She blushed as they both looked up at the sky,
a gentle breeze touched her cheek
as she embraced
his humble strength, stunned
that he had given her everything,
his heart
simply draped,
in a poem.

The Gift
In the yellow, the gold, and reds of autumn, we receive the gift
unwrapped, from the One
who made the leaves.

Walking in the Autumn Wind
As the oak leaves were filled with the brightness of the sun,
the wind swayed the tops of the pine trees,
and rippled the lake, carrying our prayers
over the surface of the water.
A hawk flew over with her shadow,
circling the poplar trees,
as the fall flowers reminded us of warmer days.

Where the Earth Falls in Love
Take my hand My Love, as we walk in the woods, covered
in the glory of autumn
where the earth falls in love
with the sky.

The Endless Ocean
An endless ocean awaits those who seek the sky
falling as they search for peace
spirits in fragments, and yet
holding onto their hearts
they are filled as they reach out
within the deepest parts
of who they are.

In the Blustery Winds of Autumn
In the blustery winds of autumn, I’m often carried to the trails of the mountain,
and I often wonder what took me so long?
to find my way, to reach out
and grasp,
my healing?

A Personal Invitation
If you like this blog, and would like to see more of my work, in a faith based environment, this is your personal invitation to my other blogsite, Walking Through Psalms.
There you will find more of who I am, with Scripture quotes, commentary, and usually a prayer at the end. Sometimes I place a poem there, with a focus on faith in God.
I want to make it clear that all are welcome to both of my sites. I try to encourage all people, not only one particular faith. I spend a lot of time in the Old Testament, including the Psalms, which are so loved by many.
So please feel free to stop by. Tell them Nico sent you. You can find it here: www.walkingthroughpsalms.wordpress.com
I wish you peace.

Red and Gold
The red and gold are pushing further in now, as the green
simply surrenders
to the cooler air, and even mystics
can have visions
of apples cooking, sprinkled
with cinnamon.

With Orchids in Your Hair
My Love, I will never run out of words to write
as long as your heart sings to my music,
and your spirit dances
as you twirl with orchids
in your hair.
You are
my poetry.

Our Brokenness No Longer Dances
In the stillness of the forest fog, our brokenness no longer dances,
as we absorb the silence, and the forest accepting
all of our prayers, our captivity is broken.
And our jagged edges
become smooth,
as we hear the hope
of chipmunks playing
in the leaves,
and our spirit breathes
even more
of our healing.
