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

Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song

Remember the night we took your mother’s car and drove over the skyway bridge? The moon was a bright light to show the way.

Blue star behind tree branch. White cloud passing half moon. Black space surrounds like a

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

The hummingbirds are buzzing As well as the bees. The Orioles land gingerly On top of the feeder. Cautiously they move down

Pink hues from the west Filter through Snow covered boughs Leaving, The evening light

What is the happiest moment of the… When I make someone laugh When I am of use for the good When I show kindness When I hold a hand

Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,

When you are not here An empty heart full of fear Arises and wonders If I will see you again. What will I do without

It’s that time of year again. The sound of honking geese fills the air, as they pass in alignment, to the Deep South.

Orange full moon with a half smile, a hanging lantern, lighting the way, through dark streets,

Summer is near it’s end, I regret not visiting my childhood home, near the gulf, where the sunset

There is my shadow, A dark outline of this body And yet, it also holds, The hidden imperfections Of my existence.

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