Little white witches
Riding little white broomsticks
Cackle as they fall

I flew through an open window
Into the open air
Lit in a friendly tree
And sang my song from there
Then I flew to a telephone wire
And sat out in the sun
Some birds of a feather joined me
And we flew off as one
We went to a park where kind souls
Scattered corn and crumbs on the lawn
We landed and ate what we wanted
Then took to the sky and were gone
We met up with a warm south wind
That buoyed us in our flight
And held us in its gentle arms
All day, into the night

Time travel exists
Only where time can exist
That is in your mind

Yellow butterfly
There is nothing in your mind
But endless summer

A feathery snowflake
Falls in your hair
And quickly disappears
When I die
I'll sleep like a bear
For billions and billions of years
Maybe someday I'll be back this way
(Some say that someday I may)
But maybe that someday
Is eons away
I'm glad we're together --today

March at last is here
Sun gets higher, winter ebbs
Streams from melting snow

In February,
Late day light clings to the snow
Reluctant to go

Watching trees dancing
Wrapped in the arms of the wind...
What are they thinking?

Early Spring begins with the Vernal Equinox
and lasts until April 8th, the day I was born.
April 8th is the first day of Mid-Spring, which we love
until May 14th, when the leaves are almost full
on the trees. May 14th is the first day of Late Spring,
which totally delights us until the final minute of
June 9th has passed. Then comes June 10th and
Early Summer. The water in the brooks gets lower
and warmer. The sun reaches its highest point
in the sky. Early Summer ends on the 4th of July;
then come the seemingly endless days of Mid-
Summer. They hold memories of childhood and
a kind of timelessness. Mid-Summer is over on
August 7, the day my friend had his annual birthday
party after Little League was over. In Late Summer, the
Winter we couldn't imagine in July seems to be edging
nearer. The first day of Early Fall is the day after
Labor Day. We went back to school then, and the
leaves had already started to turn. On the second
Monday of October, Mid-Fall begins. The tamaracks
are yellow, the crickets are silent, things are very still,
everything seems to be waiting for the snow. On the
day after Halloween, Late Fall Begins. We hope our
fire-wood is dry enough; we get the snow removal
tools ready, and maybe even have to use them. This
short season ends the Friday after Thanksgiving. Then
we are into Early Winter. The sun sets very early, we
can see our breath in the morning. The dark time has
begun, but the days pass quickly, as the holidays brighten
our spirits. Mid-Winter begins on December 26. Now,
the darkness presses against our windows at dinner time.
Glasses of wine and candle light are the best defenses. We
press on through January, talking about our garden and
keeping the house neat. Then comes Valentine's Day, the
first day of Late Winter. Each day is noticeably longer.
We start to wonder what Spring and Summer will be like.
On some days the snow melts, and we see little streams
running along the sidewalks. The sun climbs higher in the
sky, and we REJOICE!

Early autumn leaves
They remind me of myself
Oh, those changing leaves!
