Nature's way

~i am totally enthralled with Spring when it arrives and mine

eyes open wide to the colors of Nature's dress,

i love Summer and the warmth of that golden eye that gives

nutriment and verve to flora and fauna and warmth to my

spirit,

but then i know that Autumn is the rebuilding, the changing

of attire with all its rustic brilliance as it awaits the artic cold

that's soon to come our way,

and then the gray of a Winter's day only to be ornamented

by the festive holidays of 'man's' lighted array,

never disavow the season you are present in by saying 'i look

forward to', for you will never know the truth of Nature...

this is Nature's way~

i baste in my quiet

 

I baste in my quiet, my solitude,

soothing my spirit by Chopin’s 

Nocturne No. 20 in C sharp minor 

performed by Menahem Pressler 

Then i listen to Jimmy Buffet who’s 

words and melodies transform my 

recliner to promontories by the sea, 

crashing ashore in ebb and flow 

 

And with this ‘awe’, although these 

past few weeks much lament is still 

raw, I find joy sitting with my three 

rescues and life partner, my lovely wife
