Transitioning In The Rain

The rain is light, warm, and steady

It’s April…the month that I was born

I’d been wandering about, waiting to transform

Ready to embrace a new destiny. My toes were numb, and gushy.

My feet; now solidified. I hear birds chirping, a tune especially for me.

I’m suddenly feeling free. Oh yes! There’s a reflection, and it is one of me.Such peace to have the mind-drift.

…Transitioning now…Wow! Becoming a tree.

Returning to a place, from which I came. You see…it always was a piece in me.

With leaves that wave

On a trunk craved

Our initials

We used to sit under our favorite

…Tree…

And watch, and listen to the

…Mockingbird…

Sing

It sang a tune of love and grace

&

I could see the joy upon your

…Face…

The tree has long ago been

…Gone…

But the mockingbird still sings our loveable

…Song…

Sitting On A Limb

If I could sit up in a tree

And watch you from a distance

I’d never take a chance

To break the limb that

Holds me near

November Chill

As the days get

Shorter…

November chills the

Air…

Erasing the hues of

Autumn…

With each passing day

Dusk…

Hampers the way

Once…

Brightened by a longer

Sunrise…

The trees will soon be

Naked…

Warmed from nature’s

Bark…

Welcoming the winter

Season…

The Climb

Sitting on the ground, leaning against a tree

An inclination sparked in me, I stood up

And looked up at the sky, don’t ask me why

Just on a whim, without reason or rhyme

I begin to climb, I tried, and slipped

But held my grip, the wind started to whip

It helped build momentum, for my feeble climb

To reach the heavens

The next thing I know, I felt a bump….

With a thump…

I am back on the ground

Nothing is around, it is just me with my

Thoughts of The Climb
