Opening Act

Dec28

Morning sun

brings a sparkle

to trees and ground.

May it also light

a spark in me.

On High

Dec2

Evening sky,

streaked with pink,

bids the sun goodbye,

greets the moon,

waits for the stars’ passing wink.

Leavetaking

Dec1

One brown leaf remains.

Except for that the tree is bare.

Leaving home, it seems,

can be hard even for

dry and weathered leaves.

That Sparkle

Nov29

Beneath a blue sky,

fields, still green, sparkle

 in the morning sun.

I wouldn’t mind

sparkling too.

Grey Peace

Nov27

Light rain falls,

a few birds call,

damp leaves whisper

beneath my feet…

grey peace.

Ah, That Knock Again

Nov25

Ah, that knock again…

it’s weariness 

seeking refuge,

a quiet place

to lay its head.

Startled By Starlings

Nov22

It seems I live beneath

an avian thoroughfare.

Birds can get noisy, 

but unlike us, 

they don’t have crashes.

Light Bringers

Nov20

A small sighting

warmed my day –

a dandelion shining

among fallen leaves.

Life persists amidst decay.

Fullness

Nov5

Through the grey morning mist

and the lingering smell of

fall decay, we walk,

taking note, too, of

the gold along the way.

Come

Oct22

The golden silence

of autumn trees 

on a breezeless day

invites us to take

refuge in their leaves.
