by the bass pond
ducks
leaves falling
silence
clouds
dampness
yellow, orange, red, brown and green hues flank the lake
mallords quacking
crow squawking
waterfall trickling
autumn is here
without the cold, without snow
breathe
Look
it’s okay to grieve
the loss of seasons, family, friends, youth, lymph nodes, partial breast, hearing, memory, eyesight
Listen to the sounds of nature, the leaves falling, the mallards, the crow, the wind
See the trees, my friends, God in nature, all around me
thank you God
