Golden leaves swaying
On a November breeze
Floating, cascading down
Landing on soon to be
Frozen, winter ground.
Woods are silent, hushed, listening
To the still quiet as a hunter lurks
Waiting to kill in the midst
Of golden leaves falling, raining down
Upon barren, dying ground.

I spoke to you
You spoke to me
Together we spoke of majesty.

The world doesn’t leave me far behind
It holds me, helps me
Giving all I need
All
That’s divine.

I hear the voices call
They echo through the valley
Down the lane and thru
The crowd at the mall.
Not sure just what they’re saying
No clear words call
But their meaning I hear, I feel
With every voice that speaks
Every echoing call.

Let the quiet come in
Let it spread throughout
Your body, your very soul.
Let hurry not come in
Keep it at bay, say no words
That make it run away
With your solitude.
Deep breath in, slowly let it out
Embrace quiet
Feel it spread throughout.

Dear sweet spirit take control
Guide my hand, my heart
And please my soul.

Times are tough, people rough
Struggle to maintain
A sense of normal.
A kind of place where grace
Is the highest trait
That we take and try to make it
Seem so normal.

When you stop doing the dance
They’ll play another tune.

When I fall
I must get up
Look to the horizon
Never giving up.
Failure is only a learning step
Nothing happens
That you can’t accept
Learn or forget.

Nothing to write, nothing to say
Just looking out
Seeing
An absolutely beautiful, breathtaking day
