Or is truth intuition

Leaves falling
Birds migrating
Friends gather
’round the fire pit.
Hot chocolate
at football games.
Fall is finally here.

She says " I am proud of you''
My Granddaughter sprinkles tinsel,
all around the dullest of days.

Premium Member Three Lines For Sister Loretta and Two For Me

Where are you sister?
Ground chews sweet leaves 
Wind fans fall tree particles.

Sufis whip up Lily air.
I know the Loves are always.

All the songs have been sung
All the words have been written
We only make arrangements...

Not in orderly fashion
I've been amongst the best
And still unmasked them
Ignorance is bliss
But still I show compassion

the
silver blade rivers
that
shaped
these
young pines
that
quiver
from
the 
frosty mist
are
the
ageless
evergreen lines of wonder
