You're there, so close
I'm reaching

First Snow
She fell to Earth, coating the land with a soft hush

Autumn's Evergreen
Autumn is when you left

Feet pounding on leaf scattered trails

In the fall,
The geese fly south.
As October wind blows cold, they flap their wings, persistent in their steady V.

Now is a tree
Now is a tree,
a place that is made of history.
Feel with your fingers
for lines etched in the bark,
the future is there
