Shadow Climbs the Tree





School bus rushes past;
Inside, children warm and snug;
Outside, cold sun shines.

Two large moving vans
Go up my neighbor's driveway--
A funny mistake.












Sun's morning glow
Illuminates even weeds.
Some puddles are ice.

Stream is a torrent,
Roaring with two day's rainfall;
Cold shadows on road.












Across magic lawn
Mirrored puddles have emerged;
New stream runs by road.

Shadow climbs the tree
Bringing darkness from the ground,
Stopped short by the sun.









Below the surface
Leaves lie in the new made pond;
Streams flow from tree roots.








Rivulet near road
Flows swift and noisily down
Like it has purpose.
