October
the heart skips a beat for the early days of October
Reverence
a vulture came to visit my chimney–
she spread her wings and ruffled her feathers,
and we stared at her in complete reverence
Lately
hot pink petals
this song: Most People Are Good by Luke Bryan
dreaming on a little side porch
fig newtons and hot tea
saturday mornings with friends
this book: The Journal 1837–1861 by Henry David Thoreau
dinner on a blue and white farm table
ice cream for the pup
hearty wildflowers and herbs on the edge of the forest
reading under light blankets at midnight
and this song: Hello It’s Me by Todd Rundgren
Thoroughwort

Entwined
lives entwined–
one growing upon another,
memories overlapping;
your dreams embracing my dreams
The Crow
she listens to the crow’s call,
and it’s like coming home
Happiness
the tenderness of tiny blue flowers and the velvet touch of petunias, offer sprigs of happiness
Bees
with their erratic flight and soft buzzing she was hypnotized by the bees
Leaves

the tears of summer days and youthful years
