Sunburst

            Lights blazing trail

            Rainbow colors brimming

            Splashing red orange happiness

            autumn.

At Play

            
Soft light sun warms fawns at play in the
            morn. 

            Watchfully, lovingly, carefully 

            Doe mother, nose nudging, gives guidance. 

            Leads her fawns to fruit on earth's green floor. 

            Hungrily, playfully, happily 

            They enjoy a bounty of apples. 

            Said fruit is mine I share with sheer joy, 

            Giddily, blissfully, thoroughly. 

            Such visits speak warmly and soulful.

Remembrances



            On hot summer nights

            Sitting on the porch

            Absorbing a velvet night

            Into my wrinkled skin of ages

            Rocking on that old chair

            Grandpa built with his own hands

            While gazing at a supper dish moon

            I recall with a smile resembling boyhood

            Running through Grandpa's cornfield

            Many a July day filled with freedom

            Arms wide, rustling the husks

            Sun making me feel yellow and glad

            Its glow brimming my youth with vigor.

            The passing stalks were like the years

            Each lasting its own short season

            Enjoyed and soon forgotten

            While anxiously awaiting the next.
