A Leaf

A single leaf hangs,
Holding on against the wind.
The last of autumn.

Wind-swept

Sleepless autumn nights.
Gates swinging in the windstorm
Bring back memories.

Skeletons

Skeletons standing,
Leaves gathered around their feet.
Waiting for new life.

Floating Mountains

Mountains floating high.
Gentle early morning mist
Skims the peaceful lake.

Autumn Sands

One set of footprints,
At the end a lonely man.
Such is autumn sand.

October

Low October sun,
Long shadows stretch across fields
A time for thinking.
