All At Once

 -------All At Once-------

On the edge 

of a storm

Touched by sunlight 

and the falling 

rain

All at once

The joy 

and struggle

Of being human 

in weather 

form.

-------

Trust

 -------Trust-------

It isn't a date 

that starts the autumn

But a shift 

among the living,

Breathing 

world

That holds 

a rhythm

My heart

will always follow.

-------

Well Connected

 -------Well Connected-------

Under 

the cover 

of rain clouds

My shadow 

disappears

One with the trees

and the river 

rising

Bone-drenched,

I'm gone.

-------

Forgiving

   -------Forgiving-------

There is a quality 

to contentment

I feel

when overcome

By thankfulness

Like a petal 

falling

Soft

upon the earth.
