Departing Summer

departing summer
cool days are staying longer
leaves are on notice

Inspired by:

a shriveled leaf
still hanging on
to summer’s end

end of summer
beyond the garden gate
mist turning to rain

end of summer
in the cool morning air
at the open door

end of summer
tall and bright in the fields
of thistle

summer passing
the path to the beach
where no one goes

(C) Jane Reichhold

abandoned beach
finally I can find peace
summer has gone

Retreat

a welcome retreat –
only sounds rustle of leaves
and voices from pages

closing the garden
no one to disturb my thoughts –

Stones

blue river stone
smooth beneath my fingers
a calming effect

 Inspired by:

words of god
spoken softly by
river stones

moonset
where the water was
a white stone

beach nap
the afternoon covers me
with stone shadow
