An Autumn morning

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

In a Vessel

/ Called to Write - NC Trees Photography / Leave a comment

Ball Jar

Dreams like fireflies in a vessel

longing to be free – to escape

gasping for air in the jar holding them captive

until the dreamer releases them

they fly away

free – to be realized

to be acknowledged

be seen – be heard

like words on a page

until they are read

read with the heart

fireflies and dreams – fly free

fly high

to become the dreams that were dreamt by the dreamer

a new month

with new views

clouds are clearing

the sky is robin egg blue

Windows

/ Called to Write - NC Trees Photography / Leave a comment

windows

fascinated by them

their unusual panes

no panes

how the light is reflected in the room

or rooms

what is warmed by the sun’s rays

what is seen by the viewer

nature, grass, trees, leaves, birds, sky, flowers, ponds, ocean, sand, colors, streets

for the dreamer

– everything

Passing Clouds

/ Called to Write - NC Trees Photography / Leave a comment

floating across a blue sky

so often go unnoticed

in a rainbow of colors

puffy white creatures

gray and ominous

pink and heavenly

red and thunderous

scattered and striped with a rainbow or ‘sundog’

no two days are the clouds alike

look up – notice

these passing clouds

may they bring you a smile – a sense of awe
