In the moment of the Eye, when the storm catches its breath - when the air becomes as still and settled as death – we wander remains of tree limbs and pine cones, the power of the unknown more present than not, then head for shelter as the wind kicks in and tightens its knot

In the warm daylight, the ladybugs sneak inside the windowpane gaps

Now merely thin husks of what was once beautiful, the day-lilies dream

Great Blue Heron: Standing silently or flying high - slow wing beats, its head hunched back

blackout poem for #writeout

Crinkled, like paper; the edges of a small leaf, disintegrating

White clouds, whispering secrets to the distant sky like signals in smoke

Tree-limb picture frame, like arms reaching for the stars; a focused beauty

An ant crawls, pauses; balanced dancer in the wind on a stage of grass

Young poets, quiet writers pondering nature on a notebook page

A spark beneath the brittle soil, a seed

A ‘New Day’?

An autumn warm spell;

No wonder -

the Earth is off balance

(and) early warnings

disrupt the rhythm:

A landscape symposium

Some rivers meander - pushing, pulling, moving, pausing for a moment for a swallow of land, then: they continue on, traveling towards the sea

Sit beneath the Maple tree, where a soft wind blows its fabric, free;

One then another then another then another

until the dress you wear is stitched from a pattern of Autumn leaves
