Bright fire covers ground
An autumn song writ by trees
That will fade to snow

10/26/2022 – winter’s pause
As all slows
And cools
I wonder that time presses on
Even as we pause
Waiting
For a day we may not see
10/25/2022 – atop the hill
I sometimes stay atop the hill
Ne’er peering past its crest
10/24/2022 – a haiku
Hold me by the fire
Help me burn it all away
Let us burn yet more
10/22/2022 – their heart’s desire
I watched as boughs of pine and fir
Sank deep beneath the snow
Nor man nor beast would dare to stir
Or o’er the cold ground go
Yet like spirits of earth and fire
The pups would bound and play
Out in the cold, their heart’s desire
Amidst the deadness lay
10/21/2022 – a haiku
I long for warm sands
Coastal creatures chittering
To breathe salt-tinged air
10/20/2022 – grow and grow
The days grow short
The air, cool
And ‘neath the starless skies I marvel
That as all dies
The shadows grow and grow
10/19/2022 – from each wound
I walk unbroken ‘neath the moon’s bright gaze
Though not without the scars I’ve often earned
For with a lifted chin I’ve faced my days
And from each wound such wisdom have I learned
10/18/2022 – a haiku
Onward may we go
Toward that bright horizon
Just us and the stars
10/17/2022 – all the sweeter
When it has been a little while
Since last I felt your hand in mine
Heard your heart beat
Saw the deepness of your eyes
I want for it all the more
And when I feel it
Hear it
See it
It is all the sweeter
For that little while
