masks on

a drive from church

with a friend



wool hat

bright red in the

emptying woods



leashed labrador

strains for passerby

connection



three miles an hour

learning to live life

with God



autumn blue

a jay squawks

stridently

 a ballad

childhood joy

sings



dog crate

getting ready for

her first puppy



shadows dancing

goldenrod under the weight

of a chickadee



a long walk

tears surface

history



parachute kite

surfer skimming over

the water

 turkey vulture

circling the fishing

harbour



fallen leaves

overlooking a ravine

with thanksgiving



acorns

scattered along the path

chipmunks gathering



burning bush

the brilliant red

of autumn



bloom

where you're planted

wild asters

 red-tailed hawk

hunting the squirrel scrambling

around the tree



goldenrod

browning along

the edges



hiking shoes

caked with mud from

deep in the woods



childhood guitar

returns after time with

another girl



sand 

firm by the pounding

waves

my story

an echo in church

singing praise



yellow leaf

drifts through the open

car window



eating dinner

crosslegged by the screendoor

listening to crickets



an umbrella

tucked in a book bag in case

the grey clouds darken



chickadee

disarming the

burrs
