Asters are ushering

Asters are ushering

There is more new to know

Autumn not an ending

Bulbs needing winter snow

Longing is lingering

Wanting to set root

Friends like a spring flower

Boasting a brand new shoot

So much without answers

So much without answers

The question marks are hooks

We must live with darkness

No science, art or books

In the sun two turtles

Photographing couple

Catch and release fisher

Two men with gray stubble 

There was the hope and not

There was the hope and not

Dreams derailed and plans set

A year in less of me

Neither plans nor dreams met

Circumstance and just cause

Forgiveness a forget

Sad expectation to

Perform without a net

Escaping in real time

Escaping in real time

Flowering just a day

No way of returning

No tidal or a stay

No profuse or flourish 

Not fingerprint or stamp

Even at the onset

The entrance exit ramp

An unusual flower

An unusual flower

Not exotic, not plain

A drifter from some hard

Climate or far terrain

Too rare for cutting and

Too risky to locate

Will it be here next year

Or in this spot stagnate

The orange held too long

The orange held too long

The pebble now cue ball

The feeling of the crags

Not happening at all

The memories are clouds

That pass without valleys

And without mountain peaks

There’s no dilly-dallies

Our time is limited

Our time is limited 

Enjoy this pear with me

Let our dreams carry us

No further than our see

We can tidy corners

And we can tend to hearts

Hollyhocks bloom this year

And we have daisy starts
