Colors
sunset on the lake
threading my wet fingers through
tangerine waters
–
salmon skies-
october morning
the hills ablaze
Category Archives: Forest
Reflection
a golden eagle-
soaring as the sun sinks on
a cumbrian lake
–
reflections-
autumn leaves
in the water
Fog
evergreen hillsides
barely clothed in morning mist
slowly disrobing
–
splitting wood-
the morning haze
burns away
Solitude
alone with my thoughts
in the distance barren trees
fade into the mist
–
before sunrise-
my mug of tea
gently steaming
Death
a mournful windsong
whispering past long dead oaks-
the forest’s lament
–
graveside rain-
one last leaf
taken by the wind
History
continuity-
ancient traditions upheld
for generations
–
lichens on stone-
the huron pine
adds another ring
Fire
the burning forests-
gaia’s tears turn to embers
borne off by the wind
–
peals of thunder-
rain falling
on a wild fire
Black
ebony leaves strewn
across an indigo sky
fading out to black
–
moonless-
the warm glow
of a distant fire
Azrael
wandering the earth
easing pain and suffering
collecting last breaths
–
a copse of trees-
bones
amid the litter
Gaia
scrub trees, weeds and vines
she reasserts her claim on
the urban landscape
–
pottery shards-
new growth rooted
in broken asphalt
