fall

noble warrior
Thisis, solemn and true –
great autumn oak
guardian on the river’s vanishing edge
hear his cry, a plea for esteem

betrayal, reveals
the flower of anger
a true being

Stillness
in fall’s ancient air,
Symmetry

wheel grinds
the autumn windstorm
Beneath her feet

looking out
these big moments –
seem so small

breeze on skin –
peace on surface water
one long summer

gasp out front
white lake line murmurs,
flowers whistle

orphaned leaves dancing
a war in overhead grass
dots the orange sky

winter

unknown purpose -
they search for so long
in a cloudy sky

hummingbird dodges,
coursing standstill raindrops,
please flip switch the spring!
