The Breeze and the Willow Tree


~ The Breeze And The Willow Tree ~

It is my way

to start the day

by opening my door


to step outside

breathe in the air

so fresh, so clean, so clear


to marvel at the clouds afloat

in skies of grey or blue — to

feel the sun upon my face

on mornings she shines through


to smell the air

breathe out a prayer

‘ere turning to my work


~~~~~~~~


how I love a sun kissed morning

especially on a chilly day

bundled up, I bathe a while

in it’s cheerful soothing ray


I notice patterns in my willow

hear music in her dance as she

sways and waves her limbs at me

while leaning on the arms of wind


The slightest breeze

Inspires my tree to

sway and dance a bit

her silent music rocks my soul

as I keep time with it


sometimes they swirl staccato

when the wind is fierce and free, but

I like it best when they slow dance

the breeze and the willow tree

One Last Warm Day


~ One Last Warm Day ~

Autumn gold against a brilliant sky

a glorious day to savor in farewell 

warm sunshine’s blanket until the 

Spring 


Tomorrow’s chill may keep me in the house 

so today I’ll soak in every moment of this

              ~ JOY! ~

~ Life Niches ~


When the niche you fit in is no longer there

and no known niche fits you - anywhere

it may be time to hone new space…

carve a new corner for yourself


invite new friends to share

unearth old hobbies in

new ways you love


build fresh joy from some

small corner of before

and bloom!

For those limbo times in life when one must move from old to new; from before to after - yet find a way to thrive.  Enjoy!

Internal Snapshot

~ Internal Snapshot ~

all the colors in my back yard!

no photo can contain them

every tree a different hue

every plant in fall attire

lawn and walks all

carpeted in 

autumn


no photo can capture the wonder

of this bright warm October day

so  I shall sit out here among

the falling leaves  and savor

each breathtaking moment


embed on my heart’s film

this joy against the cold

of a long winter’s night
