Fall whispers secrets that summer held so dear.
Leaves fall
Nests abandoned
Grass dries and falls away
Deer paths temporary walking trails
Winter white paints a fresh canvas
Deer come out in search of food
Cardinal sings his song, a reminder of winter’s temporary hold
Feathers bright and hopeful against the white canvas
Spring gains her strength from winter’s rest
From apparent death Spring is life and breath
Grass begins to grow
Trees begin to bud
Birds come back to their summer home
Fly, sing and chirp
The canopy alive with life and song
Buds turn to leaves
Deer paths hidden in new growth
Springs bursts with enthusiasm giving way to summer
Secrets held dear
Through seasons cycles
See
Learn
Know the secrets
Summer lets you in
Mother robin in her nest
Red-winged blackbird calls
Protecting what is yet to be
Orioles, orange flashes in the trees
Secrets revealed any time of year
Past, present, future
Moment by moment
Wandering feet, Curious mind
Open heart
Leaves fall
Nests abandoned
Grass dries and falls away
Deer paths temporary walking trails
Winter white paints a fresh canvas
Deer come out in search of food
Cardinal sings his song, a reminder of winter’s temporary hold
Feathers bright and hopeful against the white canvas
Spring gains her strength from winter’s rest
From apparent death Spring is life and breath
Grass begins to grow
Trees begin to bud
Birds come back to their summer home
Fly, sing and chirp
The canopy alive with life and song
Buds turn to leaves
Deer paths hidden in new growth
Springs bursts with enthusiasm giving way to summer
Secrets held dear
