Winter comes early

Frosting autumn’s final show

Trees wake with surprise

Gate to secret world

Forest seen in distant dream

Blurred in memory

Moon dangles like fruit

Poised over sunset mountain

Ripening to night

Trees shed weight of leaves

Wind tears off the final few

Branches bared to sky

Frost caught in branches

Up where mountains grasp at sky

Collecting treasures

This must be the path

My sister walked on ahead-

Search for her in sky

Colors bud in sky

Mountains greet a new morning

Stretch to horizon

Nature surprises

Endless shifting tapestry

Every day new gifts

Tree shatters the sun

Shards of broken light stream through

Lattice of branches

Splash of pure delight

Fountain holds summer at bay-

Cold water erupt
