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

Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,

Oh hummingbird Where are you now? Have you taken My courage with you? Oh hummingbird

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,

Life is not fair at times... But of course things Change quickly down the line, We are born into a No guarantee world.

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

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

Grateful for: Sunrise of pink and gold Showing the way, Lighting the sky, To another blessed day.

Rolling painted deserts of the west. Shrub bushes dot sloping hillsides. Relentless sun heats up

Geese are honking As they fly Across an orange colored Sky. My spirit soars

Red, yellow and orange leaves Fall quickly now And create a tapestry of color That fill my mind With joy.

Memories of my childhood Visit more and more Each day, As ghosts of past relatives Cast their shadows,

The buck in the garden Chewing up hard earned Labor, His antlers raise, His ears perk up, as

There is my shadow, A dark outline of this body And yet, it also holds, The hidden imperfections Of my existence.
