Outside my window...

The Feel of September…

outside my window

the sky darkening

the winds sounding

rustling be the leaves

the deep green of the towering oak

the blushing anew of the dogwood

this the twilight hour

a sweet solitude

a gentle silence

a sigh, a pause…

SEPTEMBER ... endings...beginnings... Summer to Fall...

... with blush ever anew...

leaves, branch and bough

in homage to the season's vow

a season with blush ever anew

crimson, russet, golden tone and hue

a palette of color be this joyful array 

known as the delights of a September day

brilliant be nature's blessed bounty all

melodies of color sing out sing out, 'tis coming of Fall.

This day calls...

Reflection...

the storms that have come to be

the ravages of rain, winds, water and sea

the loss calls heart to heart

from which rebuilding bears its start

community to community in many a need

let charity, faith and love be our shared creed.

RESONANT...

The glory of SELF... the grace of BEING... 

this the RESONANT...known in...

       

 Revelations    
    Eternity

       Spirit 
          Omnipresence
             Nature
               Ascension
                  Nurturance
                     Truth ... in all blessings BE.

A Sunday in September...

Outside my Window... in Tappan, New York...

the towering dogwood in blushing tones of crimson

the song bird singing its song ever so sweetly

the scamper of squirrels

the dew touched grass in splendors of green

the sky alight with the promise of the day

the gifts, the gifts, expressions of The Way.
