Rain drops drumming down on the rooftop
The rhythm matching feelings of the day
Fast, slow, happy, sad, depressed, neutral
All a flood of emotions that over flowed throughout the day
Listen to the calming sound thumping down from above you
In the warm embrace of the candle light you sit and watch
Listening and watching the storm outside, enjoying the cozy feeling
The feeling that the coat of rain makes as you listen to it come down around you
Not able to touch you the music flows through the strength of the storm
Everyone watches from the windows or under the coverings
Listening and playing along with the beat of the storm in your mind

Vibrant Changing colors all around us
The right gold, read, and orange hanging above our heads
Looking up to the brightness of the sky and seeing the rainbow of the tree
Reminds me that it’s my favorite time of the year
Fall brings a certain sort of peace and easiness
A breathe of fresh air after the summer heat gets done cooking the earth
Enjoying the crisp air when you walk outside or leave the windows open is one of the most pleasurable things there can be
But seeing the trees change to a different color, and have it be perfectly natural, is something very special
Right now it’s spring and the blue of the clouds followed by the bright sunny day is beautiful…
But then the nights grow cold and the wind is chilly, the rain drops fall
The flowers are blooming and coming into the glory of the sunshine during the day,
but sometimes wither away at night
Spring is a tricky time, but another time of change and colors blooming all around you
Rainbows and thunderstorms, filled with illuminant blasts of lighting across the sky
The changing of colors, fall or spring, fill you with the blessing of change.

The rose petals fall one by one leaving only the thorned handle
You grab it and it pricks the blood from you hand
You throw it but it sticks, you stomp it into the dirt
And turn to walk away but….stop, looking back, now nearly destroyed
The memories of the beautiful petals remain, the vibrant colors in your mind
The soft, perfumed beauty that the stem once held
Seeing what’s left in the dirt makes you pick it up
Feeling the blood pricked once again
Not able to put it back down
Not able to throw it away and begin again
Wishing you could watch it bloom into the beautiful flower it once was
You save it…carrying it…holding it….wishing

A peek at spring was here today
Warm weather and loving the idle strip tease
The snow is gone, the grass and trees bare to the sun that shines
The sun shining down on us, reminding us of what will be here soon
Trying to remember the sun, heat and green grass
We see some of it today and hope the freeze over will not come again
Is it a tease without touching? Or is it there to stay for the season?
Can we expect the same tomorrow, or was it a one day offering?
A pleasant reminder or a tease?
Leaving you to wait for the whole pleasure
We wait wondering if we can stand the drastic change and backward motion
Can we bare to see the winter wind come back and the isolation set back in around the tree that appears dead?
Or can we wait to see the green grass spring up and the leaves sprout out to fully enjoy the warmth?

The white bleakness blurs the window as you try to peer outside
The sunny south today, is nothing but a lie
Putting all hopes of the sun coming out aside
Not knowing how to proceed, not being able to leave
Stuck inside and alone, the gray sky all you can see
Sitting down with a movie and a cup of tea
Trying to cheer up and enjoy the time off
Pulling the pillow close and embracing how soft
The boredom growing tough
All alone and nothing but the white fuzz outside
Nobody coming by
Nobody would even try
Too dangerous on these unknown roads
People not use to the ice and the cold
Going out is only for the bold
Being safe and keeping warm
Nothing today is true to form
Who could have saw this storm?

The crisp cool air of the autumn changes meets you as you open the door
Seeing the bright vibrant colors rustle in the branches up above brings a peacefulness
A break from the heat and suffocating humidity, it’s like the first fresh air you’ve had in months
The fall season brings a peace to your mind as you take your time walking outside
Enjoying the change that is all around you in nature
Feeling the change through your whole body, knowing that soon it will be winter
But this moment is perfect, relaxing, and beautiful

The crashing waves, beat the rhythm you hear in your head
Circling around your thoughts one more time
Listening to the gentle crash upon the beach
The birds sore above the swirling madness
Jealous of their freedom I admire them from below
Listening again to the sound of the water I wait
Sitting and waiting, listening and admiring
I see a fish jump in the water as a dolphin chases it into the air
Trapped, fear and successful triumph all in one single snap shot
Watching nature swirl around as the waves continue to crash
Sometimes gently upon the sand
Sometimes hard against the rocks
Wondering what kind of crashing emotion will be mine.

The darkness and the storm sneak in, closer and closer, to capture you where you can’t lay in peace, ever haunted by the thoughts and emotions floating aimlessly in the mind ready to strike just as you feel a peaceful moment approaching. The emotions swirling into a tornado of thundering loudness within the mind, the lightning strikes the nerves that are attached to the feelings they are pulling on, blowing in, consuming….A devouring presence that refuses to be ignored as you sit and squirm and spin, trying to release yourself from the icy steal hold. The candle flame flickers as your only light tries to stay alive under the covers of the storm, the clouds chilling your bones. As you don’t want to see but look anyway, curiosity overcoming your good judgment you see the nightmare come alive.

The weather is changing but so are the people around you, never knowing where things are going or what you’re going to get. You keep on moving because it’s all you can do, move forward one step at a time and look around to see who’s with you on your journey in this world. Not know if there is another you watch as the grass dies and the leaves change. The temperature rises and falls. Walking down the path as the leaves drift past you in their spiraling downward fall to the ground of the path that we walk along. Walking on the fresh crunch of the leaves makes you wonder what will happen to you when you fall down and hear the rushing past you on the ground, not even taking notice of what’s there and what’s not. People walking by and you feel like you’re in an invisible haze that isn’t seen by anyone else. Everyone so intent on their plans that they can’t stop to take a look around, can’t stop to notice the change that is happening right in front of them, in this world that they are a part of and yet are so easily disconnected from. Walking along you see the two paths collide with the beauty of the changing fall, not wanting to stumble you take your time…reaching out to your side for another hand you find the one who came along, maybe not the person that you thought but someone who cared enough to notice that you were wandering away in the midst of all of this change. The challenge of acceptance is among us as the weather tries to make up its mind, plunging around to confuse all of those caught up in the heat and the rush to those that are freezing and dying at night. Walking along in this seasonal change, I have to wonder if I’m the only one that notices the yellow that use to be green.

The Butterfly floats to and fro
Fluttering from here to there
Happily enjoying the solitude of the moment
Entering the new life alone and flying on alone
Enjoy the sunshine but looking for more
Looking for something to share with another
The brightly colored insect flutters along the short journey given
The world an overwhelming undertaking as it is released from its restraints
But still it flies on, happy and carefree, enjoying all along the way
Always believing that whatever is missing will be found in this vast world
Leaving others behind and envious of its faith in true happiness that will be found
Found in another when the moment is right and they are both free of restraints
Moving forwards together from the cocoon and into the world to find the rest of life together
