“Strive in stride like the resilient wildflowers that begin each day by turning to face the rolling sunrise. Even when the weight of the world has cemented their original path, they still rise through cracks in the sidewalk to find the sun and shine, never putting off until tomorrow because they inherently know, now’s the time. For it is with every sunrise that hope is born for change with new opportunities to make dreams come alive.”

“Gleaming rays gently shine upon nature. Summer has passed the seasonal baton onto Autumn’s cooling hands. But swirling lightly, between the changing leaves, hints of warm summer breezes softly linger in the air. Tender whispers of days under the blazing sunlight, when bees and butterflies danced for the sweet scent of ripened berries, and verdant leaves flourished on the Mulberry.”

“Nature has taken a deep autumnal breath, and with gusting sighs of relief has shed away the year’s heft that’s now in the rear view.

Tumbling away with strewn leaves are the remnants of days gone by. Storms have been weathered, dry spells overcome, and harsh winds survived, nature is now moving forward stronger.

With newly sown seeds hope is laying dormant ready to forge ahead in the ethereal sunlight, come spring. Not losing a beat, but rising back up rejoining the rhythm and restarting the journey.

A beautiful lesson in resilience at play. Let’s celebrate nature’s courage and strength as it releases the past to give way to new beginnings in, Autumn’s Repose.”

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“Now's the time
To put on the shoes I've saved for the right time
Run with wind and sail with the sunshine
I'll pay no mind to the cruel and unkind
Cause’ now, now, now's the time
The deck is stacked for the fall in for those who fall in line
Gonna make my own way, gonna keep on tryin'
Cause' life is for living, and happiness is free
Not spending my days to wait and see
Whatever will be is fine by me
Now, now, now, now's the time”

“Sun rays agleam through autumn’s weaving breathes;
Swirl soft betwixt twig and limb, right and left,
Tumbling and rustling are strewn leaves set free,
As cobwebs dance lightly on bare branched tree,
Strokes of red-bronze rust paint through nature’s way,
Tranquil scenes of harvest and shed at play,
Tired boughs unload heft from days agone;
Losing the worries that seemed to drag on,
Releasing the old, as change is abrew;
Sure as turning seasons will buds renew,
Soon rust will be green and green will flourish,
New days will come to cherish and nourish,
Fresh vistas shall rise awakened by hues,
Dormant dreams greeted by promising views.”

“As the sunlit verdancy of summer artfully transforms into the gilded shades of autumn, a gentle symphony seems to envelop the natural world. A brief pause for a quiet listen to the air reveals that between the beautiful changes, the rustling leaves, and crawling breezes, small yet profoundly stirring moments are gracefully sprinkled everywhere.”

“On city harp strings ‘neath cotton ball clouds,
Pigeon to pigeon their stories they sing,
Wafting flocks gather in soft, cooing crowds;
Amid rush traffic, a prelude to spring,
One with their nature, harmony within,
Above street clatter, perched, resting their bones,
Primed for the vernal bounty to begin,
Soothing the clamor with light, dulcet tones;
Whiffs of smog-filled drafts like bellows pulse through,
Unfazed are they by our mad world of haste,
The calm bevy awaits winter’s adieu,
Unconsumed by thoughts of no time to waste,
Nature presides with unshakable pride,
The seasons shall turn with a feather’s glide.”

“Tired eyes repose, yet in dream attune
Better days ahead, agrees the evening’s wise moon,
As the chorus of stars rise, twinkle, and festoon.
I’ve faced the darkness with light and with love;
Fallen to the sun, then risen above,
Whether storming rain, or enduring tide;
I’ve never humbled behind clouds to hide.
Don’t cower to fear, and never lose sight,
Your power of will exceeds any plight.”

“There’s only one earth, and one glorious sky
One fleeting time, quickly passing us by
To put our differences aside,
and make everything alright
For our one human race
No matter what tongue, creed , color or faith
A mother’s gentle love, an elder’s wise words
Same heart and soul, no matter where in the world
So in this one world, we got one chance,
under this one sky
Lets come together for all mankind
Let’s make this earth from house to home”

“Bird of Paradise, feather among leaves,
To the earthy soil I am bound and tied.
Anchored by claws of roots and weighty sheaves,
My spirit flies among the birds that glide.
My sprawled pinions verdant, tail feathers pied,
A crest of orange crowned is my disguise.
As winds breathe hope and new life, then subside,
Seeds are sown and grown right before my eyes.
My vision is centered, strong are my arms,
I feed the hungry and withstand their sting,
I greet the sunrise, and bathe in rainstorms.
Wildflowers fret and speak of blight all spring,
But Paradise shuns foreboding such plight.
Proud is my nature, I stand strongly bright.”

“Centuries of strength in each leaf resides
Above dappled shadows ‘neath blazing skies,
Growing lush verdure a silkworm’s grand feast;
Shields scattered berries strewn ripe and unleashed,
Piled verdant armor diffuses hot rays,
While ants spiral ‘round its trunk’s ridged maze,
Beaming warm smiles, summer’s brightness descends,
Butterflies and bees orbit the sweet scents;
From juice to wine, and pulp of paper inked,
Lasting as its hues dark purple, white, pink,
Arrayed like jewels across flourishing limbs;
Swaying to the wafts of soft whistling winds,
Enduring the test of time’s winding hands,
Unyielding in strength the Mulberry stands”

“You grow up, you grow old
Life it can seems so cold
You shine bright, in the night
Like a star, lit so bright
It's your story right now
Say it loud, say it proud
It's your glory right now
So stand up, take a bow”
