The Fair is in town this week. It signals the end of summer. Yet it is too quiet. I am restless as is my soul. I know not what changes are coming but I wait.

Waiting

My thoughts are in between...

Summer changes into Fall

time stands still

Life becomes restless

with no change...

Predators feeding

on carrion

lose the edge

of a hunt

A dry stream

giving no voice

waits to hear its

song again

Clouds of promise

break and run...

No shower or storm

to rend the

tedium of the wait

Feeling parched,

I thirst for change...

This weekend we pass through one of the meteor belts. Once agin this year

our night skies are clouded over during the best part of the show. So how does one make a wish upon an unseen falling star? Maybe it is best...for every wish filled has a price.

Cold summer rain

When summer's sun

bakes  yearnings

of the soul...

Moonless nights open

heaven's wonder

to a thirst

unquenchable

Make your wish upon

a falling star...

Bringing comfort more than

wishes falling through
night's clouds,
washed to
unfilled dreams...

Warm winter's snow

with thoughts of

home and hearth

 Cold summer rain
brings no joy
chilling bone and marrow

It has been many weeks since it last posted. When things hang heavy on the mind I can not write. Even looking at the blog saddens me to an emptiness where I write from. I have visited the lake a few times. I went back today with a camera. the sights are not pleasing. The first 2 are from the dam I walk. The third is the boat ramp where Ashley caught her first fish in Pa.

To my lady friend Susi, I will open my messenger every night for the rest of August to see if you write.

Sleep Early Tamarack

Lady...

I drink of your

heart's fading beauty

with sadness...

 The sun and moon

once strolling paths of

gold and silver...

 now stumble 

upon bones of your

depths

No change of

season brings such a

stench of decay

upon your breath

Let your soul

Sleep early lady...

Those now leeching life's

blood...

seek to return

your heart's 

strength and beauty
