Slippery waves

Give me the perseverance

Of these slippery waves,

Lashing across the rocks,

In hopes of reaching beyond,

pulled away and withdrawn,

Only to rise again,

Yet another time,

In yet another form.

Pitter patter rain

Pitter patter rain! - Oh! How you fall!
Sometimes so gentle, - Sometimes so fast,
How you love the earth, - that you descend from above,
With not a thought, - not a doubt,
Never to waver, - nor to linger,
Sometimes a dainty drizzle, - Sometimes a drenching downpour,
At times a nervous lover, - At times a long lost love,
Teach me to love, - to love like you,
Not to falter, - not to waver,
Not to hesitate, - not to linger,
Is the earth so worthy, - that you fall with abandon?
Or is it your surrender, - that makes the earth worthy?

Autumn Red!!!

When the cold fingers of winter slightly brush,

In rioting reds does nature blush!!!
