A have just returned from my Autumn break to Skiathos. 

So it’s time to put my garden toys away and get ready for winter

Autumn Calling

Today I felt the autumn as it crept into my bones

While nature reclaimed the flowers as if they were a loan

The geese in V formation were departing across the sky

As their flight  it take them southward to where their future lies

The squirrel’s daily visit seem so much in haste

As if something had told it there was little time to waste

The days of light will grow shorter and leaves will start to fall

So I best prepare for winter for she’s knocking at my door

SPARKS OF AWARENESS

SPARKS OF AWARENESS

CASCADE THROUGH THE SKY

AS THOUSANDS OF ANGELS

GO SAILING BY

CHASING THE MOONBEAMS

FROM EARTH TO THE STARS

WHILE SPREADING THE JOYS

ON THIS LIFE THAT IS OURS

NO PAYMENT IS NEEDED

EXCEPT THAT WE SEE

THOSE THOUSANDS OF ANGELS

THAT’S CALLING FOR FREE

IF YOU BLINK YOU WILL MISS THEM

SO BEST THAT YOU STARE

FOR THOUGH YOU MIGHT LOSE THEM

THEY’LL ALWAYS BE THERE

THOSE ANGELS OF AWARENESS

Same Time Next Year

OK it’s a date

I bet the months go slowly

And really I cannot wait

Will I look much older

Well I truly could not say

For winter takes it toil on me

At least that is it’s way

I’ll miss these summer evenings

And the scent of nighttime fair

Already I am longing

And I haven’t gone no where

What time did you say I am leaving

Yes my case is set

Ready for my journey

Although I wish and yet

It would not hold its magic

If I lived here all the time

This special place I visit

In the glorious summertime

So bye I’ll see you later

Perhaps within my dreams

When I long to feel your beauty

And just hope that it is real….
