The earth is soaked and swollen
from yesterday's day long rain.
The leaves are scattered in
random patterns like a wet carpet
and the wind swirls and follows me
as I circle on the path.
The Archangels and Goddess support me
as I merge with the wet earth
and walk with the whirling wind.
I become one with nature
and find my center
in the chaos of the world.
Written on 10/15/17 as walking in park
after a long rain the previous day
Archangels Raphael, Purliniak, Sandalphon
were with me as well as Goddess Saraswati

All Must Go
Fall is falling all around us
Autumn leaves co-mingle
at my feet
They hang on
with battered limbs
until giving in to
the insistent wind
Like rain they drop
from all directions
loosening
their grip on life
"Must hold on a little longer"
some not ready
to die yet
No discrimination
as to color, shape or size
All must go
by time of winter
No leaf
can be left standing
No disruption
to the rite
All must be sacrificed
in the cleansing
The baring of the trees
The cycle
of the seasons
must continue as it has
Mother Nature knows
the reason
All must succumb
to her will

Solitary Hike
The forest greets me with an array of colors
The leaves provide a carpet for my feet
The trees breathe life into this peaceful space
The sun plays hide and seek through their heads
as it blesses me with its filtered light
I am alone with no one but myself for company
The quiet seeps into my soul
as I patiently pave my way on the path
Time has no measure as I meander around
Nature is abundant in these beautiful surroundings
Completely supporting me as I contemplate
the meaning of my life

Fall Day
The ground is wet from the night's rain
Dampness permeates the air
A puddle reflects the image it sees as clear as in a mirror
The sun is shrouded in a cloak of grey clouds
as if protected by a shield
while it cuts the night and dimly comes alight
The plants drink their fill from their thirsty roots
The leaves stick to the pavement
as if glued in a colorful collage
Fall is upon us as it seeps into our lives
The changing seasons bring their varied gifts
Each day a new surprise
