Late winter
of life,
Cloudy brain
plaques
fogging the brain;
I stand tall
and green
in the mist
In support
of those with
lost leaves....
Sometimes
I am alone,
sometimes
struggling with
others
on a woody slope
alzeimerishly....
A gust of wind
lifts the mist,
warm yellows
and browns of fall
decorating
the heights
of my mind....
And
the fence and lawn
resplendent
in shining dew,
appears familiar....
Memories flood back;
I am not alone.....

Great sky! And that mountain scene is spectacular! Did you have to hike a strenious hike to get that view?
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my playground. I appreciate it. I love these photos :) Well done :)
ReplyDeleteQuilt Works, no that is the Going to the Sun Highway in Glacier National Park and it is a gorgeous drive. There are places to hike and climb, of course, but this is just a very famous road through the middle of the park!

When one laughs unconditionally, they are vibrating in alignment to the higher self. One can hear one's personal chord being struck, and one laughs because they recongnize it as their truth. Truth can be funny when one recognizes themselves and remembers what they are. Its funny because of the fact that they forgot. Its a duh moment.
ReplyDeleteThat last photo with brush stroke like lines reminds me almost of an abstract painting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photos and quotes! Love reading them.

Just a moment to say hello and look forward to our daily visit.I'll be out of town and will check back with you in a week for another of your photographic and inspirational back rubs!
ReplyDeleteI'm stealing the first two. What wonderful words.
ReplyDeleteAlways wonderful photos, but that last one of the mountainside is just breath-taking! And... nice quote from AA; what a nice surprise (not that I thought he wasn't deep!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post!! AN excellent way to start my day! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes laugh on my own without a reason. I haven´t really figured out yet which one it fits from these options.
