"I hope that everything
outside of you
goes well

From a stone, I learned the art of remaining still.
From a river, I learned the art of remaining in flow.
From a falling leaf, I learned the art of remaining detached.
From a breeze, I learned the art of remaining gentle.

THE UNINVITED FRIEND
I have an uninvited friend.
She came to my door last night, again, and I almost pretended to be out.

I let my friend in and she w

The leaves are falling and the life force is in obvious retreat. Nature is preparing for its winter sleep. The Sun God is dead and the Flower Goddess is mourning. But in the hidden depth of the underworld death
On the eve of the day, of the thinning of the veil
The Fairies fly, over hill and dale
To meet in the halls, of the Old Oak Stump
On this spooky night, when things go bump
Some will travel, in pumpkin carriages draw
When I die
Give what’s left of me away
To children

And when you need me,

Something cautioned,—‘Frost.’

Autumn

Art by Alla Tsank
Fugitive, wistful,
Pausing at edge of her going,
Autumn the maiden turns,
Leans to the earth with ineffable
Gesture. Ah, more than
Spring's skies her skies shine
Tender, and frailer
Bloom than plum-bloom or alm
