this garden
once ablaze in color
finally dressed for fall
now stands stark naked
suffering the ravages of winter
holding fast

This Holly Plant lives just outside my door.
A season in turmoil. The circle gets smaller. Loved ones pass on leaving us behind to sort out the ravages of being. Such loss is soothed only by a long spring. But wounds remain so, as we find a way to live with them.
we are left standing
as december roars on through
this season of life
a little more worn, rumpled
but for this, we are grateful

highs and lows
on the road to spring –
beginings
…………………
buds hold fast
in turbulent wind
springs promise
………………….
winter browns
slowly loose there grip
spring takes hold

under blue gray skies
as twilight takes its leave
and day tumbles into night
a crow flies across a sliver of a moon –
I am lost in thoughts of you…
and our moon gazing nights

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

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

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