Swirling Leaves
The leaves were changing as I walked my way,
All different colors they were today.
I felt a calm presence I’ve felt before.
A feeling of peace I couldn’t ignore.
Colorful leaves fell from the tall oak trees,
The flowers were alive with buzzing bees.
The life in nature seemed a part of me.
The creation from God for all

Extinction - The Speech of Artemis
I cannot curse as others can,
I remedy, not hate.
Too well I know that beast in Man
That ever forms their fate.
Didst once we think that reason made
The mortal struggle cease or fade?
So lonesome were we that we sought
To give to dust that weapon, thought?
O, happy gods, who at our ease
May tend to treasures as we please!
Nor

Snow Falling, Swirling
(My inspiration is number 3, the Snowman winter scene.)
I love snow falling, watching it blow and swirl in drifts,
like a dance- snowflakes prance and twirl all night;
I walk, a nighthawk as the flakes unfurl their fragile gifts.
And at dawn, I yawn and crawl to my bed for some sleep,
I dream ... of white

The Dance of Illusion and Truth
In a world of synthetic dreams,
Where nothing is quite as it seems,
Emotions emanate and rise,
Painting stories across the skies.
Swirling thoughts in a misty haze,
Drift through memory's rustic maze.
A timeless dance of then and now,
Where past and present somehow bow.
Illusions play their tricky game,
Reality's not quite the same.
Yet

One For Mulder and Scully
Dazzling, synthetic lights emanate from polished silver,
Penetrating my deep, chemically induced sleep.
Blinking sensitive eyes, I raise my swirling head.
I sit up and walk into a corridor of glass display cases.
Rustic farm tools, mannequins wearing clothing from the past and present fashions, pottery from long ago…
A collection of some kind, featuring timeless

Swirling Sweetness of Poetry
~ Swirling, Sweetness of Poetry ~
Just think, it’s the start of a shining, dewy today!
There is magic in your fingers, so write without delay.
In this world, we, with cotton- candy dreams, spin the future ahead,
After all, you are fully alive, you are neither a corpse, nor are you dead!
This world belongs to the living, we

Emigrating Birds Swirling
Emigrating birds swirling
in perfect, frantic sequence;
how delightful and exciting
is to watch their dance!
Who doesn't cherish their return?
It's the beauty and the essence
observed at a minimal distance...
as their wide wings turn auburn!

Swirling Aural Vision
I
awake
to swirling
aural vision
a dawn nirvana
dazzling shades crisp allure
from earth to faraway sky
clouds that drift, float and harmonise
birds that scatter leafs on green clad trees
imposing mountain peak’s peerless zenith
Early morning horde salute day ahead
zestful footstep mandate for gumption
fervour under the sun-drenched copse
Water sprinkler’s icy spray
cast in rainbow droplet
wet haired strollers grin
beyond a douse
dream

The wind is swirling in the Tree: Harley Davison motor bike riders are coming to town
The sun is melting at a hundred and five degrees and the wind is swirling in the trees, the petals are opening wide in the skies and the motorcycles are rolling by. Hundreds of them in line rolling down the street in a similar pattern and they are riding in an orderly fashion, men and

swirling seven-stars
Life is never a planned ride
on a magical carpet,
that awakens jasmine
dreams lost in the brisk air.
We weave our own
zest of zephyr,
to tailor-stitch a tapestry;
buttoned with zeal,
cuff-linked with faith,

Snowflurries Swirl
Snowflurries Swirl
Snow falls inside the glass globe:
A swimming, swirling vision
Where four youngsters pose frozen
In their run to leap to a win
For the longest sliding glide
Along an icy, country road
Where no traffic flows;
Near a row of evergreens
that do not grow;
Overseen by a pair of pinpoint specks
for the black,

Swirling the Soapsuds
Down where the oregano is blossoming bright
The roses have grown quiet in their delight
Daylilies are shooting up spikes with buds
I truly long for sweet love, as I swirl the soapsuds

The Butterfly Cocooned
The Butterfly Cocooned
Noon
Beneath higher twig tips,
my heart flutters
Near converging branches.
My cocoon
Rests
Mid-high the strength
and distinctive character
Of a gnarly tree. Embracing me.
This, my home…Cocoon.
Night.
This essential place,
Protecting
Above the swirling world,
Puzzling with its mixing motions
Of lights, colors, temperatures,
Until I think I shall just stay
In this cocoon
For all the

Ghosts of Her Past
It's early in the morning and she's never been to bed,
swirling and twirling words are circling in her head..
She wishes to peel back time and live days in reverse.
She wonders if this life has been a gift or a curse.
Too many days filled with anxiety and dread.
Resilience was her brilliance people always said.
A

Swirling In the Wind
Autumn leaves will soon be falling
Summer holds on a little while
Winter snow will soon be calling
Autumn leaves will soon be falling
While on the ground leaves are sprawling
Yet Spring will come once more to smile
Autumn leaves will soon be falling
Summer holds on a little while
