October, 2019
Grateful for: Sunrise of pink and gold Showing the way, Lighting the sky, To another blessed day.
There is my shadow, A dark outline of this body And yet, it also holds, The hidden imperfections Of my existence.
Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often
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
Red, yellow and orange leaves Fall quickly now And create a tapestry of color That fill my mind With joy.
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,
I remember your smile, your laugh,… you gave so freely. It’s hard that you are gone. I sigh and walk along the bay.
The white snow, thin Like sand, over The fields, blowing Across the road. My car rambles
It’s that time of year again. The sound of honking geese fills the air, as they pass in alignment, to the Deep South.
Not a word heard As the river flows Over rock, around Banks that lie Waiting for visitors.
White heron skidding the blue, grey water, of the bay. How free and easy you make it look,
Red bird perched on a tree limb laced with snow. So happy to see him and the joy he brings.
In the noble purpose of my life, In the clear and quiet chamber Of my soul, In the open and warm cave Of my heart,
Red sun in the morning rolling up the side of earth. The sky turned pink, as a ball of fire showed it’s strength,
In the bright moments My mind is a flame, Melting obstacles, Gaining gifts of wisdom. In the dark moments
