Seasonal waters
It is the season. /
I drink from the mouth of death /
to quench my parched bones. /
Though I shall never be done /
for death now flows forth from me.

Caress
Sky touches nothing /
yet still caresses the Earth’s /
all-embracing beauty.

Morning fog
Sun wears morning fog, /
peeks from behind damp fall trees. /
Light and thoughts refract.

Green eye
The green eye of fall /

Moments
Moments are time’s stones. /
Some build bridges to the heart. /
