a bluing sky
intensifies
the turning of the trees
Tag: fall foliage
Residence
fall resides
on the far side
of the fence
Autumn’s Paint
colors run
in the wild
wet woods
Sensei
master teacher
of color
Japanese maple
Goddess
golden tresses
halo of light
gracing us
Watercolor
the ripple of birch
a wash of maple, ash and pine
soft autumn seen
Falling
leaves flight
delivers them
back to their roots
Blaze
maple
sends up
a final flare of color
Color is the Light
orange and purple dawn
honored by the morning moon
color is the light of autumn’s days
Thirst
edges drink the colors
of weather and time
which paint the leaves
Color Divulged
morning fog rolls out
revealing the days
new colors
Fortification
the landscape floods with color
and soaks into our every cell
fortifying us for winter’s long monochrome
