As I walk along nature’s path The clouds appear luminous and nea… As if to hug and protect All earthly inhabitants. Turtles sunbathe on a floating log

In the noble purpose of my life, In the clear and quiet chamber Of my soul, In the open and warm cave Of my heart,

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

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

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

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

My heart is a good heart, It beats strongly And works hard, To keep me alive. My mind is a good mind,

Lately, a sadness pervades, I mourn for youth, perhaps passion of younger days. With age, some of that passion

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

Itchy eyes scaly feet achy joints and bad teeth hair so fine

Holy Holy Morning glory Blooming in a haze Of purple light. Holy Holy

It’s a billion stars moving and co… While we sleep. It’s one miracle after another and… We do not take the leap. It’s the great heave of nature

Embrace that which comes with ease: The twinkling of an eye, The drumbeat of a heart, The blooming of a flower,

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

On this New Year’s Eve Direction lost Drifting like blowing snow To and fro. A freeze comes
