autumnal Equinox gently arrives
warmth of the summer lost in the skies
Burnt orange and red are made of your dress
A sigh of relief now we will soon rest
From a summer of drought and too little rain
We will put it behind us; wait for seasons to change

my grandsons and me
Walk free among verdant grass
Present will be past

a tender moment
Mother and daughter share time
While the children play

“There you are,” having fallen into helplessness,
confusions,
lost in the pile of life’s debri.
I pick you up, dust you off,
dear old friend,
but don’t leave again…
I smile down at my long lost pen.

You held my hand,
and we walked in trepidation onto the precipice,
when the wind of uncertainty caught us,
as we lost our footing into the abyss.
Falling into jagged walls of truth
and uncertainty…

we landed finally into silence.
Searching, we were separated from the other,
waking in time,
looking up, I see you have managed to climb
onto the edge, watching and waiting.
Sadly, the stones under your footing
loosened by your climb
break into a fall.

The modern-day lamb in stripes and stars
Lay in sacrifice of what should be.
He re-ignites the paschal-candle of brotherhood
and kindness in a country so dark.
darken from the light of goodness.
He poured from the receptacle of time,
and honor and devotion.
He lays the gauntlet of ‘moving-on’
In hopes others will follow.

Under the magic
Across the blacken sky is
Wonder of life and love
