to each of you~

nov. 11, 

there is a certain unique quality of respect

that lies within this land here

a cirlce magically weaved of friends gathering

offering support and encouraging words

love felt deeply within

you read and listened

and no one ever asked why

you honored my privacy

you allowed me to share as i wanted

and peace you brought to me

knowing i need not explain my every word

you understand

acknowledge

each as an individual person

you can relate

even if our lives are so very different

we are connected

in such a beautiful way

THANK YOU

not only for yesterday

but each day that you have come here to visit

all in a matter of days

the tree outside has taken on a new look

more leaves have fallen

preparing for winter to come

i not only see this change before my eyes

i sense it



i can feel it as each day passes



no longer able to hold on

to those days of warmth

summer past

 it is gone

 autumn is at hand

we are aware that all must die

and new will come one day

a final goodbye

to the days that once were

its a cycle we have all come to know

the circle rounding

HOPE

lies quietly

knowing the seeds will be planted

and life will forever continue on

"How silently they tumble down

And come to rest upon the ground

To lay a carpet, rich and rare,

Beneath the trees without a care,

Content to sleep, their work well done,

Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly

Until they nearly reach the sky.

Twisting, turning through the air

Till all the trees stand stark and bare.

Exhausted, drop to earth below

To wait, like children, for the snow."

Elsie N. Brady, Leaves



it is a time when our spirit starts winding down

 

our soul finding solace

in the dark and coming barren days

 

a moment of calm

 

 

 tranquil are the minutes that pass

 

 

there is a hush that sweeps over us

 

our steps becoming slower



one must begin looking a little deeper

 

to find comfort and enjoyment

in the quite of this day



may your autumn days bring forth

a sense of yearning

desire

that keeps you thriving

in your day to day
