pieces of my life
on bits of paper mingle
with the coins
in my pocket – the poem
continues to elude me

Autumn Blues
It has been a strange eight days mired in joy, anxiety, stress and sadness.
Two home-goings, one way before his time. An ambitious young man, twenty two years old, on a new journey to law school. Now, a journey diverted, a soul called home. Leaving a mother grief stricken and numb.
The other, of her time. She had lived some life.
In between these, was a wedding in a most peaceful setting in the mountains. This odd mix of joy and sorrow came in threes.
short goodbyes –
lurking in cool air

Love
on this life journey
we have navigated all
we laughed and we cried –
autumn of our lives now filled
with warm loving reflections

Time & Laughter
Photo : A park near me.
fallen leaves are brown
bare branches now face deep frost
how time has moved on
through weary bones, but laughter
tends my soul holding time still
