Pale blue moon Of August, Peeking behind The clouds, Luminous,

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

Inhale, the arms float up, Exhale, the arms float down, Namaste, at the heart. Inhale, the body bends, Hands at top of mat,

Firefly shine your light, Brighten my life, Lead the way, through The meadows, in my mind. Firefly, float so high,

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

On this New Year’s Eve Direction lost Drifting like blowing snow To and fro. A freeze comes

Life is but a dream, our fantasies, spill, like liquid tears that pool and vaporize into the air.

Ambition seems overrated at this time of life, effort seems more like strife. In my youth I was motivated by a hungry desire

Every hour we are someone Different, Every day something new Learned, Death is just another

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

Easing down the gravel road, yellow leaves spiral across, like a welcome

Her smile was like gold, Her lines were often bold, Her stories of wisdom told, In books that are now sold. She has left the earth,

The dance of fear, Of not being enough, Stops and starts. The unknown, an Uncharted sea,
