before most creatures awake,
Knox and I take our
first walk – a quiet start to

saunter along enjoying
the day, each in our own way.

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.

to yield to fall, the sky sheds

the last several days raining
on Summer’s parade.

Signs and Signals
In the drizzling rain
a single gold leaf falls.
Creatures begin to whisper
among themselves about

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