Thank You


Green
in the woods of life
memories
float down
like
the leaves of Fall,
bringing with them
stories
of leaf births,
parent branches,
courting of flowers
and
protecting the fruit.

Cycles of progress,
as she sweeps
the carpet of leaves
in her path
Callie bounding
in the clearing.

A Spring to plant
a Summer to water
a Fall to clean-up
and a Winter
to enjoy
the Whole Foods
of her life
organic in her garden.

She sits enjoying
her hot tea,
reading,
looking
across
the corn fields,
once crowded
with young kernels,
but now
giving her a look
into the Future.....

Balisha and Sharon, thank you for visiting. Dear Suranga - how in the world did she find me all the way from India?? No words to describe her talent and to think she has bonded with the woman in the woods :)

Its a tribute to the wonderful journal being maintained, that it speaks to me so much, and I am able to put words to it and post it when everything is so fresh in the mind.

That is so amazing. I thought it was a friend, perhaps of your son. She sure reached into your heart and brought it to words.....
