Fallen colors swirl about
Blue ceiling exposed

Time continues on...

with a crunch

In the forest
We knew
The trees
The people
Of the forest
The damp leafy

And corn flakes found in the remains
With milk underfoot
The cops now look to put
The cereal killer in chains...

moonlight loves the feminine presence prescience
laughter singing prayerful chants of thank you

about the stars in the snow

Dog is in my lap
Here come raccoon

Gives it lots of crap.
Cat is happy

the crisp, cool, dry sensation
and my lungs rejoice at breath

and my eyes rejoice at snow...

leaves crunch underfoot
   every shade from red to gold
        green now forgotten

Shafts of rainbow light
Poke through the surrounding trees,
The snow underfoot,
Just birdsong breaks the silence,
The woods fill me with magic.

Delicate Pink
Brilliant White
For a few days
Promises Summer
Before it falls
Leaving memories 
And hope.
As the Carpet
Of dying blossom
Is trodden underfoot
