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.
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
The white snow, thin Like sand, over The fields, blowing Across the road. My car rambles
Standing at a crossroad Between this life And the next, Heart in hand I knock on that
Remember the night we took your mother’s car and drove over the skyway bridge? The moon was a bright light to show the way.
Holiday cheer and laughter, Multicolored lights blink faster, Music of love and good will, Grace the air like snowflakes. Tis the season to be compassionate…
When I first heard “The Blackbird,” In the middle Of night, I was just thirteen.
Birds flying here and there, landing on branches to chirp and bare, their heart. A private club among the trees with their own private code.
The misty, night rain, Soaking bare trees, Bringing nourishment. I stand at the window, A steady beat echoes
A path with heart Is full of love Which makes us right Brings in the light And chases the dark.
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,
Many thoughts in the mind, Some productive, some not. They glow like fires, Created by needs and
Squirrels with bushy orange tails leap about the deck. Crickets hum, confused that it’s not dark yet. The caw of a blue jay
The hummingbirds are buzzing As well as the bees. The Orioles land gingerly On top of the feeder. Cautiously they move down
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
