Each moment with My Love, on the park bench, listening
to the music of water,
surrounded
by layers of leaves,
we whisper
sweet talk absorbed,
into the dogwood trees.

Within our survival, our wordflow can shift and change,
leaving us with a thin layer of grey,
yet the colors will speak to us….
calling forth that ancient mystery,
of poets pulling down inspiration,
from the sky.
Hope brightens
with the morning sun.

In our grey of isolation green plants and blue skies
become our relatable, our tangible treasure
so that these frames of ours
these empty shells we live in,
can be filled
with who we really are
and the beauty
from the earth and sky.

As ice releases its grip on the trees, bands of gold slice
through the forest, quicker than knives thrown,
it is a wonder how hawks can see
in the brilliance of the dawn,
and how the first flowers
can be so brave.

When the green things grow, our vision is expanded,
recalling our victories instead
of scars, as forests
are born again,
and each flower
fills us
with a sense of hope
and strength.

A mystical mist of cold air and warm, of thin ice,
and reflections of snow maidens floating
freezing the air,
the river goes solid, surrendering.
And we behold the glory
of winter
unrelenting.

In the grey dawn, in this time of in between,
in the silent barreness
of our woods underground
bumble bees draw close,
and chipmunks remain silent,
praying for a blanket
of snow, and to remember
where their acorns
lay hidden.

In every season there is joy, waiting to be found,
carried on the wind
as the sun gently warms
our faces,
bringing a sense of wholeness
to who we are.
I’m having a wonderful time with writing, and photography. Thank you for reading!

In the space between the seasons, sunlight filters gently
in and through the leaves
giving us a mix of green
and yet some of the glory
found in the golden treasure
of autumn.

Note: I’m under the weather today and will be back soon.
I love when purple makes its final appearance
in the softer sun,
just before autumn flourishes
in the majesty
of golds and reds.
