Squirrels with bushy orange tails leap about the deck. Crickets hum, confused that it’s not dark yet. The caw of a blue jay

Standing at a crossroad Between this life And the next, Heart in hand I knock on that

This evening the blank, white page is open. My nerves are on edge, while a storm forms on the horizon.

A path with heart Is full of love Which makes us right Brings in the light And chases the dark.

Red sun in the morning rolling up the side of earth. The sky turned pink, as a ball of fire showed it’s strength,

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

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

First snow of the season Came down light and gay, With it’s bright white, Reflecting, Off slow moving clouds

One lit candle burns brightly As I make a wish upon it’s Golden aura, that Humankind May learn to caress the earth As the wind does a field of flower…

Time is going by fast, Trying not to live in the past, To keep priorities straight And not falter at the gate. To join the universal goal

To open and risk hurt... Or stay closed but Never really live. Pain can reveal... A connection to

What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings

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

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

The white snow, thin Like sand, over The fields, blowing Across the road. My car rambles
