Fragile World

Moving together, we pass through time,

Step by step, no reason nor rhyme.
Pondering on our existence here,
For nothing is certain, nothing is clear.

There are cracks in our foundations, cracks in our base,

This eroding, fragile world in which we are placed.
Immeasurable repairs are needed to restore
Our amazing earth that we should adore.

I feel we are breaking in every which way,

Moral fibres stretched thin and beginning to fray.
We have the gift of a life, a planet too,
Treasured by many but sadly too few

Portrait Of Fall

Looking out my window

In October's golden light,
I see a beauty unsurpassed,
A truly lovely sight.

Leaves are saying soft good-byes

As they come floating down
To make a nature's carpet
Of yellow, red, and brown.

Mountain tops, now turned to white,

Forewarn of winter chills,
While trees, like golden rivers,
Wind their way up through the hills.

Throughout our world's creation

You will ever find it thus,
Kaleidoscopes of color,
In God's hand, the artist's brush.

Between Earth And Sky

Between earth and sky

Cities rise, old ways die
People wander, searching far
Wishing upon every star

Under sea and sun

Dolphins swim, people run
Sailing far, sailing wide
A place to be free, a place to hide

Beneath star and moon

Secrets keep, romances bloom
The nightly song a serenade
A kiss, a touch, a promise made
Through valley and under hill
People roam, seeking still
Not knowing what they'll find
But needing to leave their life behind

One day when things get too much

You'll drop everything, your technology crutch
You'll pack a bag and leave your home
Head to nature and gladly roam
