The Horror…

Thanksgiving is here, in less than a week,

The leaves have all fallen, all past their peak,

With visions of turkey, football and rest,

And a good nights rest I thought would be best.

So I went to bed and the sky was clear,

The threat of snow? There was no fear.

So when I awoke in the morning and rubbed the sleep from my eyes,

I looked out the door and got a surprise,

It was during the night and while I was sleeping,

That snow had fallen, was I still dreaming?

But it wasn’t a dream, it all was to true,

Snow was now here, I hadn’t a clue.

So why do I worry? Why do I fret?

I’m not really ready, to see the white yet.

 

 

 

I Walk Alone

I walk alone.

Alone in the wisdom of the woods

Alone with the love of natures embrace

I walk alone.

Alone in each step, the drumbeat of the distant wanderers

Alone, searching for truth in the infinite space

That is the wilderness, my life, my love

Forever marking time

 

 

 

A Time of Change

Thoughts of fall, the colors melting as falling leaves spread the residue of change across the landscape.

Shrouded in a fine myopic mist, the land lays waste to a slow death.

Wanting to hold on to precious life, the false hope of the future lasts until time reaches out and quietly asks it to return to the earth.

 

 

A Country Pond

A country pond, sitting serene under a cool blue sky, waits and wonders.

The surface, ripples forming in protest as the cool October breeze works its way across the quickly changing landscape, trees bowing and swaying in almost silent objection of the coming winter.

Soon, the placid surface, cold and lifeless, will carry the weight of the razors edge, pushing off and gliding in ever widening circles as the flakes of winter slowly fall.
