#Autumn
The white snow lay gently on the ground in a swirl pattern. The sky, a slab of smooth grey stone.
Itchy eyes scaly feet achy joints and bad teeth hair so fine
Cool breeze rustles through the tr… drifting into my open door and leads me to the window to see leaves falling with abandon. Highlights of red and gold lace
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,
In the dead Of Winter, I long for Spring. In the rains Of Spring,
The hummingbirds are buzzing As well as the bees. The Orioles land gingerly On top of the feeder. Cautiously they move down
Orange full moon with a half smile, a hanging lantern, lighting the way, through dark streets,
Great scientific minds Working for cures Of terminal diseases, The clock ticks... What is the cure
The lines in my hand, Were read once, By a gypsy, who Predicated a long life... But with many interruptions.
Birds flying here and there, landing on branches to chirp and bare, their heart. A private club among the trees with their own private code.
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
Yellow finches Line the bird feeder Against Spring’ s canopy Of green and purple tapestry. Back and forth they go
Harsh reality smacks like a slap of cold wind. Sometimes I’m a tough sailor, at the helm,
Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,
