I rush outside right after breakfast. There is not much time.
The morning air is cool and fragrant with the smell of
honeysuckle vines, Dogwood trees and flowering Magnolias.
Birds are chirping and singing in the early morning light.

and polite conversation. She has approachable

Gossamer wings with beautiful colors.
very friendly, peaceful and lovable.

So many we take them for granted
...

A storm rolls in on the wind,
lightening follows thunder,
rain fall soaks all exit yonder.
...

Once I stood tall and straight with muscles flexible and strong.
My movement through space and time was strong and graceful.
My spirit soared like a bird in flight. My strength was everlasting.
Now I fade.

The leaves on the trees are starting to turn. Plants are morphing intodormant states, or completing their journey on this plane of existence. It is the Maker who decides.

Squirrels, bears, and other animals that hibernate are preparing for their long, deserved winter sleep. They find dens, gather food, put on fat, it is time. They await signs from the Maker.

We worship your nature to extend life to the faithful.
You with the power, our Goddess of the fountain.
Would you grant an audience to the old souls,
so we can request that which only you can fulfill.

Love is very much like fire. It offers warmth and energy. It offers vitality and emotional connectedness.

When you stare into a fire and watch the dancing flames it is beautiful, hypnotic, and leaves a warm after-glow. Fire is nature in it's most raw form.

My favorite time of year is unabashedly clear.
It is when the faithful celebrate Christmas.

The Sun rises each day in the east,

Pretty little birds welcome to the world,

The Best Poem Of Thyris Taylor

My World

I rush outside right after breakfast. There is not much time.
The morning air is cool and fragrant with the smell of
honeysuckle vines, Dogwood trees and flowering Magnolias.
Birds are chirping and singing in the early morning light.
Sparrows, Robins, Cardinals, and in the distance Bob Whites.

This great day that the Lord has made does not go unnoticed. Because
I am well schooled on the many ways that Mother Nature stirs the senses. The singing Bob whites, with their insistent little baiting, always entices one to whistle back although I hear their calls daily.

I sit on our porch and look up at a sky full of floating clouds.
The Sun creeps up a bit higher and bright blue sky colors appear.
I wish I could sit on a cloud and look down at the world below.
My fantasy is a magic world of Sun people going with the flow.

I am but a little black dude living in the government projects,
My parents have to work so grandmother looks after me every day.
Right now though I can watch the world from here on the porch.
I know any minute my mother will call saying 'let's go honey.'
Oooh if she could stay home with me, cloudy days would seem sunny.
