                 Dreams and Regrets

Approaching this ‘end of life’
in frequent contemplation
of all that I shall miss the most …

the early-rising mist on an ‘Indian Summer’ day
the smell of wood smoke mid rainbow leaves
   on a crisp Autumn morning
distant wind chimes and church bells
on a brisk October evening
any crescent moon on a starry winter night
chipmunks and kitties and a thousand
of Nature’s tiniest hidden things
everything about the wilderness
dreams of all the loves that
    ‘should have been’

Excellent writing!  Very well expressed visuals.
Love this verse.

Nicely done as always. Enjoyed your seasonal thoughts.

A poem is never finished, only abandoned.
