Light of Day...

Shades of grey
with bursts of color
as the multi-colored leaves fall,
racing the raindrops to the ground,
a wet splattering on the lawn,
sticking to where they have fallen
A rug of many colors,
shimmering, glistening in the light...
The breeze is cool,
better a sweater in this weather,
in the space between the heat of Summer
and the chill of Fall
Dampness leaving its stamp upon you
in droplets of moisture
clinging to the air around you
What mood has found you
or what has been left for you,
like the early morning paper
flung upon a wet doorstep?
Listen to the hum of the morning,
hear the drumming of your heart,
thoughts come without warning,
things that stop before they start
Visions last for but a moment,
understanding takes a lifetime
One foot in front of the other
seems like such an arduous climb
Break the cycle,
pray for miracles
Fight bad thoughts
that leave you hysterical
Take in the view
and let it calm you
for sometimes  it is all you can do...
