Autumn In The Meadow

the light
more precious
as darkness nears

The butterfly, cow and flower
conferring beauty
on the day

anomaly
of the blue diamond
a new perfection

these slower times
allow for longer visits
with the flowers

even as life
takes from us
our beauty remains

like being lifted
into heaven
living in so much beauty

behold
the enormity
of tiny things

every new snow
another masterpiece
of wonder

moment
with a flower
highlight of the hour

autumn colors
creep up from behind
nine lives are not enough

gone
are her golden
inflorescences
leaving only loveliness

beneath the snow’s umbrella of white
between the porch and our dear crabapple tree
winter’s divine vista shines

how splendid is the color brown
when it is all the color to be found

steadfast as bricks
the crabapples
offer color
