Shaken

Photo of two deciduous trees, with most of their leaves fallen on the ground around them.

Autumn to winter—

grim reaper rattled the door,

deciduous trees.

Framed

Photo of the sunset as seen through a window.

Outside my window
a canvas sits awaiting
setting of the sun

Independent

silhouette of a leafless tree by the lake, with the pink of sunrise in the horizon behind it

Standing all alone
she’s strong and independent
a tree by the lake.

Scatter

Photo of a tree with red autumn leaves on it and scattered on the ground around it.

Broken pearl necklace
scattered all over the road—
scarlet autumn leaves.

Going away

leaf-less trees lining a single road in a village with the sun seting in the horizon

Far away from here,
into the depths of sunset—
wanderlusting heart.
