Standing at a crossroad Between this life And the next, Heart in hand I knock on that

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

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

White heron skidding the blue, grey water, of the bay. How free and easy you make it look,

Pink hues from the west Filter through Snow covered boughs Leaving, The evening light

Harsh reality smacks like a slap of cold wind. Sometimes I’m a tough sailor, at the helm,

Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
