In the Woods - fall

Find me a soft spot
on the earth,
a place where only kindness falls
and no one ever gets hurt.
Like the leaves in autumn,
kindness cushions cold ground;
wafting down,
like God's love settling,
in solace
all around...

Life's Music - fall

every moment of life
is music -
exists in some emotion
sings with some manner of voice
senses each pulse of time
revealing truth in the telling
-
every moment of life
is music -
feel life's sound;
how is it moving in you
right now?

Too Small - fall

seemingly nonsensical
all throughout my life,
decisions I alone have made
based on fight or flight;
ends not knotted,
seams that were frayed,
no one ever seeing the garment
that together they made,
examining pieces far too small,
like taking one verse from a Bible full of scripture,
trying to make sense of it all,
while ignoring the Bigger Picture.

Mention Me

Mention me

once in awhile

with a laugh

and with a smile.

Always taking with you

some of what we've shared

and through life's times, connecting,

as once we did, back there.
