Embers
A Day to remember
In winter’s dark embers
With the cold at your feet.
A saint in the past
Made sure love would last
So now we give roses and sweets.

New Years Day
Breaking trail
the first day.
The year is now
a different number.
A cold night
a restless slumber.
2021 even sounds
better than before .
So slowly we open,
now close the door.

Autumn Run

I looked at the trees,
watched the leaves fall
How lovely it is
In spite of it all.
The tensions are high
about wrong or right.
The people have voted
and we grumble in spite
However the trees’ colors
of burnt orange and gold
the breeze helps them fall
and the trees just get old

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

Crescent Moon
Sometimes I feel like Heidi.
The moon and planets meet me,
chilly autumn air, crickets scream,
leaves are browning autumn seen.
Sliding into a Midwest home run
when leaves will fall against the sun .

Running
I thought of all the places
I thought of many paces
over the years I ran
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
