Spirit & Joy

october surprise
warm air linger at fall’s edge
north wind in limbo
spirit of the holidays
waits joyfully in the wind

Chagrin & Joy

lured by its beauty
all joy soon turned to chagrin –
a flower that stinks

wind starts door creaking
curtains billow through windows
dust from parched earth rise
as gray skies give way, raindrops
clamor – kids on porch with friends

wind starts door creaking
curtains billow through windows
dust from parched earth rise
kids on the  porch with their friends
paper boats in hand, pure joy

Joy

laying in the grass
just moving clouds with my mind
the joys of childhood

unadulterated joy –

infectious laughter of a child

a lightness of heart
