Halloween is Nigh!!!

There’ll be goblins at your door fairly soon
With witches in the air on their broom
Halloween is nigh, when the moon lights up the sky
To enchant each little ghostie and each goon!!!!

Trees and the Ghosts of Trees

Goose Who Came to Dinner?

 

Becoming Rock

I am becoming inert, unmoving,
Chained to earth.
I am becoming rock, forever bound in one place

Life comes in to slap me in the face,
Wash over me, push me deeper into the earth;
Then it runs away, Laughing,
Waving mockingly for me to come and play
But I can’t, I am becoming rock

Oh Lord, I am afraid that I will never be alive again.
I’m afraid I will never be able to rise,
To move from the edges of life.
I am afraid that gravity will pin me forever
Just out of reach of joy, of hope, of love.

Oh lord, teach this rock to sing!
For if I can sing, bound in chains to the hard ground,
Then I can also learn to fly.
Oh Lord, teach this rock to sing once more!

18 Hours in My World

The rain passed through, the skies cleared and a thumbnail moon rose over the inlet, but by morning the mist filled the inlet again.

Autumnal Joys

The summer turns its face to fall
The leaves begin to die
The petals drop from every bloom
The clouds cluster and cry

And yet with all the signs of death

The air is filled with life

For with the colors of bright joy

Each dying leaf is rife





Lift up a song to autumn’s days

And let your heart be light

For winter will not last for long

And dark gives way to light

The moon’s begun her jaunt across the sky

With all the little stars waving good-bye

The wispy clouds, like windswept tresses fly,

Across her face, as silent as a sigh
