colors overlay – a tapestry
woven high above
the river’s bend
nature’s palette
turning point
late summer textures
twine with cooler days…the nights
of open windows
tides
Stillness returns –
the moon rises.
Moist air laces with night sounds
as nature slips into
the currents of sleep.
firefly
summers heat waning
sapphire blue on velvet sky
bare feet in deep grass
respite
moist air of summer
wings grown weary from travels
rest among cool greens
contradictions
sharp edges, smooth blue
golden leaves against
complementary hue
velvet
night brushes
soft strokes among the flowers –
their faces to the moon
stilled
Lengthening shadows
pair with sheltering branches –
the hush of a hawk.
evening
Swaying in the breeze,
translucent petals, backlit
fired to radiance.
the way
Follow cloud reflections
around the curve to overarching trees…
and on back to where herons fly,
ranging bright in a cobalt sky.
