(2014)
Rolling painted deserts of the west. Shrub bushes dot sloping hillsides. Relentless sun heats up
What is truth? It’s a changing sky, One day clear, The next, cloudy, Holding the blue and grey,
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…
The chimes outside the pottery studio ring like a temple bell, calling the faithful to honor,
I lay still While my loved one, Sleeps. His warm hand In my hand,
As I enter my sixty-third year, Fall leaves grace the path I love, With hues of red, Gold and orange.
Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song
The wind went through me, it carried the yellow, orange and red leaves lightly on the air. Another change is coming,
Red, yellow and orange leaves Fall quickly now And create a tapestry of color That fill my mind With joy.
Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,
What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings
When you are not here An empty heart full of fear Arises and wonders If I will see you again. What will I do without
At that magical time When the yellow moon Sets, And the pink mist Of dawn,
Thoughts flicker like twinkling lights, ride them across the sky. Embrace your dream,
Red sun in the morning rolling up the side of earth. The sky turned pink, as a ball of fire showed it’s strength,
