A porch is buried in wet leaves and broken twigs... Quail scratch at the dirt looking for a sign of life in front of the empty house A squirrel climbs high while ladders rest against trees... Fragrance of apple greets me like yesterday's child as I lean against old dreams From grimy windows I watch the breeze stir whirlwinds... My thoughts spin like leaves, as I rest my head against the glass remembering yesterday ~

You certainly have a skill for writing the most touching verse. Sometimes I just sit and read through your body of work. There should be a book! RAY
