A pink Zinnia flower still holding on. This week’s weather will probably destroy them, so until next year I can enjoy the photos #PinkMon #macroMonday #bloomscrolling #EastCoastKin #photography

The hills drink abendrot wine,
their edges softening
while the sun lowers its cup.
A willow toasts in the breeze,
its leaves the color of sunset,
the earth breathing slower,
swallowing the last taste of fire.

November rain
an everlasting love
singing through
a bitter autumn
hands held
in long coats
amid promises of
a heart's revolution
under retreat of
fresh falling snow

Notes bled compassion, colouring autumnal leaves, carving beech bark's patterns, singing a fiery sunset.
Literature can describe, but it cannot convey the numinous experience of actually living life.

The apple’s chopping tartness
woke the mouth from sleep.
Syrupy moisture broke through skin,
a trace of orchard sweetness,
the edge of spice sharpened,
warmth pressed against the tongue,
knife of flavor cleanly drawn,
memory bright against the tongue.

The bus always leaves
I’ve never asked questions
that had no answers. Never
stood before a wall without
doors. All the conversations
we will never have. Ourselves,
we will never share. Moments
we will never know. The bubble
that we will never inhabit…

I #track ed a path
to where he was,
over rough terrain
& impossible geography
redrawing the maps
as if the earth
could shift that way,
resetting the clocks
as if time
was on my side
tracing a line,
as if my soul
could make
it's way there
without my body.

Last night I dreamed
Of your face in a crowd
I wanted to call you
Scream your name out loud
Do you know how you’ve touched me
From across the world
If I stop fighting nature
Let the currents decide
Will I find my reward
At the next turn of tide
