When the veil thins,
Spooks and spectres
Cross the border
To haunt the night.
Witches and wizards
Take to the skies
And cast their spells.
Ghouls and goblins
Walks the streets
In search of prey.
Beware, should you
Go out this night.
Watch your step
And say your prayers,
For danger lurks
In the dark;
Because this,
This is Halloween.
Seasons come,
And seasons go.
Summer has gone
As Autumn arrives.
Days grow shorter
While the air turns cooler.
Leaves turn color
With spectacular beauty,
Showing us that change
Is nothing to fear
But is instead
Something good.
As you face change
In your life
Remember the beauty
Of the Autumn leaves
And see the good
That lies in store.
The path you walk
May seem confusing,
Full of insecurities
And uncertainties.
You may feel
Lost on your journey,
As if wandering
In the dark of night,
Not sure of where
You should be going.
But worry not,
For the Moon will
Light your path,
Providing the clarity
And understanding
Your intuition needs
To guide your way
Through the darkness.
Use its gentle light
To walk your path,
And take your steps
Bravely towards
Your hopes and dreams.

My last photo was of the Buck Moon on July 23, 2021 (the photo at the beginning of the post)
There are times
When things seem dark,
And it feels like I’m
Trapped in a Nightmare
With no way to wake up.
But then you are there,
And the light of your smile,
The touch of your hand,
And the love in your eyes
Brighten the way,
Leading me back
Out of the darkness
Into the light of Hope.

Who says the future
Is predetermined
And can’t be changed?
The future is not
Carved in stone.
It is something
That is ever-changing,
And is something
You make for yourself.
Don’t be held back
By fatalist thoughts.
Dream your dreams.
Set your goals.
Reach for the stars.
Make your future
What you want.
It is yours, after all.

The sun is shining.
The air is warm.
Birds are singing.
Flowers are blooming.
The dark and cold
Of Winter
Is leaving
As the light and warmth
Of Spring
Is arriving,
Bringing with it
The promise
Of new life
And new hope.
Welcome Spring
With open arms
And embrace its
Promises to us.
The ending of something
Often is saddening,
Bringing with it
Feelings of loss
That we think
Will never go away.
But we are all stories,
And stories never
Truly ever end.
As one story ends
Another story begins,
Just as one door closes
And another door opens,
Revealing to us new beginnings.
Embrace the ending
And cherish the memories
It gives you while
You embrace and
Embark on
The beginning of
Your new story.

Time flows.
A new year comes
As the old year goes.
Be not afraid,
Embrace the change.
Say good-bye
To the old
And welcome
The new.
Look forward to
Seeing what lies in store
For future you
In the year ahead.
Dreams are what
Help define us.
Help give us purpose.
Help us to be
Who we want to be.
Don’t let your dreams
Fall by the wayside.
Dream your dreams.
Become who you want to be.
The road may not be easy,
And may be long,
But always remember,
The journey of a thousand miles
Begins with a single step.
So take that first step
And begin your journey.

What I want
I have found
Has slowly changed
As I have grown.
What I wanted
When I was little
Was simple enough.
Things like toys
And candy
And other things
That could be bought
From the store.
But now I’m older
And my want list
More often than not
Contains things
That can’t be bought.
Good health
Security
Love
Peace of mind
Happiness.
These sorts of things
Are what we all
should really want
From life.
