Autumn: A Year In Verse

 September (Leaf Like)


Born of the Earth

Borne on the wind

Our leafy existence

Floating, swirling, winter bound

Downward, downward, ever down

To the earth from which they were drawn

As our spirits rise to meet their Breather!



October (Windborne Colors)


Windborne colors

Gently floating down

To kiss the hard October ground

Endless circlings of life and death

The light warm caress

Eternal rest!



November (Our Appleness)


The dual edged knife of difficulty

Carves through our tender skins

Leaving us naked

Before God and ourselves 

As we are chewed to the core!

Chronicles Of Me: I Just Want Water!

Setting, Camping Out: I found a bean can, about a quart size that we had had for our dinner rinsed it out, and filled it with water on the campfire we had cooked dinner on. I watched it until it boiled for about 15 minutes on the fire and then moved it to my canteen. I restarted the whole process and did the same 3 times until both my canteens were full along with the bean can. I kept myself awake a few hours until the first batch was cool enough to drink, refilled, and finally went to sleep! The others were content to drink colas and sodas, but I had to have water! This happened several times in my life. When we came back from the fields sometimes Dad would stop at the station and ask if we wanted a cold drink. All I wanted was water. Dad said, just get a coke, someday soon they will figure out how to charge us for water!

Our Song Will Be New

  Our Song Will Be New I'm not a prophet, but I know that its true Our song will be new. Someone once told me all the songs had been written But I hear something different when I see your faceI  I hear a song as new as tomorrow That even time can’t erase. I'm not a prophet, but I know that its true Our song will be new. Someone once told me all the scenes had been painted But I see something different when I see your eyes. I see a vista as fresh as the future As blue as the sky. I'm not a prophet, but I know that its true Our song will be new.
