Wet and Wind

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

Seek Your Rainbow

If today it is raining on your parade
Just ask the sun to come out and play

There can be no rainbows without rain
There can be no joy without pain

There can be no laughter without a good cry
Without rain the world would be dry

There can be no rainbows without rain
There can be no loss without some gain

If you're feeling dreary and wonder why
Just look for a rainbow to appear in the sky

There can be no rainbows without rain
There can be no life without a stain

You may find no rainbow nor pot of gold
But take pleasure in seeking as the day unfolds

There can be no rainbows without rain
Always remember this simple refrain

Appreciate each moment given to you
All the sunny days and the rainy ones too
