Unholy Happenings

Unholy happenings
unhappiness
has begun  
bogged down in misery 
what oh what has
this become? 

Let no one stay 
in
the vicinity 
let no man or woman 
be
overcome. 

Let joy and happiness 
be the ones 
we see, feel, experience 
and
become.

Leaves Falling

Leaves falling
Leaving all the ground
Covered 
With
A quiet sound. 

Breezes
Stirring leaves 
Here and there 
Falling from branches 
Now left bare. 

Thru the winter
All quietens down 
Passing storms bring
The only sound 
Of
Branches cracking 
Blowing down. 

In the spring
Life will come 
Bright and warm
On
Into summer’s sun.

Til
Full circle in the fall
Once again
We’ll see
Leaves fall.
