Autumn leaves turning
Reflections fall into stream
Colors drift away.
Autumn leaves turning
Reflections fall into stream
Colors drift away.
Water falls pure white
Edged by brilliant colored leaves
Blue skies dance in waves.
Creeping green shadows
Trees advance up rocky peaks
Filling ancient folds.
Morning glory pool
Faded from deep flower blue
To a leafy green.
Coiling blue river
Snakes through blazing fall tendrils
Spreading slow fire.
Inside seething earth
Colors rise to paint thin crust
Catch each passing cloud.
Ancient eyes staring
Chill ghosts of past prairies caught
Between earth and sky.
Below scudding clouds
Granite boulder statues float
Lapped by azure lake.
