May you feel the warmth of the sun and its light,
as a kindness bestowed upon you
See something new and fascinating that makes you feel alive
Allow a sense of calmness without consideration 
Be who you are, feeling no reason to to hide

Touch another in a way to let them know how special they are
Speak words that give meaningful love to lie upon the soul
Gaze upon a flower and realize Gods gifts of beauty
And may your eyes be open, for all there is to show

If a tear falls from you, from what has touched your heart
And emotions are part of the moment, that you’re within
Give in to them as being true to yourself
Without feeling the need, to ever be forgiven

Provide a smile for others, that gives assurance of their goals
Walk gracefully on your path, throughout your day
Offer a joyful heart to those whom you may encounter
And may God lay his blessings upon you, while on your way

gradually night settles in and gentler minds are put asway 
Thoughts of the day become the past, as the the light slowly fades away

eyes close. . .and a sigh emanates as if coming from my soul
and the spinning and twisting of the day, finally begins to slow

the stars grace the moon as they dangle, in the darkness of the sky’s 
Perhaps mystically providing dreams to be imagined, when cast upon your eyes
 
lights that are provided won’t disappear, even on a cloudy night 
in restless times, they’ll be a light, that shines very bright 

These are thoughts that God has provided, so that I might see
In hoping that you too will trust in him, and let the BLESSINGS BE!

May you awake
with music in your heart,
joy on your mind,
and feel only
happiness surrounding

Where colors are
both calming and bright,
and the sweetness
of fragrant aromas,
fill your senses

May a gentle touch
be felt upon your soul,
as a gift not expected,
and may there be a dance
that carries you along,
with freedom in your step

With moments
strung together,
of blue skies now
and on the horizon,
with thoughts of God
and Love in harmony

No rhyme here,
only a wish
for you today.

AMEN❤️🌟

I see the leaves rustle,
brown tips starting to show,
a few beginning their graceful decent,
to the earth below

the breeze gives a sense,
of that which is approaching,
in a melancholy feeling,
steady and quite slow

Awakening to the crispness of the morning,
a slower move into its light,
darkness closer in tow

Time seems to move a little slower,
and perhaps is a more adjourned way,
a gentler way to flow

That feeling of loneliness
like an old friend left behind,
that will not be seen soon again

While still enjoying
feelings in the remembrance,
not how it ended,
but how it all began

There is a subtle feeling
that seems enchanting,
but welcoming to the soul

A bit of a mystery,
one I once encountered,
one that feels good to know

As grand trees reach,
to tickle the sky,
revealing themselves,
their tiaras of beauty,
soon to be gone

And patiently await
for another time to display,
a new and majestic crown

While the smaller friends
within earths domain,
will begin to wither and recede

Will await warmer times,
to provide the adornment,
to their friends
the stately rising trees

And so the seasons
promotion of its place,
stirring all the senses,
will await for a time to come again,
and be graced by God’s gifts
and his presence.

There is a feeling of calm upon the soul,
in the first autumns cool morning,
a moving on perhaps
from a summer’s entertainment,
to a much slower way of time

Inviting one to come and settle,
and soon admire its colorful display,
the handing off to carry on,
a different state of mind

The shadows loom earlier,
as nights begin to lengthen
and daylight cedes its way
a log is presented to its place,
allowing sparks once again
a chance to play

The possibility of a book to be chosen,
to while away the time
Reclining in the easy chair,
maybe sugar plumb fairy’s dancing,
upon one’s idle mind

The days get cooler and crisp,
with thoughts of picking up a rake,
or maybe a cup of hot cocoa,
to think through it all,
while you take a break😊

Soon masked bandits,
ghosts and a princess or two,
will be knocking on the door,
with baskets and bags half full,
‘please a little more’

And just around the corner,
a feast will soon be shared,
with family and friends,
prepared with love and care

And they’ll be that first sight of white
that will soon adorn outsides presence,
the thoughts coming up quick,
of wrapping all the presents

But for now let’s enjoy these subtle changes,
as they drift in on all of us
and the blessings of another year,
and the weather ( us midwesterners )
Love to discuss.
