Life passes by
Procrastinators remain
A motionless log

Gloomy skies above
Melancholy moods below
Crestfallen heads droop

Youth was here and then
One blink and it was gone

Dancing in the sun
We spent summer days together
What a pair we made.

Turning Point
At this sunset hour
New opportunity waits
Just around the corner

Sighting September
August tried to warn
Us of her impending move.
She sent us cool drafts,
Chilling memos of warning.
Yet, wrapped in sweaters
We missed her exiting.
Undercover of night,
With just the moon as witness,
Fall bearing September came.

Seasonal Influx
Scent of Fall swirls as
Gossipping leaves rustle
September arrives

Garden Royalty
Non-edible crown
The blossom of the thistle
Conceals a soft heart

Sunflowers
Such a cheerful group
Heads up, looking to the sun
Ever Optimists

Solitary Sight
A flower’s purpose
Is to seek to grow and bloom
Wherever planted.
On my walk today, when I saw this little purple petunia in bloom, looking so pretty and strong though growing all alone in an obscure place, I had to stop to admire it.
It wasn’t in a big beautiful garden. It didn’t have ideal soil and light, but it still grew and bloomed.
And whether anyone else noticed it there in its little corner of the world, didn’t really matter, because it did what it was supposed to do. It fulfilled its purpose. And in doing so, it inspired me.
This made me think about my life, my purpose, my growth, and it was good food for thought as my tummy made hungry sounds causing my feet to make their way towards home as the sun begun to set on another Summer day.
Grow-Bloom-Inspire
Knowing your purpose
Seeking to ways to fulfill
Leads to accomplishment
