#Autumn
Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,
On a walk this morning, the rocky cliffs that reach the blue-green sea, talk of strength today.
Not sure where we are headed, Could be a long ride, Keep your heart steady, Open wide your eyes. There is something to learn
Standing at a crossroad Between this life And the next, Heart in hand I knock on that
Pink hues from the west Filter through Snow covered boughs Leaving, The evening light
Grateful for: Sunrise of pink and gold Showing the way, Lighting the sky, To another blessed day.
Life is a day dream So they say, With every beat Of my heart, The gate to love
My spirit communes with the four directions: To the north are in-laws, our aging mother, her last
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
Red bird perched on a tree limb laced with snow. So happy to see him and the joy he brings.
Walking on the beach of long ago, the constant roll of the gulf, it’s sound, like a lullaby.
I remember your smile, your laugh,… you gave so freely. It’s hard that you are gone. I sigh and walk along the bay.
The birds flock to the bird feeder, some with black, capped heads and others with
Brown hawk with spotted tail, soaring on the wind, balancing like a sail. Your piercing cry
In the blink of an eye It’s a different scene On the big movie screen So easy to get absorbed In the story line of time.
