fiery autumn leaves
don’t warm my extremities,
but do warm my heart

Autumn Leaves
I’m walking the Mesabi Trail;
up here, the hardwoods prevail.
Some maples are only now turning,
Though most of them look like they’re burning!

How Everything Got Here
Once upon a time, there was nothing.
I mean, there was nothing but nothing.
In fact, there was so much nothing,
That that fact became something,
And once there was something,
It quickly exploded into everything.

change of clouds
all summer, the clouds had their fun,
but now there is much to be done;
in autumn, they race
at a feverish pace
past the featureless face of the sun.

walk with me
come on now and walk with me
i’ll show to you the orangest tree
and forest friends, so wild and free–
these are things you gotta see!

pretty in pink (shadorma)
unhappy
that the autumn brings
no colors
to the pines,
mother nature sometimes strings
them up in pink vines

shot of the night 9/16/25
from out here in the woods,
the auroras are breathtaking
as they shimmer and dance
over the silent, stately pines.
heaven seems so close.

Sunday Thoughts 9/14
What does the spider know of beauty?
When soft morning light spills over
The horizon and illuminates his
Intricate, dew-laden construction,
Is he even able to perceive
The beauty of his creation?
Likewise, when we scurry about
In our “ordinary” human lives,
Are we creating something
Beautiful that we can’t perceive,
But is, perhaps, on full display
To any being of a higher order?

recast
some think they’re blessed
while you are cursed–
that they’re the best
while you’re the worst,
but blessed and cursed
will be recast
when last is first
and first is last.
