
passions painted
by the sky
Lengthening Green
the lawn
stretches out
like summer before us
Deific
and the light
from high, so holy
graced every thing
Quietude
eternal motion
of the river
invites tranquility
Eden
in this paradise
of new colors
apples are still flowers
