Slowly rising mist
sways gently in the sun just
as the day’s begun.
Let’s join with mist and sun in
bringing gentleness and light.

In the drizzling rain
a single gold leaf falls.
Creatures begin to whisper
among themselves about
the approach of fall.

Morning Vigil
Two tiny fawns nibble
on fallen bird seed
while Mama stands watch
and a small rabbit
looks on from afar.

A Matter of Priorities
So busy were they
establishing primacy,
those mourning doves failed to eat.

At This Very Moment
September sunlight
strokes the pond, reminding us
to treasure its warmth
and light especially when
the times appear cold and bleak.

Home Within A Home
Mama rabbit found
a safe place for her babies
beneath our side porch.
Every now and then, they come
hopping out much to her dismay.

Someday
Reluctant to leave,
the moon lingers as the sun
slowly starts to rise.
