class in the forest
they all look up
to the tree
growing close
a family of trees
standing tall

bowed to the ground
the golden-rods
too tall of themselves-
I couldn’t tell her why
the sky is blue
the golden-rods
too tall of themselves-
I couldn’t tell her why
the sky is blue
the clarity
of being here now
as witness

where I sit
on my usual bench
remains of a nut
stairway rails
seen through
the reflections

beyond this life
that one old friend
I bump into over and over
promising that we’ll get together
again, someday
that line
between reality
and dream

at the old parking lot
the sparrows bathe
in a big puddle
sometimes I’m so happy
just to be here as witness
breaking
the reflection stillness
rain drops

the farther away it gets
the more magical it becomes
those times at night
in the back seat ,
my parents taking us someplace…
a moment
before our sun leaves us
to another night…

in the hollow
at the base of the trunk
a seedling
always
reaching for the light

wondering if this is what
my parents felt,
in their own time
seeing a better past slip
ever further behind
the water
in the tree, the water
in me…

another day
a few birds fly
across the sunset
a glance above
into the story
of autumn colors
