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

Nothing beats a cup of coffee on a cool fall day, especially if you're by the lake...

raindrops, falling leaves

cup of tea to warm body

appreciation

cherished Autumn memory

eternal hearth for the soul

Autumn Tea Outdoors

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

December 10, 2018 / Deborah / 7 Comments

MLMM Sunday Writing Prompt – A Touch Of Frost

Inspiration for the prompt: A Late Walk by Robert Frost

A Winter Walk....

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.
