Walking what seems like
an endless path
of unspoken words
a heavy burden
tears not cried
holding my heart prisoner
awaiting release
from life’s storm
yet grateful for
the comfort of
Autumn’s hearth
warming my soul

Autumn’s Gift
farewell to Autumn
for Winter dawns in the morn
yet within the soul
Autumn’s warm hearth still remains
to carry us through cold days

a cup of tea in early morn
a breath of Autumn brisk
in my heart a hearth of warm
in the joy of season to frisk
to my spirit these favorite things adorn.

When Sober Spirits Fly
MLMM Sunday Writing Prompt – A Touch Of Frost
Inspiration for the prompt: A Late Walk by Robert Frost
A touch of frost
does my heart imbue
when sober spirits fly
beyond to what is unseen
Flailing every thought in my mind
causing each moment to be
like a hard days work
attempting to capture a breath…
Then, in a morn’s new mercy
the sober spirits return with
the heat of sun upon their wings
and melts my heart’s frost into
A love that ignites my hearth
and once again this soul is
insulated, protected from the
world’s brutal Winter.
