The west coast of FLA. is hot in the summer but there is always a breeze and water to cool off in or so I remember when I was a child.
Driving down the road, The song, “Let It Be” Came on the radio. Taking me back to Various scenarios.
Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart
As we shared stories, The warm hum of voices heard, A cup of love spilled.
Lately, a sadness pervades, I mourn for youth, perhaps passion of younger days. With age, some of that passion
In the bright moments My mind is a flame, Melting obstacles, Gaining gifts of wisdom. In the dark moments
Inspiration is in the falling of rain, the soft coo of birds in late afternoon, the sinking of the
Red sun in the morning rolling up the side of earth. The sky turned pink, as a ball of fire showed it’s strength,
Misty fog floating through bare trees. Cold waves of wind coarse through the woods whistling as they go
I remember your smile, your laugh,… you gave so freely. It’s hard that you are gone. I sigh and walk along the bay.
Firefly shine your light, Brighten my life, Lead the way, through The meadows, in my mind. Firefly, float so high,
Last night I dreamt that I floated above the clouds, above the earth and my heart
A path with heart Is full of love Which makes us right Brings in the light And chases the dark.
Rolling painted deserts of the west. Shrub bushes dot sloping hillsides. Relentless sun heats up
Today, I wish the pain to go, the fatigue that I fight so. This process of aging is unkind and yet, the law of nature is a fast lane of change.
