Through the billowing
   Autumn mist
a last red leaf falling

over this mere of dreams
a pair of blue herons
brushing the ripples

‘Deep-Time’ wilderness
a thousand peeks
and ‘endless’ valleys'

in the graveyard fog
a nameless spirit
leans on a blank
  headstone

swirling clouds
dance the soft
   breezes
of ‘Indian summer’

along this Winter shore
what can we learn
from small empty
abandoned  boats

cloud-swept valleys
‘endless’ hill upon hill
this singing wilderness

if we were not here
would the moon shine on?

conflict is never  the
true nature of the heart
and it needs no words
to speak

the bright Autumn moon
is the pivot of my heart
the light of my soul

a plaintive Autumn wind sighs
through  endless clouds and
bare bone-wood  trees
moon in night’s pocket

over this lake of dreams
one heron in the clouds
gone without a trace
