The Cycle of Life

When leaves fall, my heart is strengthened

breathing in

the cycle of life.

Autumn’s Light

I’m surprised by how autumn’s light still encourages me,

the sun warming tree branches,

a brighter light unhindered

it is a matter of letting go,

isn’t it?

a crisp layer under my feet

we begin again,

refusing to yield

to the coming bluster

of winter wind.

Autumn by the Lake

Autumn by the lake flows within me

infusing my being,

as a slight breeze ripples

over the water.

And in the leaves I sense

solitude releasing

the renewal

I needed.

In the Gentle Wind

Wholeness moves in the gentle wind of the autumn woods, clearing my mind

setting my heart free,

from the debris of this world

filling me,

with a positive vision

awakening

my spirit again.

The Intensity of Autumn

The intensity of autumn with the softness of the sun,

with the coolness of the air,

were always meant to inspire,

to refresh our spirits,

moving us

forward.

Mountain Morning

It was sunny and crisp in the mountains this morning,

in the sacred silence,

I found a way

to walk softly

upon the Earth.

Walking in the Late Autumn Light

Strengthened and walking in the late autumn light,

awakens some part of us

deep within,

a knowing perhaps,

an idea dawning

of a tangible wholeness.

In the peace of slowly falling leaves.

Sunlight Gently Brushes the Leaves

Peaceflow moves silently through our beings

as sunlight gently brushes the leaves,

affirming who we are,

yet calming our minds,

refreshing our spirits

and restoring,

our vision.

Sunlight Danced

Playfully, the crisp autumn air spun

through the forest,

as sunlight danced

on the maple leaves.

Walking Into the Light

Peace finds me leaving the shadows of summer,

walking into the light

of autumn hopeful,

listening to the leaves

with my spirit breathing again,

acknowleding

the colors

God created.

A quiet spirit.
