(2015)
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.
Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
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
Itchy eyes scaly feet achy joints and bad teeth hair so fine
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
Her smile was like gold, Her lines were often bold, Her stories of wisdom told, In books that are now sold. She has left the earth,
One lit candle burns brightly As I make a wish upon it’s Golden aura, that Humankind May learn to caress the earth As the wind does a field of flower…
Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart
The lines in my hand, Were read once, By a gypsy, who Predicated a long life... But with many interruptions.
As I age this last quarter of my life, I am fading into the background. As I let go of roles,
The white snow, thin Like sand, over The fields, blowing Across the road. My car rambles
Red, yellow and orange leaves Fall quickly now And create a tapestry of color That fill my mind With joy.
What if, The simple things In life, were the Most important Events.
Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,
Inhale, the arms float up, Exhale, the arms float down, Namaste, at the heart. Inhale, the body bends, Hands at top of mat,
