Home Again


Tis early morning,
fire heating the cabin,
sipping hot cocoa,
the day is gray, many shades of gray.
I have just returned from a road trip to California,
pulling a trailer
then
hauling my earthly possessions, north.
As I drove south I felt as though I revisited fall.
Trees had leaves again, towns were golden with fall color.
Layers of clothing were peeled off and stayed off,
until I journeyed north again, entering back into
the deep season of fall
nearly winter.

This image was sunrise
in all her glory.

  1. What an extraordinary photo. When I first saw it I thought there was a strange blue sculpture in the middle of nowhere. It’s only when I clicked on and enlarged the picture that I saw that it was, in fact, water. Sculpture or not, a beautiful sunrise and touching text. It reminds me of another text (anon.):
    ‘I am moving all day and not moving at all. I am like the moon underneath the waves that ever go rolling.’

  2. Son,

    your (anon.)text describes my day, exactly....

    always touching when someone senses a truth.

  4. Such a beautiful image! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I may have gotten to eat more, but, due to the size of my family, there were no leftovers to pick on. Darn! love those leftovers. They're like "Thanksgiving, Take 2."
