Evening Air

Cool evening air 

brushed my hair 

caressed my face. 

Promised rain hesitated 

while I swept up 

deep red crisp leaves. 

“A perfect night….a perfect forever”

~ Mary E. Pearson,  The Kiss of Deception

On an Afternoon Walk ~ Autumn Glow

 

autumn glows 

on bush and hedge,

while early afternoon sun 

shines on dark purple berries 

for an avian feast

“I cannot endure to waste anything so precious 

as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.”

~ Nathaniel Hawthorne,  

(1804 ~ 1864)

Living in the Moment

Calm and quiet 

after a day filled 

with energy and life 

each piece from early 

to this moment cherished 

for each separate moment. 

Living in the moment is 

like sliding shining beads 

on colourful yarn. 

As days and weeks pass 

a tapestry evolves that is 

a life shared and lived.

“Forever is composed of nows.”

~ Emily Dickinson, poet

1830 ~ 1886
