Today is December 3. It is snowing for the first time this season. The honeymoon is over.
Makes me wonder what Mother Nature is up to.

Sometimes I long for warm California nights
Bare feet, long straight hair, gentle ocean breezes.
Life was uncertain . . . an adventure.

She brings warm days and blue skies
Then dark overcast gloom
Next pouring rain and cold temps
Followed by ephemeral warmth
SNOW TOMORROW
Mother Nature must be on . . .

You tease us.
Sunny days and warm air
We rejoice at winter's end
Discard coats and scarves
Bask in spring's delight
Then you take it all away!
Cruel Mother Nature

Brightness is slowly obscured as the shadow begins its journey, darkening the buttermilk orb of light . . . wiping her beauty from the sky. Then, as the shadow fades, brightness slowly returns.

Sleepless
Tossing, turning
Tumbling thoughts will not be still
Doubt, regret, recriminations
Hours pass slowly . . . watching the clock
As I remain sleepless

Gloomy days
inspire melancholy thoughts
A desire to withdraw
into the mind and contemplate
the nature of life . . .
and death.

Listen. Look. The world awakens.
Birds soar, accompanied by cacophonies of joy.
Trees yawn, seeds and bulbs rub their eyes.
Ready to be nourished.
Come my soul. Spread your wings.

Lady in red
gliding over the ice
arms floating like delicate wings
grace combined with speed, strength
jumping, flying
in total control
in a class of your own
World Champion

Melancholy days
Melancholy nights
Shadows of past dark days
But only shadows . . .
that can be scattered at will
Never again the abyss.

Autumn brings bright colors: reds, yellows, oranges.
Warm hues defy the chilling air, glowing against blue October sky
Until winter winds arrive to blow the leaves away
Farewell to Autumn

As the temperature soars, sweat dribbles down my back.
I am overcome by lethargy.
In my catatonic state I hear harsh words I spoke of winter . . . and dream of snowflakes.

Was that a gunshot?
From my window I see a man lying in the street,
police with guns drawn.
They search his pockets, turn him over.
He sits up.
Relief.

Noises: traffic horns, radio, TV
Muzak and voice mail assault me
Making me dizzy, driving me crazy
Until I hide, close my doors,
pushing out sounds that are not noises.

Fireflies
glowing, flitting here, there, in front, in back,
delighting the eye.
Twinkling points in the fading light of day disappear as the sky darkens . . .
replaced by stars . . . heavenly . . .

Roses, red roses,
climbing wrought iron,
woven in ornate white rungs,
calling passers-by with color and scent,
feeding the senses, the soul,
making a memory that will survive the roses. . . .
