The Center Holds

shadows play
on the river of leaves
stillness inside movement

beneath it
there is
plenty

Abstract Of Rickrack

zig zagging leaves
circle
upon themselves

cathedral windows
on the ground
nature is my church

One Way To Mark Your Place In Time

with one step
we are on the other side
and a new year begins

Walk With A Friend

to be thought of
by an animal
the best of communions

Beginnings

tiny pine
sets sights
on the sky

This From That

from the fallen oak
grew
a moss mountain

Turbulence

despite
wind and current
we travel together

Graceful Exit

in leaving
the leaving of self
behind

Frosting

these leaves
sugared
with cold

Clarity

everything intensified
as edges and differences
make themselves known

The Wondrous Wind

transforming
leaves into light
before winter’s good night

Reading Signs

goodbye
was written
in morse code

Winter Outerwear

the forest
wears a brocade cape
of leaves and fruit and vines

Still Green

in the morning sun
turning
frost into dew

Will You Find Your Way To Being A Butterfly

living inside
nourished with parsley
tended by humans

Primary, Secondary And Then

autumn brings
a tertiary rainbow
pink, yellow, orange

Treat

glowing
like a jack’o lantern
lit from within

A Marriage Of Maple And Birch

distinct
and yet
together
