What Truly Warms

Come join us!

Cook me up a summer afternoon and I may go swallow a river in Colorado

I would rather sip cool breezes from an autumn afternoon

 than gulp dry skies of a blazing hot morning

somewhere the clouds have mercy on starving fields in summer

as I long for crisp winter mornings to warm my soul.

Her Name Is Autumn

No spring nor summer’s beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autumnal face....
~John Donne




I wait for her quietly like a leaf upon the wind.
Longing for her true presence to awaken me again.
Then slowly she enters like a princess into a room.
Glowing in auburn grace that speaks to me like the moon.
October she whispers much to my surprise.
It is my birthday she goes on and then
before I know it
she leaves me with a sigh.
