#Autumn
The misty, night rain, Soaking bare trees, Bringing nourishment. I stand at the window, A steady beat echoes
Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
One lit candle burns brightly As I make a wish upon it’s Golden aura, that Humankind May learn to caress the earth As the wind does a field of flower…
On this New Year’s Eve Direction lost Drifting like blowing snow To and fro. A freeze comes
I heard past generations In my son’s voice, I saw his life fly Into another dimension, A place, I can only imagine.
The many places I have been And countless faces I have seen, The many tales to be told, Into the universe, they unfold. It’s all a passing show,
Perhaps it is the mind separating things into this and that. Perhaps it is the mind with it’s preferences
On the brink of leaving, To go beyond These borders And say good-bye, To all you know,
My heart is a good heart, It beats strongly And works hard, To keep me alive. My mind is a good mind,
At that magical time When the yellow moon Sets, And the pink mist Of dawn,
Yellow finches Line the bird feeder Against Spring’ s canopy Of green and purple tapestry. Back and forth they go
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
You may not know what you’ll do next: Hit the open road With your thumb stuck out. Give up all you own
What is truth? It’s a changing sky, One day clear, The next, cloudy, Holding the blue and grey,
An owl hoots on this cool, crisp Spring night. A sound that’s distant yet echos
