I cannot imagine grace
its slow quiet crawl
into my soul
My words are birds
beautiful delicate feathered things
on graceful multicoloured wings
set free to range the mental sky
they take me where
I dare not fly
I watched the squirrels chase each other
along the long limbs of the cedar elm
as its leaves fell sporadically
silently whispering
the approach of autumn.

I took a deep breath of cool air
thinking thanks
for mother earth
her gentle breeze stirred the trees
leaves slow dancing with the sun.

I sit comfortably pleased by the pleasance
of this bright day
and the final flowering of sage.

The beauty of her heart speaks.
As she floated freely in the water.
Like lotus, she blooms radiantly in the rain.
Catching life as it flows.
Watching the clouds blown away beyond the sky.
Letting the magic of love do
what it will.
A warm sunny night a
Gentle breeze all night and
The stars shining so bright there
Twinkling in the sky tonight
And it's just a peaceful sight.
Summer's Night 🌃🌉🌹🥰

I watch as time stands still.
Tomorrow is another past
I have yet to see.
I greet it with a smile..
And
You can keep your negativity.

My happiness is up to me.

Tomorrow is my history
Not yet written.
Today was my Tomorrow
as time stands still.
Another past I've yet to see
I greet it with a smile
My happiness is up to me .
So world
keep your negativity,
It means nothing to me
Tomorrow is my past
As i
write my own history.
