My heart goes out to those in Las Vegas

And once again, I am at a loss for words.  The senseless slaughter of innocent people, simply enjoying life, listening, dancing, smiling.  One human is all it took to take that away from them.  My heart goes out to the victims, and their families.  God bless them and keep them.

Many thanks to the first responders, for a compassion that just floors me.  I have heard that some of the police, armed only with a pistol, became human shields in protecting others.  That, to me, is a true heroism.

The lack of respect some have for our country is disturbing.  The lack of respect for human life goes beyond that.

God bless us all on yet another sad day in America  😦

In autumn’s crisp air

Let your soul reawaken

Breathe, and enjoy life

Moonlight Reflections ~ #OctoberWriting #poetry

I watched you sinking, never blinking

Wondering what you could be thinking

My guiding light, all through the night

Beyond the waters, ever shrinking

*

Waves already start to break

Ripples caught, within your wake

Oceans glow, as tides do flow

My heart of hearts, there’s no mistake

*

Moonlight perfection, a lover’s protection

The one who holds me, with no objection

I’ll sink with you wholly, ever so slowly

For together, we create, the perfect reflection

Silken threads glisten

With drops of morning, waiting

To lure in her prey

7th in the “Serene Sunday” series on my blog ~ Packanack Lake, Wayne, NJ

I will be taking weekends off from sharing poetry until further notice, so I decided to share some of my favorite photos.  I hope you enjoy them.  Of course, I’ll still be doing my #DailyHaikuChallenge/#OctoberWriting.  🙂
