Written after a trip to the seashore, 4-2023.
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,
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.
Silver sliver of the moon With the bright star of Venus Trailing behind. Moonbeams casting light On the waves,
Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
Memories of my childhood Visit more and more Each day, As ghosts of past relatives Cast their shadows,
Cool breeze rustles through the tr… drifting into my open door and leads me to the window to see leaves falling with abandon. Highlights of red and gold lace
One year since I traveled to paradise. One year since I laughed and danced with friends. One year since I watched
Red and gold leaves Falling, Sing to me Of the season of change, Before the snow,
Cold spring rain chills my body And yet, the birds fly in unison As if, it is a sunny day. The white tail deer Bounce through the ravine
Not sure where we are headed, Could be a long ride, Keep your heart steady, Open wide your eyes. There is something to learn
Autumn wind Brings scattered leaves, Splattered, With red and gold. Autumn wind
As we shared stories, The warm hum of voices heard, A cup of love spilled.
Beneath the bustling, hustling mind, deep inside, there is an oasis of calm.
In the blink of an eye It’s a different scene On the big movie screen So easy to get absorbed In the story line of time.
Life is a day dream So they say, With every beat Of my heart, The gate to love
