You've come back, dear Moon.

An Autumn Prayer

-------An Autumn Prayer-------

Nightbirds tag along beneath the silver moon.
A shimmer of Winter.
Delicate.

At dawn,
I walk into the woods,
down, along a hill

of red and golden maple,
into mist and amber dreams
where the beeches hold the green.

I do not wish to hope,
nor to be still
while the world counts down the days.

I wish 
to fly with the seasons
so gently and quiet,

as a leaf 
falls.
I pray.

Potential

-------Potential-------

There is a tree inside 
this little seed;
a forest
in a
handful.

Solidarity speaks in rhythms 
of Autumn;
the pieces fall 
and rise 
to meet the whole 
again.

A forest
inside
little 
seed.

Promenade

-------Promenade-------

My desire to be alone
is no match to this starry night.
For I cannot help but feel
that I am dancing
with the whole,
entire
world.

Slowly turning
hand in hand
   in petal
      in claw.
A promenade
around
the sun.
