#Autumn
Squirrels with bushy orange tails leap about the deck. Crickets hum, confused that it’s not dark yet. The caw of a blue jay
Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song
Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,
Cold spring rain chills my body And yet, the birds fly in unison As if, it is a sunny day. The white tail deer Bounce through the ravine
A path with heart Is full of love Which makes us right Brings in the light And chases the dark.
Pale blue moon Of August, Peeking behind The clouds, Luminous,
You may not know what you’ll do next: Hit the open road With your thumb stuck out. Give up all you own
Grateful for: Sunrise of pink and gold Showing the way, Lighting the sky, To another blessed day.
Some days you’re in bliss, Some days you’re in pain. Some days you’re up in the clouds, Some days you’re down in the flame… Some days you get what you want
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
Red sun in the morning rolling up the side of earth. The sky turned pink, as a ball of fire showed it’s strength,
Today, I wish the pain to go, the fatigue that I fight so. This process of aging is unkind and yet, the law of nature is a fast lane of change.
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
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…
