Each Seasons Pirouette
Beginnings And Ends
drenched in hesitation
as the seasons pirouette
adopting the transition
giving way to first and final breaths
the ending of a form
completely changing to another
as practiced and performed
like a child leaving its mother
the hardening of the grass
frozen in gausy, shivered fashion
the nonchalant, "this too will pass"
as each season displays its attraction
the stiffening of the breeze
freezing each droplet in its place
the stripping of the trees
as each leaf leaves its warm embrace
the rustle of the stragglers
dressed up in new formed frost
a one time season traveler
laid to rest in winter's gloss
crunching into pieces
absorbed as the dormant soil feeds
finding new life as it releases
to live again in early spring

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
