To the Autumn Birches
The languid light of waning day

But you, you stun the dozing gaze...
And dare to shine as shadows grow,
Awake when all around you sleep,
Illumined with a radiant glow

🎨 Gerhard Paul von Rosen

A long time ago
I went on a journey,
Right to the corner
Of the Eastern Ocean.
The road there
Was long and winding,
And stormy waves
Barred my path.

If I had the power to turn back the clock,
and go back to that house at the
end of the block.
The house that was home when I was a kid,
I know that I’d love it more now than I did.

There will come soft rains
and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling
with their shimmering sound

Autumnal purple
Hues, lavender perfumes
Scenting the cool breezes
Wafting the atmosphere

This is the cry
Of souls, that high
On toiling, beating pinions, fly,
Seeking a warmer clime,

You are the bird of my soul.
i recognize it now.

You flew from the heavens
and landed on the soft petals
of my loving, expectant soul.

That oppresses, like the Heft

An old weathered barn,
one who has known many seasons,
invites you to enter his past.
And as you come in,
an old barn can whisper true tales

Ah, blue—aqua, azure, navy, teal,
midnight, sky, robin egg, baby.
I sing your message of calm,
of waves of hope.

Sometimes I long to disappear.
To become one with trees. With
the rivers. With the stars.....
I wanted to be where nobody
I knew could ever come.

He rises in late afternoon...
For just another nap,
The light streaming
Through the dust motes

The herd is fairly settled
Given what came through last night.
That sudden rain and wind squall
Could have set 'em on the flight.

But this sheep stays, ill kept,
close to the pricker bush
it can just feel, knowing only
what it has always known
to be its thorny truth.

Walking through the wet wet rain
Walking working wishing wondering
Waiting for a kind of fate
Waiting for kind fate

When I am old, and my best days are past,
When my mind's growing dim,
and my memory fades fast,
I hope I remember the beauty of these:
Dirt Roads,
And Sunsets,
And Cottonwood Trees.

The people along the sand
All turn and look one way.
They turn their back on the land.
They look at the sea all day.

Golden Elder Tree

Wild and free.
You are a queen among fruiting trees.
Sacred to the Celts.
There is no taming you.
