Angled arc of sun
Shines on single ridge of trees
Shadows fall beyond.
Ten thousand flowers
Ripple in soft April breeze
Bright sea of yellow.
Clouds draw day’s curtain
Young leaves tracing orange sky
Conjuring shy sun.
Among woodland trees
Sun dances on gentle waves
Sky floats on water.
Spring starts in valleys
Slowly climbs up bare ridges
Winter clings to peaks.
New leaves opening
Floating above bare branches
Rolling hills glow green.
Two old pines entwined
Couple watching sun go down
Behind distant peaks.
In dappled forest
River always rushes down
While trees reach for sky.
Maple leaves start red
Change to light then darker green
Echo of autumn.
Green fire spreading
Brilliant glow as trees leaf out
Unquenched by cool lake.
