“autumn…”
autumn
the last
leaf falls
and then
another
“autumn…”
autumn
seeing it
for what
it is
“autumn forest…”
autumn forest
and beyond
all there is
“autumn rain…”
autumn rain
sound of drops
still in the air
“an autumn leaf…”
an autumn leaf
in my mailbox
some message
“ awaiting…”
awaiting
the dusk
the snow
lingers
still winter
“awash with…”
awash with
the sound
of waves
waterfront
“ Bach…”
Bach
by the pond
frogs wait
for the cue
“back and forth…”
back and forth
on a forest floor
restless shadows
“balance…”
balance
nightfall
moonrise
“bare branches…”
bare branches
few leaves
free to share
dark skies
with stars
“Beethoven…”
Beethoven
in the storm
thunderclap
steps in
for timpani
“between stars…”
between stars
and beyond
looks the same
“ beyond…”
beyond
the silence
beyond
still silence
“a bird…”
a bird
a tree
sharing
solitude
“birds in the sky…”
birds in the sky
never lost
in thought
“birdsong…”
birdsong
leaving
no echo
“bitter cold…”
bitter cold
a sentinel
for a pine
an old raven
“ bizarre…”
bizarre
when up close
fire in
the fog
“ bonfire…”
bonfire
in its midst
a shape of
something
“both black…”
both black
and white
the snow
in the dark
“a breeze…”
a breeze
a breath
a breadth
dreaming
of a beach
“briefly…”
briefly
before sunrise
silence
“bright sun…”
bright sun
city shadows
almost dark
“brightest of all…”
brightest of all
on a forest floor
a beer can
“budding flower…”
budding flower
without a thought
sweet fragrance
“burning leaves…”
burning leaves
smell of autumn
on my clothes
“bus stop…”
bus stop
rainstorm
arrives first
