produces late fruit so sweet

Autumn
Winter skies turn grey
As Autumn color tumbles
Pond grows crystal clearNature’s anticipation
As last season goes to sleep-Clarence Holm
Just Before the Snow
Sun stained leaves gather
Under pumpkin flavored skies
-Purple Asters bloom-Clarence Holm
Fire In The Sky
Tonight’s September sunset, viewed from my Minnesota prairie home, sent me running for my camera!

This evening beauty
Autumn’s prairie painted sky
Sets fire to my soul-Clarence Holm

Gathering Time
September’s night wind
Danced on the prairie meadow
To Autumn’s frost songSeason of the harvest moon
Time of reaper’s finale-Clarence Holm
The Player
– Clarence Holm
It hurts when I remember
What’s lodged so deep inside.
The gates that keep the screams at bay
And lock my soul awayI made the choice so long ago
I’d hoped it‘d be forgotten.
A scene of mine – casual words spoken
Bound by acts and left there as a token.I dream of yesteryear to come
Allowing me redemption
To change the deeds I’ve left undone
One time before I’m gone.
