again this year
the leaves fall
and I watch…
the world as it is
a great mystery

asked to arrange
the flowers in a vase
I put them in any which way-
so glad there are some things
which can’t go wrong

my wife asks
what it is I want-
there it is, that question
not even I
can answer

so many chances
in a day
to say something to you,
but here it is
growing late

the happiness
of very little
going on …
many legs walking
from summer into fall..

out of view
I read autumn poems
while my wife talks to a friend,
their light laughter
lifts me from the page

inevitability
yes of course there is
inevitability,
will it keep us together
or drive us apart?

is it the prize
of growing older
these vivid dreams
so much more dramatic
then what I do awake

the wind in the trees
reminds me
that what once was
so important
just passes by

A great big cloud formation over Flat Rocks from yesterday ... 4-4-15

branches over head creating a lattice to the sky ...4-4-15

A nest left behind from last year beginning to show through some of the threads and strings from the walk yesterday at the Cornell Botanic Garden.,. 4-04-15

Another pond at Cornell Plantations with ice slowly receding... 4-4-15

Looking through one fence at another fence reflected in a puddle with the sky and clouds 4-4-15

Along the walk a look into a puddle with some mosaic of pine and sky...4-4-15

late in the day the ground warmth was enough that the snow was unable to land there withoutout melting but on surfaces above the ground it was able to stay... that is my theory for this

little evergreen holding onto its snow covering ... 4-4-15

Yesterday at the Botanic Garden ... a look along the upper pathway...4-4-15

Another view of Ithaca Falls with a roaring, raging, torrent of snow melt furiously falling! The force of it all gave off a strong spray laden-ed wind... All the gorges are at high tide

Wondering if this is what
my parents felt,
in their own time
seeing a better past slip
ever further behind
