A CHANGE OF SEASONS
Behind my eyes silently the pictures unroll,
Silent streets caught in silent frames,
An unsympathetic wind ushering falen leaves
on their last journey towards
eternal rest and oblivion.

The white canopy descends
soft as a lover's hand on her soft pale cheek,
wiping off pearl-like tears, saying
"All is well. this is but a change of seasons,
a turn of the wheel."

And children, groups of two or three
treading along, burying half of their growing bodies
in the white softness, their laughters frozen
into geometric crystals, sparkles of their eyes
dulled as they also know:
they come, they go, they are replaced.

Ten thousand lights,
burst into flames of yellow and red and fluoresant blue
in total silence
a befitting salute
a solemn Requiem for every passing soul...

GROUNDED ANGEL
I know her well
I've seen her soul
Her kind heart shines
A beacon in the darkness

She cares like no other
Whether she has met them or not
She touches many lives
With the softness of her words

Some day the Earthly light will dim
And the world will grow dark
But the heavens will shine bright
As they welcome home a once grounded angel
And one for Contessa (yes, it's the same Contessa from my links page) She is a very special lady and one I am honored to know
CONTESSA
Her tool is a caring heart
Her strength is her love
She comforts those in need
And supports those who fall

Her soul radiates compassion
She welcomes all who come
Offering words of kindness
And helping them find their way

She works her magic daily
Helping others to look their best
Bringing joy to those she's touched
And light to darkened lives
