Tapestry

Falling leaves Wind blown wafers; Hidden message ~~~~~~~~~ Old tree speaks Ancient thoughts linger; Unheard echoes ~~~~~~~~~ Teary rain drops Earth embraces fall; Floral blossom chorus ~~~~~~~~~ Small toddler Walks and stumbles; Loving hands stand guard ~~~~~~~~~ Old lady struggles Heavy groceries; No helping hand ~~~~~~~~~ By this pathway Fatigue takes a break; Stone bench lull ~~~~~~~~~ A nasty nightmare Terrified awakening; Full bladder calling ~~~~~~~~~ Joy wears a face Mother and father; Cute baby bundle ~~~~~~~~~ School boys running Shouting with glee; A wild tumbling awaits ~~~~~~~~~ Peace descends Weathered wooden bench; Rest between takes ~~~~~~~~~ TV sitcom moment We speak in silence; Smiles sweetly punctuate ~~~~~~~~~ Moody Monday Too much tension; Dazzling agendas ~~~~~~~~~ Lost in this crowd Lunchtime congregation; Food court sermon ~~~~~~~~~ Poster child smiles Some old time campaign; Wondering aloud ~~~~~~~~~ Birthday party A year older; Not much wiser ~~~~~~~~~ Windy rains come Wind chimes sing; Crazy frenzy ~~~~~~~~~ Time after time Not much time; Too much work ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 17 March 2015 Singapore
