Beautiful #poetry

Nature Changes

Hearts of love hang by spider silk, painting the rust-colored leaves,
shedding old clothes as dying flowers bid goodbye to bees.
Impatient is the fall wind, causing green to intermingle with the color brown.
We are watching the movement of the last squirrels digging holes in the ground.
Kisses fall from the sky from migrating birds as they say their goodbyes.
My soul spins restless, as I imagine nature, cutting so many gorgeous ties.
Yearning as I watch this from inside our bedroom, my love, this silent picture show
Seasons together have been our treasure, our love, continuing to change and grow.
Passion like a blanket of red starlings covers us inside, as we see the shadows chill.
God is painting his earth for another season; how blessings come with his will.
Your mouth is warm, and your smile inviting, oh darling, like a flute you play…

Christmas Eve Hopes

Christmas Eve Hopes

As the starry sky calls to all to view in awe

Daylight has paused for stockings to be hung up

Dreams coming soon as the waiting children yawn

Elders will drink from their flowing yuletide cups

Photo by Jill Wellington on Pexels.com

Christmas Eve will find folks filling up stockings

Fruits and nuts and chocolates to fill them high

As in the air carolers voices will ring

To all throughout the night will come many sighs

Photo by Oleg Magni on Pexels.com

Oh, Christmas time, you make thee smile joyfully

Bringing the spirit of love and giving to mean

No one must do without and feeling sadly

As gifts from everyone are under the tree

And as they sit and realize they are blessed

May all they have done before help those with less
