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

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,

In the blink of an eye It’s a different scene On the big movie screen So easy to get absorbed In the story line of time.

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

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

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

An owl hoots on this cool, crisp Spring night. A sound that’s distant yet echos

The flesh withers as we age But our inner spirit Remains the same. And when the body dies The spirit breaks free

Perhaps it is the mind separating things into this and that. Perhaps it is the mind with it’s preferences

Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song

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

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

When you are not here An empty heart full of fear Arises and wonders

Hello Sunrise, with your red ball of fire, peeking over the horizon, leaving the clouds pink,

Walking down the dirt path, Sounds drift on the air, Birds chirping, leaves Rustling, dogs barking. Interconnection of life
