Tea
I poured my tea
And let it rest upon the fireplace.
I sat close by to stay warm
The embers glow on my face.
The storm just close enough
to warn that it is near and cold.
Staying far away
the clouds are gray and bold.
I return to the warmth
and start to drink my tea
It is the safety of my home
that truly comforts me.

Past and Present
The gray stone,
Hundreds of years ago,
Others will pass
And I forgotten.
Time…

Ode to Autumn
I heard an owl outside my window
Breaking dark and morning flight
Then another answers soon after
Together harmony hooting quietA leaf is heard falling softly
Autumn speaks a gentle sound
Lagging song bird breaks the silence
And I am the only one aroundRustic red donned the tree tops
Top to bottom as they fall
Sweet farewell for winters coming
Leaving the trunk standing tallcopyright: CMM 2020
A Sunday
My daughter and my 3 grandchildren and me at a local farm.
Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children.
