Orange full moon with a half smile, a hanging lantern, lighting the way, through dark streets,

Pretend there is no tomorrow becau… there might not be. Live like there is only this momen… that is the truth. Nothing is solid but whispery,

Thoughts flicker like twinkling lights, ride them across the sky. Embrace your dream,

Not sure where we are headed, Could be a long ride, Keep your heart steady, Open wide your eyes. There is something to learn

Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often

You may not know what you’ll do next: Hit the open road With your thumb stuck out. Give up all you own

The wind went through me, it carried the yellow, orange and red leaves lightly on the air. Another change is coming,

The red cardinal high in a tree, caught my attention with his melodious chirp on my daily walk.

At that magical time When the yellow moon Sets, And the pink mist Of dawn,

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,

If I had all the time In the world To write, What would I say? What would be the most

In the rustle of leaves the wind plays a tune, the change of season is on the horizon. It asks permission

My heart is a good heart, It beats strongly And works hard, To keep me alive. My mind is a good mind,

White heron skidding the blue, grey water, of the bay. How free and easy you make it look,

I remember your smile, your laugh,… you gave so freely. It’s hard that you are gone. I sigh and walk along the bay.
