In the days of my youth
When time was of no essence
No thoughts for the morrow
Entered my lofty world
As I grew vibrantly
In the fresh breezes of life
Enjoying the sun’s kiss
Until touched by Autumn’s breath
I felt the brevity of life

Another Change
Tonight
Another change
Time falls back an hour
Tomorrow will seem different
Again

Then and Now
I look at you now,
In the Fall season of life.
Your beauty dim.
You are not as tall,
Nor as vibrant now,
As in the Summer of life.
Your color now gone,
You bloom no more, as before,
Yet, I love you still, my rose.

FALL
Fall is here
Acorns and
Leaves
Litter my path

A Fall carpet of colors

FALLING
Feathers
Acorns
Leaves
Last blooms
Indicate
No more
Gardening this year

Looking for Fall
Sitting in the wood
Beside the forest green
Fall colors absent

Faith in Action
Upon Weary Knees
Prayer Warrior stands for truth
Watching leaves fall

Life’s Seasons
People come and go
Things change like Fall leaves
And we must detach
With a quiet acceptance
Or fly away with the wind

Destination?
Sure of your future?
At the time of detachment
Where will you land?
