Leaf Shadows Tremble
Silhouetted trees--
Portal to the yard beyond;
Bright sun on the lawn.
Hollow rooster's crow
Rings out in the morning light;
Leaf shadows tremble.
Cars with barking dogs;
Bright clumps of purple clover;
Cool breeze on my neck.
How swiftly I change--
Friendly to hostility;
When they don't wave back.
In the dark lush woods
Sun lights up the base of trees
In utter silence.
A metal guide rail
Curls around a sprig of green--
Impromptu bouquet.
Morning dew diamonds
Sparkle on a thousand leaves.
Soon they will be gone.
My first fuzzy bear
Crawls its way along the road.
Has somewhere to go.
