Lines, once hidden,
Have grown bolder now;
No way to hide them,
Can’t disavow.

Months of worry,
This illness claimed;
To live with this,
A horrid change.

Takes courage to fight,
The strange, unknown;
A weakness,
I must not condone.

Make time to rebuild,
No reason to preclude;
Dreams, tucked away,
Need be, pursued.

Not sure where I’ll land,
Nor at what stage;
But this much I know,
I have surely aged.

As day breaks, her spirit breathes

Patiently awaiting, the falling leaves

Orange, yellow, and russet red

Each tree will shed its leafy head

Decorate the ground, in perfect hue

Colors, delightful, in a vision true

Landscapes change, an added breeze

Stripping the forest’s brilliant trees

Until at last, they stand naked, bare

The spirit of autumn, now lays there

In the dead of night,
When moonlight shines
My lantern captures,
That which is mine.

Awakening graveyard,
The spirits do beckon
Calling out to me,
At least, what I reckon;

Is their immortal way
Of conveying their wishes
And I am never,
At all, suspicious.

For this is the time
Of the year I bloom
Though others may see
A most certain gloom

Autumnal equinox
My treasure, my Fall
The time in my life,
When the spirits enthrall

Softly setting, into night

Clouds gather, in the light

Whispers heard, above, in air

Pierce the moment, without care

Speak to twilight, grayish blue

Capture beauty, in its hue

Of golden rays, and orange flecks

To tell the tale, of what comes next

Softly setting, sun’s pure light

Murmur sweetly, into the night

Good morning, afternoon, evening!

It’s been a slow pace but I am now looking forward to getting back to writing!  Thank you, to everyone who reached out, text, email, calls!  Your support has helped me through a very difficult time.  I am still on the mend, and taking one day at a time, but wow,  have I missed you all!!

❤
