The red cardinal high in a tree, caught my attention with his melodious chirp on my daily walk.

What is the happiest moment of the… When I make someone laugh When I am of use for the good When I show kindness When I hold a hand

Last night I dreamt that I floated above the clouds, above the earth and my heart

The dance of fear, Of not being enough, Stops and starts. The unknown, an Uncharted sea,

Summertime gives A chance to grow Under the sun, Travel, to new places And have some fun.

The wind went through me, it carried the yellow, orange and red leaves lightly on the air. Another change is coming,

What is truth? It’s a changing sky, One day clear, The next, cloudy, Holding the blue and grey,

Red, yellow and orange leaves Fall quickly now And create a tapestry of color That fill my mind With joy.

Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart

Easing down the gravel road, yellow leaves spiral across, like a welcome

Thoughts flicker like twinkling lights, ride them across the sky. Embrace your dream,

Looking at my journal’s Blank page While geese fly by and honk A greeting. The red cardinals

Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,

Autumn wind Brings scattered leaves, Splattered, With red and gold. Autumn wind

First snow of the season Came down light and gay, With it’s bright white, Reflecting, Off slow moving clouds
