Ambition seems overrated at this time of life, effort seems more like strife. In my youth I was motivated by a hungry desire
As I enter my sixty-third year, Fall leaves grace the path I love, With hues of red, Gold and orange.
Birds flying here and there, landing on branches to chirp and bare, their heart. A private club among the trees with their own private code.
Rolling painted deserts of the west. Shrub bushes dot sloping hillsides. Relentless sun heats up
Silver sliver of the moon With the bright star of Venus Trailing behind. Moonbeams casting light On the waves,
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
On a walk this morning, the rocky cliffs that reach the blue-green sea, talk of strength today.
Just a small part of me wants strife to go away, to return to a kinder time. Am I just losing courage? Life is draining me,
Pale blue moon Of August, Peeking behind The clouds, Luminous,
Hello Sunrise, with your red ball of fire, peeking over the horizon, leaving the clouds pink,
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…
Pink hues from the west Filter through Snow covered boughs Leaving, The evening light
Summer is near it’s end, I regret not visiting my childhood home, near the gulf, where the sunset
An owl hoots on this cool, crisp Spring night. A sound that’s distant yet echos
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,
