Autumn Ritual
The fire is lit
The fall has come
The days grow short
At the setting sun
The witches howl
The children play
Sweaters are worn
For the chilly days
Time will rearrange
As seasons show off
The colors change

Rest In Peace
And thank you
For all the years
You fought tirelessly
For equal rights
Under the law.
With integrity
And class,
Reservation
And fierceness
Of a warming fire
That would burn through time
Before and now and forever .
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

The moon and planets meet me,
chilly autumn air, crickets scream,

Sliding into a Midwest home run
when leaves will fall against the sun .

In hopes i always can
It has been me
My constant …

Our Moment
I was trying to run the hill
When stopped by waiting still
was a lovely deer curious of me.
And I looked closely to see,
the beauty of nature, a sight
a pause , and then took flight

Morning Rain

The moon wakes an early rain
The wind now sway with fall
I listen to the distant thunder
I listen to nature’s call…
Calming breeze crosses my face
And drops of rain keep gentle beats
Quiet darkness is broken with light
The blooms now permeate with sweet
Hope
