Some days you’re in bliss, Some days you’re in pain. Some days you’re up in the clouds, Some days you’re down in the flame… Some days you get what you want

As we shared stories, The warm hum of voices heard, A cup of love spilled.

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

Memories of my childhood Visit more and more Each day, As ghosts of past relatives Cast their shadows,

Life is a day dream So they say, With every beat Of my heart, The gate to love

The misty, night rain, Soaking bare trees, Bringing nourishment. I stand at the window, A steady beat echoes

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

In the rustle of leaves the wind plays a tune, the change of season is on the horizon. It asks permission

The red cardinal high in a tree, caught my attention with his melodious chirp on my daily walk.

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

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

Dark bulk of a single bird, With red puffed up chest, As winter’s breeze sways his perch…

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