I stepped outside
into the heat of the day
to warm my chilled bones...
I felt the intensity
of the sun's beaming rays
coming down on me
and felt its warmth
deep in my soul...

Something about your words does not sound sincere!  Are you saying it is hot there in Texas? ha It is hot here, too, but never inside where I work....It is more like a morgue.....All cement and coldness...no windows....nothing....I have to wear a sweater year round..... Sam |

I was inside the house when I typed those words. Freezing from the air conditioning, myself.
But, yes, it's hotter than Hades in Texas. We've finally hit the triple digits! You remember what those feel like, yes? Off to hang out with Am and the kids and eat fish!!!! Yum! ;D

The sunshine teased me
with its warmth...
Yet, when I stepped outside
into its golden light
the north wind
quickly reminded me
of the changing season...
Sam
(Mid 30s tonight) burrrrrrr!! Where is fall?

This weather is changing rapidly....
and I have decided Mother Nature
must know more than me
about what She is doing...
I look at the trees,
beautiful colors spilling out
from their covered, full branches....
Smells of fall feel the air,
and I am nostalgic...
but, only for a moment.
Oh, that one little moment,
that can feel like a lifetime,
sometimes to me...

It's turned chilly in the mornings and evenings in Texas, too. We actually had a light frost this morning, when Ivy and I headed out to go to school and work, respectively. No real color changes in the foliage, yet...All is still green or withered brown from the summer heat...Loving the weather though, as you don't have to run either the ac or the heater...It's just right... Thanks for sharing the loverly autumnal poeming, lady! Gggggot more?  Nir. |

Gone are the days of summer.
The winter winds are proof
that winter is here.
I stepped outside this morning
and pulled my scarf tighty
around my blowing hair.
Should these gale winds
put us in the Christmas mood?
I don't know for sure.......

Please come soon.
Awaken and bring
your warmth
to favor us again,
Mother Nature,
Dear Springtime.....
For I am chilled
to the bone
and grow tired
and weary of waiting
for the touch
of your sunshine's warmth
on my shoulders
and across my face...

Yes, soon come, Springtime
And with your beauty
herald the passing
of Winter's
weary watch...
Bring swatches
of bright color to a landscape
wan with the shades of freeze and frost...

Lighten my heart
as even now I stand
looking out at the emptiness around me,
the pale ghostly shadows of yesterday....
Bring back the softness
and rebirth of your land again,
giving us yet another chance at survival...

Today's sunshine is
bringing hope and warmth
to this barren land.
I sat outside over lunch
and felt its gentle strength
nourishing my soul.
Please stay with me....
For I am weary and worn
from winter's clinging chill...

Today my Lord is risen
and I am awed by everything
I have witnessed today.
With rain and snow forcasted
the sun broke through the clouds
and filled the day with sunshine
and gentle cooling wind.
I enjoyed the fellowship today
of family and friends
and most of all my sweet grandbabies.
One running across the yard
chasing Easter eggs
in bright colored shells
smiling from ear to ear,
the other dressed in pink
and black patten leather shoes
smiling and cooing in my arms.
I am blessed.

All week the weather has teased us,
the sun smiling down
and gentle breezes blowing.
The birds were having a field day
tromping over the new folage
and happily building their nests,
until I woke this morning...
cold winds blowing....
I stood outside at lunch time
and almost covered my ears
to keep out the sounds
of crying I heard
coming from the budding trees...
Tonight the temperature will drop
to below the freezing mark
and I cannot help buy wondering
when Mother Nature will stop
and catch Her breath...

I smiled... and held out my arms as if to embrace this moment in time... and hold on to it, putting it forever in my personal collection of ever-growing memories... I am also smiling as I read this gorgeous poem and nodding my head at your enthusiastic heralding of our beautiful nature, indeed to be collected in our book of precious memories. Nice to make your acquaintance Katriona (Wallace) |

I wait for the warm nights coming, my windows rolled down, the radio playing in my rustied little automobile. A big smile on my face as I ride... It has been a long time coming. Sam  |

I am confused
at this new pain
I now feel in my life...
My heart is broken
and I am split in half.
One side says go,
the other says stay...
I guess it is really true
nobody really knows
where love goes
when it goes...
and I could cry all night
but I can not make it stay
for you any longer
than I could make it stay
when I stood
in the same shoes
you stand in today.

haunting...and so true...
love stays or goes...
and sometimes,
it does both,
at the same time...

I am home finally
and I feel like a wimp
with all of these country people
going about their business
while I stand in he shade and wilt...
It is good for my soul
to be with my family
and my spirit feels stronger...
Maybe there "is" hope
for wimplings like me....
