pressed impressions of
folioles and rose petals
between leather-bound
leaves of pulpy cellulose,
harvested fronds from the fall
fading memories
once fragrant, verdant, now parched
crumbling to dust

‘…stars, grown old
In dancing silver-sandalled on the sea,
Sing in their high and lonely melody.’ -W.B.Yeats
cool nor-eastern zephyr whispers
evening vespers
autumn drifting
seasons shifting
leaves of yellow, orange and red
settle in beds
windswept and tossed
wilted by frost
learning the art of letting go
the ebb and flow
arrested breath
beautiful death

it’s raining…clouds
deep, dark, wet
between stone
and sky
breath of life, thick,
sweet, moist air,
beautiful wild blossoms
withering, leave traces
of eden on the breeze

Magnetic Poetry – Nature Kit
grass long
and tall
dances in the
delicious breeze
breath of god
softly flowing
the red breast trudges
through the garden
beneath the blue, but
the worms are
hiding…it’s
too cool
in purple
always fight for what
is good and remember,
but for your light
some never come to
hope, only seeing the
dark night of the soul
beneath every garden
roots and seeds
winter in the
darkness…
a time to rest and
a time to blossom

pearlescent skin
translucent, placid surface
misty lake at dawn
