At that magical time When the yellow moon Sets, And the pink mist Of dawn,

White heron skidding the blue, grey water, of the bay. How free and easy you make it look,

Red and gold leaves Falling, Sing to me Of the season of change, Before the snow,

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,

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

Soft gray clouds pass slowly by, Soon they will release a gift of r… Trees are shedding their leaves As they turn red, orange and yello… Signaling the squirrels to collect…

Walking down the dirt path, Sounds drift on the air, Birds chirping, leaves Rustling, dogs barking. Interconnection of life

Many thoughts in the mind, Some productive, some not. They glow like fires, Created by needs and

I lay still While my loved one, Sleeps. His warm hand In my hand,

Brown hawk with spotted tail, soaring on the wind, balancing like a sail. Your piercing cry

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

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

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,

Walking on the beach of long ago, the constant roll of the gulf, it’s sound, like a lullaby.

Remember goodness in the fire of e… Remember joy in the center of sorr… Remember love in the flood of hate… Remember courage in the pit of fea… It’s never too late.
