An Evening Walk Cut Short

Autumn sky glows yellow against blue hue sky;
turns windy, rainy a long languorous day.
Swirls of fresh intoxicating aria.

midmorning showers 
rootless lingering rainbow~
scent of petrichor

Outdoors allure afresh, stunning once again.
Sun kissed fragrant richer fruitful harvest fields.
Woods once rich with leaves fall round and round with wings.

quenching nature's thirst
harmonious double arch~
whole world auspicious

An evening walk to the pond a calming sense; 
near the bank we saw large bear paws sunk deeply
into the mud, quietly cutting our walk short.

black bear foraging
spawning fish bantering play~
heart beats in slumber
