Exit

Yesterday’s rain gives /

way to today’s puffy clouds. /

The sun dries the sky.

“Once”

Once

Once leaves flew above. /

Now, we gather here below; /

death waits on the wind.

Even in death, /

Nature brings diversity /

to its fallen leaves.

“This”

This

This moment passes /

as does the next. Each a leaf /

supple, then brittle.

“Autumn descends”

Autumn descends

Old leaves and lost light, /

days of autumn descend on /

young cat and stone bench.

Voices

I waited for my test. /

Hospital halls held voices. /

None were yours.

“Clouds”

Clouds

Clouds color the sky /

Swirling high above the ground /

Sun rides the dark wires.

“Bachelor’s button”

Bachelor’s button

Bachelor’s button /

sheds its bright summer clothes /

and dons winter’s brown.

“Bright”

Bright

Find summer’s fire /

bright in the red maple leaf /

among the ash brown.
