7-30-24. Inspired by a trip to the mountains of New Mexico in the Gila National forest.
Looking at my journal’s Blank page While geese fly by and honk A greeting. The red cardinals
In the rustle of leaves the wind plays a tune, the change of season is on the horizon. It asks permission
My heart is a good heart, It beats strongly And works hard, To keep me alive. My mind is a good mind,
Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart
Red and gold leaves Falling, Sing to me Of the season of change, Before the snow,
On this New Year’s Eve Direction lost Drifting like blowing snow To and fro. A freeze comes
When I sit And watch The in and out Of breath, Thoughts no longer
If I could go back in time I would fix my wrongs, I would sing new songs And mend all hate And open the gate
In the noble purpose of my life, In the clear and quiet chamber Of my soul, In the open and warm cave Of my heart,
Old friends walking on the beach, the waves bring in, memories, of carefree days;
Life is a day dream So they say, With every beat Of my heart, The gate to love
Red, yellow and orange leaves Fall quickly now And create a tapestry of color That fill my mind With joy.
What is truth? It’s a changing sky, One day clear, The next, cloudy, Holding the blue and grey,
Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,
Mr. R. would talk about his deceased brother, he dreamed about him frequently; also of an eagle
