    burst from limbs of orange leaves~
    Thanksgiving bouquet.

    Salmon hues at dusk
    brush the linen clouds with light~
    Autumn by the Sea.

    Tight high pitched strumming
    plays the deep triumph of morn’~

    Snowflakes on leaves
    silence crackle, embers heave
    music in the air.

    A bee trapped
    out on a spree, stilled the clamour.
    Silence, nobody speaks.

    Faces aghast, lights on
    Creek! the door opens, chill.
    out flies the bee.

    Embers surge, music flows
    masked smiles in censured lips
    hearts thank, Alive!

    The night raven caws
    Calling its sinister tune
    In the pin-pricked night

    The silver moon still
    Hanging suspended in the
    Night, singing to wolves

    The placid calm pond
    Beneath the Raven’s tree perch
    Lies ever-still neath’ moons

    The raven flies off
    Snow falling from its branch perch
    As the raven soars

    Abandoned stone left-
    The ripples in the still lake-
    Shuffling through my thoughts

    The rushing small feet
    Froze before the puddles, jump
    Melting monsoon sky

    With gusting of wind
    Aroma of the dinner
    A raven head home

    A butterfly crossed…
    The stream held her reflection
    Metamorphosis

    Cow ruminated
    Beneath the sanguine west sky
    When I sat to write

    Again, nameless birds
    Migrated to my clear sky
    To leave memories
