“Like a Rainbow with No Sun”

To know 
Where the leaves go
That fall on these grounds
And land as rain drops do-
Random with those rustling sounds
Yet with deliberate purpose of asymmetry
With trunks that remain to be
So defined despite the wind 
raking these green transitions
And sending lose branches in flowing positions
Playing to this daydream I’m in
For it is only with awe to see
Colors never still and still dancing with me
As my eyes continue to question
Which path to follow-
A prepared trail or a sudden suggestion
For my pride to swallow 
Allowing me to view paired trunks
Leading my horizon a different way
Intended for the mind’s eye to only imagine
So perhaps I’ll simply stay
and just watch as if I knew
These lifeless bodies of vibrant colors
Running past my point of view
Like a rainbow with no sun
Do I see the only one
Which seems
So close
to me….

“Summer’s Scars”

In the midst of an autumn breeze, I spotted a leaf from the maple trees. They were standing by the shore of Lake Marmo at the Morton Arboretum on a cloudy and yet comfortable afternoon. And I knew that I had found the perfect view despite the changes that fall goes through- shedding so much green into yellows and reds. And then I noticed two scars that would remain instead of the absence from any previous season that the Midwest brings and with good reason to enjoy the transitions in a refreshed manner. Two steps forward and one step back was never meant to have its progress lack but perhaps to reflect on what it was meant to protect. For it was the memory of moments that moved me and the feelings renewed that proved free from an otherwise monotone day.

"This Windowed View of Change"

Days are few and far between where rays of meaning shine through for one to stop and see a windowed view of change. And all those New Year’s resolutions synced with the full circling of the sun didn’t seem to carry the true surroundings of reinvention let alone the intention of stopping this or starting that. Maybe the mere human being in me can’t quite grasp the bigger world of happenings which goes otherwise unnoticed in so many ways. And then I see those rays and blooming colors that only a fall morning can bring. And the world doesn’t seem so overwhelming- rather welcoming to the possibilities of an entire day waiting to be embraced.
