(2014)
The red cardinal high in a tree, caught my attention with his melodious chirp on my daily walk.
Sometimes wonder about a star, way afar. How life might be in outer space,
Unable to be all things For all people, Perhaps at one time, I tried. Those days are
Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart
Pink hues from the west Filter through Snow covered boughs Leaving, The evening light
Old friends walking on the beach, the waves bring in, memories, of carefree days;
I heard past generations In my son’s voice, I saw his life fly Into another dimension, A place, I can only imagine.
Life is but a dream, our fantasies, spill, like liquid tears that pool and vaporize into the air.
Easing down the gravel road, yellow leaves spiral across, like a welcome
Dark bulk of a single bird, With red puffed up chest, As winter’s breeze sways his perch…
Pretend there is no tomorrow becau… there might not be. Live like there is only this momen… that is the truth. Nothing is solid but whispery,
Summer is near it’s end, I regret not visiting my childhood home, near the gulf, where the sunset
Soft gray clouds pass slowly by, Soon they will release a gift of r… Trees are shedding their leaves As they turn red, orange and yello… Signaling the squirrels to collect…
Life is not fair at times... But of course things Change quickly down the line, We are born into a No guarantee world.
Red and gold leaves Falling, Sing to me Of the season of change, Before the snow,
