Passages : October 2025

Summer wanes humbly

Autumn crawls in with fanfare

Soul feels nature’s pulse

Summer Leftovers

Seaforth Beach on Jordan Lake NC

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.

Letting Go

Autumn colors in Pittsboro NC

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.

Tranquility Reborn

Haw River near Bynum NC

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.
