From a walk of being

of woods I will keep

blue green fungus, a fallen tree flower

tree-lined river reflecting un-melting

worn summer fern wintered to gold

red bright jewel necklace on a brook's rocky edge

diamonds of ice on a stream overflowing

one knot framed in moss on an old wooden post

a purplish seed pod enlivening dead leaves
