Autumn’s Calm

the landscape
soothed
by a gentle rain

Wood Duck Box By The Old Corn Field

the frozen marsh
the fallow field
everything in its time

Frontline

throughout
winter’s long march
positions held for spring

Beside The Dusty Road

a meeting place
for man and nature’s
communion

Weathered

old homestead
holding the place
for spring

Encouragement

stepping stones
in the mossy path
invitation to the woods

Birds At The Box

tending and guarding
the vigilant work
of parenting
