Fading Flowers
Blooms
Withered
Growing old
Stems now fragile
Petals paper thin
Heads beginning to droop
Yet their sweet fragrance wafts
The room fills with their pleasant scent
And my eyes only see their beauty
Reverse Nonet
Your Vestige
Time and life will take their toll.
They will leave a lasting imprint.
What is to be your end goal?
Time and life will take their toll.
The body dies but not the soul.
Consider this as you do your stint.
Time and life will take their toll,
They will leave a lasting imprint.

Leaf Legacy
Living
Among shadows
Of the past’s occurances
Alone I face the future
Certain
That my life was not in vain
It was orchestrated
For a purpose
Fulfilled

Based on Psalm 138:8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. (ESV)
Let Your Smile Remain
As Cheshire Cat
Leave memory of your smile
Long after you go

The Legacy of March
March of many weathers enters
Like a Lion’s loud roar
Shaking the barren tree limbs
From their sleepy core
Awakening season’s centers
To life once more
Then the Lion sleeps, time dims
March shuts Winter’s door
With Daffodil’s as assenters
And Songbirds galore
March leads a chorus of hymns
Life to restore
As Springtime rain mentors
March exits, no encore.
Like a frisky Lamb she skims
Toward the exit door

Portion Pondering
Will you leave a legacy of love and joy?
Or pilot a trail of endless pain?
With what marked traits does your life employ?
Will you keave a legacy of love and joy?
Or a bitter life which does annoy
By seeking only its own selfish gain?
Will you leave a legacy of love and joy?
Or pilot a trail of endless pain?

Dying leaf leaves dye
Haiku
Today while I was out walking, I happened to notice some leaf imprints on a large area of the concrete sidewalk here where I live. I had never seen this before so of course I took a picture and then researched it online to see the cause. I found that when leaves fall onto concrete and lay there decaying they excrete a dye called tannin that stains the concrete and so leaves their image when they are removed. The dye stains can be removed by detergent and scrubbing. I found this to be quite interesting!
