I see the varying yellows and reds 
of leaves dancing to the ground 
after a slight wind 
I see bluejays, cardinals and robins 
jockeying for position on the birdfeeder's step 
I see deer walk across the field 
as I peer from the kitchen window 
they seem so joyful in their freedom 
I see the distant mountaintops fading as the Sun yields 
to the approaching night 
I see the emerging stars and the glow of the moon 
as it begins it's nightly watch 
then I see you 
secure in the maple frame 
I gaze endless 
until the call of sleep awakens me 
my home is wrapped in beauty 
but all the beauty I see 
begins in this frame 
in this face 
so far away
