Renewal

autumn’s intensity
of color and light
renews my spirit

Cardinal

sighting you
brings delight
as deep as your color

Alighted Illumination

one leaf only
chosen
by the light

Seen From Above

heaven’s clouds recognize
the tiny speck
as the church’s steeple

Two Came Together

summertime visit
from dear friends
long departed

Granite Face

head cocked
piercing eye
shy smile

No Longer A Stranger

in nature found
a reacquaintance
with self

Tree Spirit

all seeing
knot hole eye
mouth of the missing branch

Taking It In

sunning yourself
on the fencepost
spirit in light

Ghost Tree

times’s skeleton
a spirit
amidst mist

Small White Butterfly

spirit
of a dear friend
visiting again

Wild Flowers With Fence

the spot where
spirit meets
with daily life

Written By The Garden

a poem
made of
space

Helene

garden’s goddess
overseeing beauty
from beyond

No Need To Ask

no longer here
yet everywhere
you are not forgotten

The Maple’s Ghost

floated by
gracefully entering
the next dimension

The Spirit’s Residence

woods
between the trees
sanctuary

Cheered On

the faltering spirit
finds footing and support
in the solace of the garden

Ma Donna

Madonna appeared
in a cairn of stones
offering prayer and blessing

Four Fields

the spirit farmer’s
ephemeral harvest
is autumn light
