1/18/21. Dedicated to my husband of 41 years.
Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song
Firefly shine your light, Brighten my life, Lead the way, through The meadows, in my mind. Firefly, float so high,
Squirrels with bushy orange tails leap about the deck. Crickets hum, confused that it’s not dark yet. The caw of a blue jay
Birds flying here and there, landing on branches to chirp and bare, their heart. A private club among the trees with their own private code.
When I first heard “The Blackbird,” In the middle Of night, I was just thirteen.
Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart
Life is not fair at times... But of course things Change quickly down the line, We are born into a No guarantee world.
You may not know what you’ll do next: Hit the open road With your thumb stuck out. Give up all you own
The buck in the garden Chewing up hard earned Labor, His antlers raise, His ears perk up, as
The lines in my hand, Were read once, By a gypsy, who Predicated a long life... But with many interruptions.
At that magical time When the yellow moon Sets, And the pink mist Of dawn,
Pink hues from the west Filter through Snow covered boughs Leaving, The evening light
When I sit And watch The in and out Of breath, Thoughts no longer
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…
It’s that time of year again. The sound of honking geese fills the air, as they pass in alignment, to the Deep South.
