The trees begin to burn with the colors of flame
In the air, a hint of coolness foretells the passing of summer
The moon hangs low and large, catching the glow of fire
And flowers share . . .

October leaves reflect the colors of my spirit
Bright and subtle hues of many moods
Flames of love, fires of passion
Warm embers of longing
And soothing shades of compassion
October leaves . . .

Pretty Beads
pretty beads
dancing in the light
that falls on pale skin
pretty beads
colors of the rainbow
adorning lifelessness

are all that's left
of the color . . .

Glowing, flitting
Here, there, in front, in back
Delighting the eye and the soul.
Twinkling points in the fading light of day
Disappear as the sky darkens
To be replaced by stars . . .

I Am Growing Up
I am the sum of my genes
and the sum of my experiences.
Not quite a tabula rasa at birth.
A kernel of personality
written in the genetic helix of proteins,
written . . .

Reds, yellows, oranges
Warm hues defy the chilling air
Glowing against the blue October sky

I gaze upon the barren fields
Bereft of crops, covered in new snow
That looks like clouds fallen to the earth
Pure, white, and clean.
Brown remnants of dead stalks
Poke through the . . .

Birds soar against the bright blue sky.
A cacophony of joy accompanies their flight.
Chipmunks are venturing out to taste the season.

I don't write poetry. But today was a poem and it didn't seem right to describe it in any other form. It also didn't seem right to keep it to myself, so here it is. The poetry might not be . . .

Birds sing with joy
Soaring against the sky
Trees yawn, basking in the warm sun
Seeds and bulbs rub their eyes, ready to rise

Come my soul. It is safe . . .
