with the lilt
of a butterfly
falling leaf
fulfilling the arc of life –
chasing immortality

first chirps of twilight
as day lingers into night –
spring rounds the corner

Intricacies of Spring
the snow covered field of yesterday
is now a patchwork of grass
and barely there snow
now being tended to
by a meandering wave of returning geese –
the intricacies of spring

Grace
autumn slips away
marred by lush flights of fancy
with no path to grace

Crippling Gray
lay me down to heal
till this crippling gray stills –
a regard for spring
sparks first tweet from window sills
no more will this sting endure

everything in time

frolick here and there
free at last

Maple
the tall maple is a shimmering yellow
the deep crunch beneath my feet
sounds mournful still
its twin to the left
was being gnawed at by rot
and had to be removed
since then I haven’t had the heart
to poach its sticky syrup
I will never forget the gasp escaping the earth
as huge sections of the trunk was felled
the house shook
