The Steps
We are not sure
We wait with uncertainty
We listen to sounds unheard
As the world still does not know
What challenges we face …

Stars
Among the stars
And ending night
My heart sores
My feet take flight
Alas another day is here
still left with our covid fear
But sustain us all we pray
So we will see another day.

Blue Moon
A full blue moon
Hangs just outside
The stars near by
All will hide
Behind the blue moon…

2020
A chilly blustery day as I warm myself
in front of early morning fire.
The dark mornings and quiet house
lends me to reflect.
We are in tumult times of discord,
turmoil and a horrible virus.
My prayer is somehow this changes
and we wake in early morning healed.

The Pumpkin

A magic orange, a pick’s delight,
An Autumn prize, a beautiful sight.
A lot of love was chosen that day
among the gourds and leaves and hay.
Which one to chose and take home
a prize that stands out alone.
Now it sits with lights adorned
Right next to the dish with candy corn.

Autumn Wish
If you follow my blog
And I hope you do
I want to thank you !
Autumn has come
The leaves are turning
Covid 19 is still churning
Politics raging
Nothing to do
But vote, it depends on you
We will still wake
On November the 4th
We will still as people go forth
With a run and a prayer
And awaking to hope
Our people will survive and cope
Green and orange
River still flows
🏃♀️ Runners still forge and know
If we get up
And go on
The road is there
To make it a strong

Apple Farm
The old red barn
Has lost some charm
The bare cupboards
sound alarm .
As the day of plenty
Is now in the past
The smell of yesterday
Somehow still last
Handkerchiefs are gone
Crochet by hand
The tiny baskets
No longer stand
The apples still ripen
And the pears still fall
Mask are all worn
But not by all
Poets and artist
Will record this time
When people passed
And the need to be kind.
