gold hosta leaves
and sounds of rain
October morning

some water
for the Christmas cactus
new buds grow

October days
and November in sight
frost on the ground

October 2020

all a day can hold
sun and shadows
on the wood window frame
above my desk
in my small study

late afternoon
sky colors and no wind
quiet day

sunset as I write
sky changes
to night

sunrise
for as long
as I can remember
the wonder of books

November 2020
