Yellow finches Line the bird feeder Against Spring’ s canopy Of green and purple tapestry. Back and forth they go

When I sit And watch The in and out Of breath, Thoughts no longer

One year since I traveled to paradise. One year since I laughed and danced with friends. One year since I watched

It is what it is Despite my wishes for it, Otherwise. You are who you are Despite my expectations,

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

On the brink of leaving, To go beyond These borders And say good-bye, To all you know,

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

Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart

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

In the still night In the silence, My soul begs, My mind to rest. It’s story told

The white snow lay gently on the ground in a swirl pattern. The sky, a slab of smooth grey stone.

Summertime gives A chance to grow Under the sun, Travel, to new places And have some fun.

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

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