Leaves fall and scatter
softly cover the Earth's bed
with Winter's warm quilt
softly cover the Earth's bed

Leaves drift and scatter
at the mercy of the wind
Autumn's ghosts of Spring
at the mercy of the wind
Autumn's ghosts of Spring
Thin sliver of moon
hangs askew in the darkness
of an Autumn sky
hangs askew in the darkness
of an Autumn sky
the impatient sun
rising earlier each day
gladdens dawn's birdsong
rising earlier each day
gladdens dawn's birdsong
Birds sing in mornings,
a lively chatter at dawn.
I breathe in the day.
a lively chatter at dawn.
I breathe in the day.
under trees the air
thick and sweet with blossom scent
bumble bees frighten
thick and sweet with blossom scent
bumble bees frighten
halo set ablaze
up in the sky-black moon hides
annular eclipse
up in the sky-black moon hides
annular eclipse
Young Weeping Willow
Cascades just over the Earth
Shimmers, Mystical
Cascades just over the Earth
Shimmers, Mystical
Mirrored through water
Cold brown stones underneath me
A red leaf floats by.
Cold brown stones underneath me
A red leaf floats by.
in line or no line
adding a touch of wind gusts
without a life link
adding a touch of wind gusts
without a life link
Mist fills the valley,
billows up, obscures the hills.
Droplets coat the leaves.
billows up, obscures the hills.
Droplets coat the leaves.
Glowing orb above
Fierce and fiery ablaze
Burns and sears the earth
Fierce and fiery ablaze
Burns and sears the earth
Away we fly now
Through starlit skies above us
To visit the moon
Through starlit skies above us
To visit the moon
Dandelion spores
paraglide the gust of wind
to prospective homes.
paraglide the gust of wind
to prospective homes.
maple leaves shiver
waning half moon suspended
slow vanishing act
waning half moon suspended
slow vanishing act
legs sway lazy arcs
toes launch lunar light adrift
drowsy midnight lake
toes launch lunar light adrift
drowsy midnight lake
In summer's delight,
Sky's old quarrels with Earth fade
into warm embrace
Sky's old quarrels with Earth fade
into warm embrace
If only the wind
would catch me and turn this fall
into it's embrace
would catch me and turn this fall
into it's embrace
move into the wind
sprint back if you can not see
the red running board
sprint back if you can not see
the red running board
dazzling lights in sky
Jupiter outshines them all
planetary pride
Jupiter outshines them all
planetary pride
rain on rusted tin
tapping a message to me
a day lost in thought
tapping a message to me
a day lost in thought
Oh shimering moon
How wonderful you so are
Lighting my dark path
How wonderful you so are
Lighting my dark path
the black butterflies
startled, they vacate their trees-
blocking the sunlight
startled, they vacate their trees-
blocking the sunlight
restless nights, jade lit
autumn winds blow tattered cloud
across moon spirit
autumn winds blow tattered cloud
across moon spirit
frost covers the earth
a lady draped in fine lace
beautiful and cold
a lady draped in fine lace
beautiful and cold
skeletal trees weep
world wrapped in cold bleak winter
? my heart walks alone
world wrapped in cold bleak winter
? my heart walks alone
past dug up turns to
present headache turmoil
best to learn from trees
present headache turmoil
best to learn from trees
Spring's green vibrato
Earth rises from Winter's tomb
symphony of hope
Earth rises from Winter's tomb
symphony of hope
a white sun sets in
the ruined Colosseum,
in buds pink in snow
the ruined Colosseum,
in buds pink in snow
Sun is full of light
but it can become so dark
eclipsing my life
but it can become so dark
eclipsing my life
a flock of pigeons
rain and white feathers mingle
peace waters the world
rain and white feathers mingle
peace waters the world
autumnal winds blow
trees harmoniously sway
choreography
trees harmoniously sway
choreography
Cherry tree blossoms
As death comes around again
She waves gracefully
As death comes around again
She waves gracefully
new leaves crowd old trees
dance together in the sun
soon to fall to earth
dance together in the sun
soon to fall to earth
winter moon in shards
a smell of wine lingering
on the attic floor
a smell of wine lingering
on the attic floor
a mountain, fractious
gravity spilt thunder voice
snow cap undermined
gravity spilt thunder voice
snow cap undermined
