“Autumn Reflections” by Colleen M. Breuning © 2011 WITHIN THE LEAVES OF FALL I hear the eloquent sounds of changes in the air, leaves of gold and crimson pirouetting to the ground. I hear the sound of Nature’s soul, velvet moss clinging to the trees, afternoon gradually fading into the […]
LUNA’S SILVERY MAGIC Luna’s silvery glow slips silently through the clouds, ascending ever so gracefully toward her rendezvous with midnight and beyond, sequins and stars splashed upon the black satin of night. And as she rises, arcing as she does through the nighttime skies, she shares her magic with me, moonbeams sprinkled […]
BEYOND THE SHADOWS Fractured, uncharted, beyond the shadows of morning, time leaves me spent, worn, surrendering my distant past to eternity’s light, each breath fresh and new as we travel through time.

TOWARD THE BEYOND Outside the windows of my morning, shadows of distant summers past surrender to the leaves of autumn, my mind traveling forward through uncharted space and time toward sundown, through eternity, and beyond the limits of the unknown.

THE PLACE FOR ME TO BE I’ve imagined all those places where I thought I could be happy and content and live comfortably — the islands of the Pacific, the southern coast of France, New Zealand, Nova Scotia and places beyond; within time and space such endless possibilities.

STORIES WITHIN Big hopes and dreams and walks in the park; searching for rainbows, afraid of the dark; playing hide-and-seek within the twists and the turns of life; hiding in the corners and playing tag with my heart. Words holding me captive and carrying me away, my imagination surrendered to the light and the dark. […]
“Jedi Abstract” by Atlas Rising DANCING WITH MIDNIGHT’S MUSE Another moonless night, loud silence interrupting thoughts and emotions streaking across darkened nighttime skies and beyond, sleep and moonlight dreams elusive once again, questions, doubts once again uninvited yet breaking through cracks once thought impenetrable, tightly sealed. And I find myself once again reaching into the […]
MISSING YOU BY BARBARA K A CHERYL’S PALS COLLAB Gentle breezes caress my heart across this moonlit night, lilting melodies whistling upon the evening air. I hear your voice again as it finds my heart tonight, awakening emotions I had thought forever lost. I wish I could tell you what you wanted to hear, for […]
TURNING TO GOLD Leaves of green turning to gold; the air outside so crisp and bold; welcoming the first day of fall. Signs of Autumn seen ev’rywhere; Mother Nature’s glory to share; Hearing leaves rustle, Autumn’s call. Fall is here, I’m happy to say; summer’s heat has left us today. Happy […]
