farewell to the summer

yes, you were a hot and humid one

somedays i got upset with you

but others i just loved that you were here

i’ll remember you as mornings and evenings

in my garden

 vegetables and flowers

smiling at me

and the sun bathing my golden skin

thoughts

they abruptly come

stealing a space in the mind

a space that wasn’t empty at all

but they are ruthless

they take us down without asking permission

isn’t worth to try controlling them

they become stronger with each block

the best is to let them come and go

we aren’t our thoughts

early mornings in the garden

a meditation per si

each step

each breath

each tiny droplet

bath me with joy

sharing the space

each stage has its own

beauty and fragrance

little by little

transforming

and gifting our senses

stop. breathe. listen.

to the sounds of nature

to your intuition

to the tiny bits of joy blooming around you

happy weekend!

i know what i need

but

sometimes it’s easier to give up

than to keep up trying

to fulfill my needs

Laying down words

From my soul to the paper

Secrets are written

Wishes are made

Trying to make sense

To go ahead

Without looking back

Fresh

Organic and fresh

Little pleasure

Nature’s gift

Harvested from my garden

Delicious in a salad

cawing voices
upon the treetops
announcing mystery and magic
fascinating creatures

A tiny poem for Sue’s challenge this week.

    Elizabeth, I love how “fall” moves from colorful leaves to letting go, with “fall down” giving the ending a surprising…
