patterns – leaf and twig

Eyelet River

lacing the surface
cold threading
shore to shore

angel’s wings
invisible vistors
seen

ever changing
light through leaves
beauty’s infinity

herd
of birch gathers
in the zebra woods

blue hosta leaf
lines leading to the start
of the universe

inside
the bloom
symmetry and silence

taking turns with sunshine
grey skies and rain drops
encourage the greening landscape

every molecule conspired
rendering the common rock
into a masterpiece

news beauty unfolds
as time and growth
reveals and renews

the architecture
of a tree
sacred geometry

outside my window
windswept winter
begins her story

the whispers of bullrush
the patterns of the wind
the desert of winter

Casting a pattern like lace
shadows of leaves
embellish the snow.

A transitory garden mosaic
of shadow, leaves and granite veins.

Delicate lines, individual patterns, unique characteristics
these are the traits of spalting,
the mysterious work and beauty of decay.
