the deepest secrets
of the cosmos are written
in every stone
I found this stone on one of my constitutionals into the Superior National Forest. It almost seems as though it has a message encoded in its structure, and for all I know, it might.

maples tell the pines
to roll out the thatched carpet
for winter draws nigh

a smoky sunrise
adds a surreal touch
to nature’s artwork

stormy clouds above
racing their rivals below
locked in a dead heat

the ducklings have grown
their limpid pond has turned green–
the dog star rises
–photo by me
fresh black-eyed susans–
each wanting to tell her own
side of the story
–photo by me
a songbird sings out–
and makes the weary world
seem all right again

nature’s abstract art
on exhibit at the beach
in driftwood displays
–photo by me
little ponds provide
lily pad parasols for
sunbathing sunfish
–photo by me
odd assortments of
faithful fans line the forest’s
carpeted runways
