Three Trees at Sunrise

See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence…
We need silence to be able to touch souls.
~ Mother Theresa

Three Witches’ Trees

Macbeth and Three Witches

Three Witches © 2007

Fillet of a Fenny Snake,
In the Cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of Newt, and Toe of Frogge,
Wool of Bat, and Tongue of Dogge,
Adder’s Fork, and Blind-worm’s Sting,
Lizard’s leg, and Howlet’s wing,
For a Charm of powerful trouble
Like a Hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toyle and trouble,
Fire burn and Cauldron bubble.

Three Witches in ‘Macbeth’ ~ William Shakespeare

Red Leaf, Afloat in the Prairie © 2007

Caught in golden grass
As red oak leaf drifts to earth
Seeks freedom of wind.

Early November in Wisconsin

Not yesterday I learned to know
The love of bare November days
Before the coming of the snow….

The earth is covered knee deep in leaves in the wooded areas of Owen Park, but there are a few trees refusing to drop their leaves and the sumac still shows red.
