Nature's Pulse

Summer wanes humbly

Autumn crawls in with fanfare

Soul feels nature’s pulse

Letting Go

Autumn’s vibrant letting go eases hearts

And bespeaks release from shackles of strife

Foolishly revered on vile social ramparts.

Though rubbish, strife hinders good will in life.

Tranquility Reborn

These days humankind breathes a collective sigh

And gives good-natured hearts free rein worldwide,

To dance once more just like a butterfly,

Rapt with joy, on summer’s flowered hillside.

Dream Weaver

Cast not aside mindful twilight thinkers,

Night owls who ruminate, burn midnight oil,

For life’s journey requires dream weavers

To help alleviate life’s mortal coil.
