Last Day of Summer

 video

crickets and mushrooms
September rain
last day of summer
Moon's on the wane

first thing tomorrow
autumn arrives
goodbye to everything,
except what survives

daylight's reduction
temperature's too
here by the mountains
under the blue

gaps in the fluffy
clouds drifting by
gifts from the ocean
which is nearby

bears in the forest
ravens above
preparing for winter
a season of love

a season to cuddle
to warmly embrace
the cycles of living
which we all face

A River Flows

 video

 a river flows, an endless stream
with thoughts it grows into a dream
in a meadow, a field of reeds
blooming yellow with countless seeds
-
every flower, stem with thorn
has the power to be reborn...
in a meadow, a field of reeds
feeling mellow among the weeds -

a river flows...water streams
moving on, reflecting beams
from beyond the world we know
bouncing off the water's glow

swirling, twirling splish and splash
molecules of water crash
into each other, into the air
into the ground and everywhere -

in a meadow, a field of reeds
feeling mellow in the weeds
reflected sunlight in my eyes
it seems I might be surprised

by swirling, twirling liquid lush
water meadow's endless rush
relaxed and calm I slip away
on a warm late summer's day
