Derelict buildings

by a placid lake

Waiting

 

 

A boulder hangs

at the top of a chasm

Gravity rules

 

Bedrock

breaks the waves
then yields

 

The wind is soft,

the waves are smooth . . .
Sculptors of bedrock
 

Mossy stairs
through bedrock walls . . .
Passageway

 

Wild waves

try to climb the shore

but can't

Trees cling

to bald bedrock

Somehow

Grass grows
on ancient wheel tracks
to paradise
 

The lake beyond
yellow-dyed tree tops . . .

Everlasting

Brown leaves

in a forest graveyard

Remember

Moonrise

through foggy sleet

is cold comfort
