A gray beginning
this day, but moon-lit night tells
a different story.

A gray beginning
this day, but moon-lit night tells
a different story.
JDG
Japanese Maple,
aflame with light, announces
its own Thanksgiving.
JDG
Wind rustles among
red and golden leaves: Autumn’s
moving melody.
JDG
The ground graciously
receives all the fallen leaves
and makes no protest.
JDG
Golden surprises
on a gray, foggy morning –
look closely; they’re there.
JDG
Setting sun signals
Its slow departure while
owl yearns for the moon.
JDG
As those flowers fold
and fade, the sun offers warmth –
a final goodbye.
JDG
A yellowed leaf drifts
to the ground – a soft herald
of autumn’s approach.
JDG
As I come and go
that field of bright sunflowers
smiles back at me.
JDG
No breeze, just a strange,
almost breathless stillness this
hot August morning.
