The moment where the seasons
Shift.
The transmutation
Of the summer
Into fall
Already final
Even if not
Entirely
Complete.

She is deliberate. She takes her time.
Each line is drawn with distinct goal. Each color chosen with remarkable concentration. Each curve labored on in exact determination.
After all, the letters aren’t ‘just’ a prelude to a word expressed. It is none of it ‘just’ idle practice …
It is her name she’s working on, a profound soul-expression.

It’s the light
It’s the mood
It’s the tone
In the air
It’s the frowning
Of brows
And the cold
Atmosphere
It’s the half-frozen
Words
And the
Brrr
Everywhere.

When problems seem to swell up
Overnight
And worry gives a boon
To fret and fright
It can help to remind
That while some puffy mushrooms
Do hold spite
Many are more air
Than actual might.

The house snored and stomachs sighed content
But pots and pans and ladle, towel, bowl and plate
Slept not a wink awaiting dawn inside the kitchen sink …

If the distance’s too far
And the winning too tempting
There is always the tummy
To improve odds
Of aiming.

A smile,
A wave
A blast of horn,
Afternoon outing
For the honking
Brave.

Even in the blackest night
There’s hope
In sight,
There’s light.
As addendum to this prompt I want to add news of amazing breakthrough research that is offering tangible hope to people with spinal cord injuries, who till now may have had little light at the end of their dark tunnels. Who knows — soon they may be able to get up again and walk!
Scientists use stem-cells to make paralyzed rats walk again!
(I’m doubly excited for this remarkable news because the co-leader scientist in this research, Professor Shulamit Levenberg, is my sister!)

The tender bloom stays but few days
Yet made of atoms forged
In times
Before eons,
And will remain
As it transforms
To almond, seed, tree, earth, person:
All life’s
Ions.

As every day rolls in
So clearly new to me
I realize the ever changing
Neophyte I am to life
And still will be.
