A poem for fun! 9/20/20
Red sun in the morning rolling up the side of earth. The sky turned pink, as a ball of fire showed it’s strength,
It’s that time of year again. The sound of honking geese fills the air, as they pass in alignment, to the Deep South.
Brown hawk with spotted tail, soaring on the wind, balancing like a sail. Your piercing cry
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
Red, yellow and orange leaves Fall quickly now And create a tapestry of color That fill my mind With joy.
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
Itchy eyes scaly feet achy joints and bad teeth hair so fine
Dark bulk of a single bird, With red puffed up chest, As winter’s breeze sways his perch…
Unable to be all things For all people, Perhaps at one time, I tried. Those days are
My heart is a good heart, It beats strongly And works hard, To keep me alive. My mind is a good mind,
Hello Sunrise, with your red ball of fire, peeking over the horizon, leaving the clouds pink,
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,
An owl hoots on this cool, crisp Spring night. A sound that’s distant yet echos
I heard past generations In my son’s voice, I saw his life fly Into another dimension, A place, I can only imagine.
Yellow finches Line the bird feeder Against Spring’ s canopy Of green and purple tapestry. Back and forth they go
