Happy Halloween

Creepy crawly spider webs
Ghost and goblins in their head
Beware the night so full of dread
Apple bobbing, candy corn
Jack o lanterns light the way
Children so excited as they beg
To be delighted, but now
It’s time to go to bed;
And dream of all that they have done
They dream of ghosts and goblins
And the witches they have seen
And they’ll dream of trick or treating
On this Happy Halloween

Friday

Friday a day full of joy
For each working girl and boy
No alarm to be set for tomorrow
Pajamas all day is what we shall wear
Not a care in the world not even one sorrow
Free to roam and explore full of elation
No need to reflect on the week’s agitation
Oh Friday, oh Friday you are here to excite
You bring on the weekend ever so bright
We love you so much and all your delights
We know when you're here all is just right.

Trees

Trees fluttering in the wind
Whispering to each other 
Secrets that they hold
Never to be spoken 
Sturdy as it stands so bold
Strong, protecting never broken 
Under it you reminisce
Of all things so soft-spoken
Childhood bliss, a lover’s kiss
Secret moments never to be woken

Life

you go through life and do your best
people think they know you, 
their perceptions clouded by unreal expectations
but really what do they know? nothing, not one solitary thing, 
so they make up stories to appease their withering lives.

every person has two sides, dark and light, there is 
a duality ruled by the balance of darkness and light
one side we show the world, the other we keep 
hidden inside.  

each of us,  two people struggling with
a past, present and future, our past is a tricky thing
etched in stone rendered soft in our memories,
our present, tinged with the powerful knowledge
of what has been said or done, the future, ah the future,
the unknown, striving to make it grand by the
present and past and how we make our stand.

our present and future have many paths,
one wrong turn, one twist of fate and its back to
the starting point. one step in any direction can 
change the course of your life forever.

but, even the most powerful darkness can be defeated
by the tiniest spark of light, for someone lost
in darkness, a glimmer of kindness can be the 
beacon that guides them home.

A Friend

A friend has passed
A Long struggle with the big C
A fighter she was 
A cheery face she put on  
A painful plight  
A fight till the end 
A spirit and light that will shine eternal 
A friend we won’t see 
A God that has embraced her in His arms
A friend that will live in our hearts; blessed be

Summer Solstice

Summer creeps in with		
Unwavering heat beating down
Merciless upon face and core	
Minds racing thinking of 	
Every way to stay cool
River rafting, wading in cool water with
Some cold lemonade or iced tea
Ocean breezes, salty water	
Lapping at your heels while the
Sultry hot summer days cause
Trees to stand so silent
In the hazy summer air as the
Countryside is bathed in a brilliant sun
Engaging all in summer fun

September

August is almost a memory
Breezy cool nights are getting stronger
Colorful days of autumn soon will stay
Days are shorter, nights are longer
Each falling leaf brings us closer to winter
Finally time to put the lawnmowers away

Golden leaves flutter gently to the ground
Harvest season will be makings its round
Indian summer still has a chance
Jump into that pile of leaves with a prance
Kaleidoscope of colors, a sight so serene
Leave your worries behind you and celebrate
Michaelmas Day – as the harvest comes to an end

Nature’s palette as seen from above 
Orchards begin to bloom with so much love
Put away your summer clothes and 
Quietly admire the most colorful of seasons, a
Riot of colors on mountains so high
Shades of autumn brings sweet cool fall air
Tasking us to look up at the harvest moons flair

Under your feet the crackly crunch of leaves can be heard
Vivid and stark the trees should not be disturbed
Wind howling through them, echoing the past 
Xerothermic days didn’t even last
Yielding to the season of storms without a fuss
Zany zero temps are almost upon us.

January

January is heralded with many a cheer
Announcing the beginning of the New Year
Numbing the memories of the old, as it disappears
Uncaring the bitter cold envelopes like a prickly drape
Absolute in its intent to send the frosty chills down your nape
Relentlessly revealing winter’s wondrous delights, as we
Yearn for yesterday’s warm summery nights

Insanity

I let this man into my life 
Narcissistic, pompous, preening 
Speaking foolishly of things unfair
As I didn't get the meaning
Nothing spoken but hot air
Incredible enormous vanity 
Things said I couldn't bear
You know it was INSANITY

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays to all,  as we rejoice and celebrate
A time of magic and wonder in our lives to date
People of all nations joyously cheering
Partaking and enjoying the delights so endearing
Yule logs in the fire abundantly blazing
Heavenly warmth through the hearth, so amazing
Ornaments and tinsel dancing on the tree
Lights brightly sparkling sharing so much glee
Indulging all the senses with wonder and amazement
Drawing family in with love and jubilation, quietly
Announcing their arrival with  hearts full of praise 
Young ones having so much fun entertaining everyone
Silent becomes the night, with heavenly peace and calm for days
