Piper's Adventures
Firtln’ along
marching to my own beat
cool water feels good
fish nipping my feet
Sun sparkles
creating diamonds and rainbows
blooms reflecting on the water
body begins to glow
Approaching the rapids
jumping on the rocks
slipping into the water
laughing as I drop
Time for a nap
hammock between the trees
birds singing a lullaby
sweet dreams put me at ease
Sweet spring day
filled with wonder
beauty surrounds me
enjoying this brief slumber

Walking along the path
on a cold winter day
trees filled with ice
sun lighting the way
A cardinal sings
a happy song
welcoming me
as I walk along
Spotting the proper branch
I hang some sunflower seed
an act of kindness
food for creatures in need
Ice crystals sparkle
in the morning sun
prisms filled with color
beautiful webs are spun
Connecting with nature
experiencing a new world
the year is young
peace and harmony unfurl
Smile on my face
calmness in the air
a year of intentional living
life with flair
Meditation over
happiness in my heart
spirit is warmed
by nature’s art

The sun shines
on my face
grateful for this day
filled with grace
The privilege of awakening
life to experience
adventure for the taking
fun and mysterious
Walking through trials
choosing faith instead of fear
bathed in love
God is near
Walking further
grateful for the trees
observing all the wonder
colors in the leaves
Meditation over
filled with gratitude
going through the day
with a positive attitude

Excitement in the air
as the pumpkin is lit
eyes begin to sparkle
emotions to emit
Trees dropping leaves
red, brown, and yellow
surrounding the pumpkin
a popular fellow
Walking down the streets
fun and scary costumes
collecting candy
such sweet fumes
Bright sparklers
illuminate the night
filled with colors
a festive sight
Autumn continues
tables filled with food
a bountiful harvest
so much to be viewed
Meditation over
so grateful to be alive
sitting by the fire
continuing to thrive

Rising each night
the moon lights up the sky
wonders and mysteries
candy for the eye
Surrounded by stars
beauty and peace
gifts from above
blessings increase
Sitting by a fire
watching the sky move
stars are sparkling
dancing to the groove
Planets appear
shining bright
wonder what is on them
following the light
A comet passes
tails with debris
how fun to ride it
exciting thought to me
Drifting off
cool breeze on my face
blanket to keep warm
cricket songs to embrace
Meditation over
feeling safe and secure
surrounded by serenity
my spirit is pure

Nightmares haunted me
while in a deep sleep
fighting evil creatures
the hole is deep
Monopolizing the nightmare
is the fear of dying
is there life beyond
a purpose for trying
Grabbing a compass
which direction to run
morning is coming
east to the rising sun
A wraith appears
think it’s mother
pointing to the sky
beginning to smother
Grasping for breath
one final attempt
slaying all fears
my life is exempt
Becoming one with the light
surrounded by love
friends and family join with me
grace from above
Living in harmony
this world has no fear
peace and contentment
not one tear
Sun is rising
nightmares are gone
free to live
grateful for the dawn

Walking through the forest
contemplating heaven
sun filtering through the clouds
a beautiful intercession
A doorway appears
reflections in the light
past, present, and future
all within sight
In this perfect moment
love radiates from within
sending hugs and kisses
through the wind
The golden leaves fade
door is closed
time is reset
leaves decompose
Seasons change
fall to winter
soul rejoices
in nature’s splendor

Water flows
cleansing my soul
the blessings of the day
shimmer in the water hole
Encouragement from a new friend
over a cup of tea
answer to a prayer
sitting with me
Feeding the hungry
with a hot meal
listening to a story
life is quite real
Sitting with the sick
holding their hand
healing of the spirit
grace in command
Admiring the beauty
breathing clean air
gift of nature
reflections everywhere
Walking home
sparkles in my eyes
sun is shining
puffy clouds in the sky
Meditation over
spirit filled with glee
listening to the falls
grateful to be free

In the midst of the cobweb
there is a pocket of dreams
interpretations of life
trapped in a screen
Thoughts holding a conference
determining what holds power
discussions begin
at the midnight hour
Emotions assist thoughts
as the leaves glide in the wind
colors represent feelings
the veil is thinned
Red representing rage
at things that are unfair
feeling trapped
caught in a snare
Others leaves without color
representing death
is it all over
at the last breath
Yellow leaves
representing life
hope and love
defeating the strife
Morning comes
dew on each thread
sparkling diamonds
there is nothing to dread
Joyful thoughts
rule this day
feeling love
protected by a sun ray

Euphoria in the night
regurgitating tales of old
friends gather
in the autumn cold
Hot apple cider with rum
a homemade drink
gnarl in a tree as a tray
toasting as the mugs clink
Lighting sparklers
dancing in the night
a squirrel joining in the fun
causing a fright
Gathered in blankets
ghost stories are told
of devils appearing
with promises of gold
The moon is full
as the revelers make their way home
filled with joy
allowing imaginations to roam
