Time passing by now In a blink of the eye, In the clap of a hand, In the chirp of a bird, In a flash of light

Looking at my journal’s Blank page While geese fly by and honk A greeting. The red cardinals

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

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

The hummingbirds are buzzing As well as the bees. The Orioles land gingerly On top of the feeder. Cautiously they move down

Life is a day dream So they say, With every beat Of my heart, The gate to love

Beneath the bustling, hustling mind, deep inside, there is an oasis of calm.

Old friends walking on the beach, the waves bring in, memories, of carefree days;

As I enter my sixty-third year, Fall leaves grace the path I love, With hues of red, Gold and orange.

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…

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

I do believe, to give to others lends meaning to our lives. To be there

The lines in my hand, Were read once, By a gypsy, who Predicated a long life... But with many interruptions.

Half a world away, I walk a narrow, stone path. In the rice fields, the Balinese people

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