another morning




Awakening I saw first
the same ash tree
the same blue sky
just the tree has shed half of its leaves
the birch trees also are crumpled rusty
dropping one leaf at a time
slowly, slowly
winter is comming
though human calendar

showed autumn started just two days ago
do the trees know more than the electronic
weather metrology?
The trees don't push buttons
they feel....

heaven speaks




It's the first thing I see as I open my eyes in the morning. Summer is leaving. We did not have a summer as we were accustomed to. It did not follow the forecaster diagrams (ha-ha -electronics). The last 15 days have had sun, but it was not as warm as we expect in a summer. Trees slowly start dropping leaves, though they are not in a most colourful autumn attire yet.

This ash tree outside my window is rushing to drop its leaves. Some how it does not make me enjoy it - thoughts about winter - trees will have another spring - will I? All this writing does not mean anything to other people. Life goes on, but I have to notice it. The aging makes me wonder - what next? When? Waiting for what? Hoping for what? Trying to keep my heart beat normal. What is normal at this stage of life? I notice all the little changes in nature, but does that apply to me too? Sort of hidden fear...

Afterthought


God is always there. Do we pay any attention to it? Do we take time to see when He talks to us in a colour of sunset?
We are too busy to take time to notice it daily.
It isn't our chemical or negligence creation. We will never know why it is different and how any day. I can not miss it. It shows up every evening in my window and I have to think what is He telling me now?
Maybe not very sensible, but why does it fascinate me?
Just thinking. God is always there. Back in my childhood they used to foresee in the sunset what the next days weather will be like. No one thought that it could have been the Lord talked to them. Now we don't even take time to notice it.

It's comming


It was not there yesterday, but today driving to Barrie it just clicked in my mind: autumn has kissed some trees. Vow! That was a line for a poem. I was driving the regular speed and all the autumn's fiery touches passed by to fast to stop and take a picture. Though the line was clinging in my head "Autumn has kissed some. It must have happened last night by the full moon shine.
Romantic? - Or just me - floating in the unreal.
Came back slowly watching to find the tree that called for this line. Maybe some other driver behind me were angry for my slow speed, but I id not pretend i noticed. I had to find the tree.
I did. When I stopped on the roads shoulder and took couple pictures at different angles a horse came behind the fence and was talking to me. So naturally I talked back until he posed good enough for picture. It made my day.
Natures creations do make you feel happy, but the mind says summer is on a way out. What will the winter bring?
Well, I better enjoy the touch of the autumn , it will bring more off it .
