summer

I have sat next to all the beginnings,

I have heard the rushing of the wisdom 

coming from the sea.

The wind calls out the encore 

against the rocks 

and it is me…

Often pansies stuck inside,

cut from a garden

right outside.

She gathered them,

cleaned them,

a bouquet she would make.

Then she would say,

” oh goodness sake.”

I was always treated

Less than

Then I found running

I woke this morning, 

freezing from the tip of my toes

to the top of my head.

I looked at the dark sky and 

the snow and Ice ahead.

I picked up myself and 

decided to be, rose color glasses.

and warm sunshine inside of me.

I hope the weather catches up.

or sad it will be.

because I will be with rose color glasses

and a spirit free.

A September day

Shadowed by

The summer sun.

As sunflowers

Dance in fading light .

The moment reflects

A wistful sight .

Passing season of heat

And drought.

Lends now to a walk about,

The fields of sunflowers .

I wake and rouse

Throw on my shoes

I meet the dark

And watch to see

Nature smiles

Gives back at me.

Magenta red

Turns her head giving life

Her pollen sprouts

Golden and shouts

A procreating strife.

There are people

Who help you smile

Just by being in your path

And offer kindness for a while
