Love is a touch, tender with care,
A meaningful look, secrets to share.
Love is a mood, laughter or tears,
Shared by two hearts that grow close through the years.
Love is faith that dreams come true,
Love is wonderful; Love is you!

Love is like a single rose,
Both beautiful and sweet.
Love is like the sun and moon,
Both hot and cold.
Love is between two people,
Love is love, it’s just up to you.

Autumn
Autumn has arrived.
Trees decked out in Joseph’s coat
Reds, yellows, orange, rust, green
And every hue in between.
Leaves dancing and fluttering in the wind
Drop to earth
In a dizzy spin.
This wonderful display
Is short lived.
Winters winds will soon move in,
Earth takes on a
Different glow
With the arrival of first white snow.
Bundle up and brave the cold
Use both hands
Your hat to hold.
Quickly scurry to where
You’re going
Because the winds are
Coldly blowing.
Hurry home where the fire glows.
It will toast your frozen toes.
Have yourself a nice
Hot toddy
It will quickly
Warm your body.
Slip off your shoes
Turn the TV on
Watch the news.
Sleepily walk up the stairs
For your nightly snooze.
Say your prayers
jump into bed.
Let the winds howl
And scream
While you enjoy
Some pleasant dream.

Does anything in this earth, ever perish?
And disappear into nothingness and void?
A leaf, a life, a flower, a song, a rainbow!
A tree, a leaf, or a flower, when it withers
The good earth receives it with pleasure.
It dissolves with the mud, in its source.
The roots take away the substances,
And bring them back to life.
The remnants of a human being disintegrate and
Unite with the five elements which composed it.
The whole earth is a grand grave yard,
For withered, battered, and dead lives;
Buried and hidden in its cavernous womb;
Over millenniums, ever procreating
From the debris of accumulated fragments,
In another shape; tubers, cereals, fruits, crops,
And food for whatever we eat as flesh,
To complete the cycle of life, in the universe.
Even the scattered ash over water
Comes back as salt from the sea in our food.
Nothing can be severed from anything eternally.
That proclivity exists in everything, animate or
Inanimate, similar to proton-neutron relation.
That is human bondage, nature’s bondage
