(2013)
On this New Year’s Eve Direction lost Drifting like blowing snow To and fro. A freeze comes
Great scientific minds Working for cures Of terminal diseases, The clock ticks... What is the cure
Yellow finches Line the bird feeder Against Spring’ s canopy Of green and purple tapestry. Back and forth they go
On a walk, many Brown-Eye Susan line the border, before the woods. Rain clouds move closer as if to give a hug, while
Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart
Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,
Grateful for: Sunrise of pink and gold Showing the way, Lighting the sky, To another blessed day.
Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,
Geese are honking As they fly Across an orange colored Sky. My spirit soars
When I sit And watch The in and out Of breath, Thoughts no longer
As I age this last quarter of my life, I am fading into the background. As I let go of roles,
Sometimes wonder about a star, way afar. How life might be in outer space,
Perhaps it is the mind separating things into this and that. Perhaps it is the mind with it’s preferences
Time is going by fast, Trying not to live in the past, To keep priorities straight And not falter at the gate. To join the universal goal
