The First Hint of Fall
Writing poetry is an alternative form of self-expression. Every poem is a learning experience - a creative process to enrich my life.
Mother Earths Fall Celebration
The first hint of fall arrives
We slip into the leeward side of the seasons
The Autumnal Equinox
Enveloping cold fronts from the north
The sky regains its deeper hue
Crimson spider lilies dance on long stalks
Humingbirds visit for a nectar's drink
We walk through the woods as autumn leaves fall
Mother Earths fall celebration lies before us
A time for turning inward
The days grow shorter
the night grows colder
The flames from the fireplace
Rekindle a passion for ideas
Embers fertilize seeds of change
A harvest awaits us
Unity between ourselves and Mother Earth
Creating balance in our lives
Harmony in natural ways
A sacred entity
The autumnal equinox
The first day of fall
An equal duration of day and night
Mother Earth's natural rhythms
We welcome fall with colors gold
Every leaf in the forest
Every blade in the field
Nature erupts in all her glory.
