evening surrounds me
thick with memories and dreams
like phantoms, like crows
stress, pressure, doubt,fear
none of these can conquer us
if we rest in Love
in autumn darkness
even now the sun god comes
bringing back his light
losing everything
you find what cannot be lost
your Life beyond life
what is your calling?
is it not your heart's deep bliss?
the life you love most?
starting to rain hard
water rising in the creek
farewell sweet summer!
dry leaves in the wind
night descends earlier now
in this darkness, peace
leaden skies tonight
first rain of the season
hot tea, deep stillness
time pauses, breathes in
everything is suspended
more storms yet to come
