In Season

 

A woman of autumn, I am, 

in this third stage of my being,

lightly seasoned with sage,

 clearly no longer green.

'Mountains in November', Julia Lesnichy. A landscape
 of  Dewena's beloved and beautiful, Blue Ridge Mountains.

But I know a wise, wintry soul

 from the south, who gently calms

stormy hearts from afar, in a manner

sweetly reminiscent of spring, 

for the blooming smiles and

  warmth that she brings.

'Carolina Wren in Autumn', Janet Zeh

Our minimalist, mutual friend, 

whose yearning and yen for 

wabi sabi and zen, fittingly 

nests in the home of a wren, 

and whatever the season,

meets and greets the world 

 from her window.

This post is dedicated to two sweet hearts,

my friends, Dewena and Tammy. 

Wishing them both a speedy recovery!

Thanks for visiting 

and have a lovely week!

Escape to Plaka, and A Prayer

A dilapidated cafe, Plaka, Crete

When things get a little hectic, 

or worry is wearing me down,

I drown myself in distress,

or, I get out of town.

 I am always drawn to the sea, 

(perhaps it's the Pisces in me),

 

Fishing boats, anchored and awaiting new passengers, Plaka, Crete

 and so, when that crystal hue

of Aegean blue is in view,

 my mood magically lifts,

my perspective shifts,

and suddenly, I am

floating in a sea of hope.

Please join me,

and say a prayer for my

sweet friend, Tammy,

witty writer of the Peanut,  

who is faced with some

challenges of her own 

at this time.

 

Thanks for visiting

and have a wonderful week!
