Changing Seasons

Trees begin to shed
their clothing,
leaves change colors

turning brown then
gold,
falling from their
homes,
to be blown away.

they stand alone
bare in distress
for all to see.

the wind whistles
through the pines,
there's a chill in

The Willow Weeps

A weeping willow stands
looking out over the
waters.

gracefully bends as the
trade-winds whip through
her hair.

winter is quickly
approaching.

Icicles are forming
the days turn cold
nights are lonely.

but soon spring will
return
the weather begins to
warm.

Your Ladıes Face

Perhaps it's not the time and place
for you to meet, your ladies face.
Sometime when the day is fair
you'll look up, she'll be there.

There's nothing left for you to do
her eyes will be full of you.
Your heart will never thirst again
she will also be your friend.

Just be patient, wait and see
fate will play you a symphony.

Slipping Away

ships leaving the
port
destined for
foreign waters
fearful to tread
unknown territory

confidence
slipping away

A lovely blossom
in full bloom
heat scorching
the petals
lets go of the stem

graduallY
slipping away

Do You Remember?

Do you remember
our days in the
sun
Heat penetrating
us
hot and passoniate
yet so young, and
naive

the rain gently
falling
touching our faces
refreshing in its
wetness
stopping to embrace
clinging to each
other.

as a leaf clings to
the branch

Envy

People envy many
things
houses, lots
diamond rings.

Fancy clothes
takes their eye.
They sit, let
time go by.

Possession position,
earthly fame
Just to have a
well-known name.

These are nice I
agree
important things
aren't bought,
they're given free.

A Star Burst

Each
