I remember your smile, your laugh,… you gave so freely. It’s hard that you are gone. I sigh and walk along the bay.
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
Brown hawk with spotted tail, soaring on the wind, balancing like a sail. Your piercing cry
The flesh withers as we age But our inner spirit Remains the same. And when the body dies The spirit breaks free
It’s a billion stars moving and co… While we sleep. It’s one miracle after another and… We do not take the leap. It’s the great heave of nature
Just a small part of me wants strife to go away, to return to a kinder time. Am I just losing courage? Life is draining me,
As I age this last quarter of my life, I am fading into the background. As I let go of roles,
The white snow lay gently on the ground in a swirl pattern. The sky, a slab of smooth grey stone.
As we shared stories, The warm hum of voices heard, A cup of love spilled.
Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,
When I sit And watch The in and out Of breath, Thoughts no longer
In the dead Of Winter, I long for Spring. In the rains Of Spring,
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.
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
My heart is a good heart, It beats strongly And works hard, To keep me alive. My mind is a good mind,
