Spent the last few days up in the mountains getting away from reality, hunting for inspiration, and planning the future.
Fall
Missing Words in October
I enjoy playing with the poems of other authors, never because I can do it better but because by removing or adding a word we can see the process.
Outside my Window
Fall is coming, all that was lush and green will fall under death’s trance.
A temporary respite from the living. A momentary invitation to dance in death’s shadow.
Does nature get a chance to know what lies beyond? Is that why it fights so hard every spring?
If given the choice to know all, to have all the mysteries revealed I’d fight like hell.
No mysteries- No satisfaction.
Fall Haiku 924 (1)
A crackling leaf-
Transformation hinges near-
Just before the freeze.
Each Fallen Leaf A New Opportunity
The Simplicity of Beauty
Eternal Beauty.
Temporarily Given.
Fleeting Love Arrives.

The Strength of Fall
It is not the beginning,
It is not the end.
A time for reflection, a time of
Change.
Life becomes dormant,
Hoping it will return again in the Spring.
Lessons can be learned in nature now.
Preparation has begun for the harshest weather
The beauty has retreated, not gone.
What will you do when the harshest weather comes?
Will you be like the tree?
Will you prepare and take strength in your roots?
Or will you be the flower?
Replaced.
