Along Brandy Creek

Changing Seasons

 

Winter!

ice edged

waters

 

of the creek

soon frozen

under leaning

 

sycamore's ancient

canopy

now woven

 

into clear

cold cloudless

skies above

 

the leafless

branches bending

in afternoon winds

 

that blow

til evening

moonlight chills

 

already freezing

air that pulls

frozen edges

 

together

to close

open channels

 

of glistening

waters stilled

at autumn's end
