Nothing Ever Is Lost Forever

I love this season,

fresh and sunny

or clouds with rain are here again,

but whatever lands upon my head

I know it’s true in that very moment

weather comes and weather goes

and autumn leaves land all around

so signs of change are everywhere

as letting-go is the lesson

and being open brings new blessings.

What comes to me to help me see

is a willingness to carry on

through uncertain times that circle round

with healing times working through,

let patience and faith light the way

as I work in the garden today.

I am planting pansies as I think of him

who left this world years ago

but lives in my ways as I greet the new days

and nothing ever is lost forever.

Observing nature

and all the changes

help to show, as we go

through the seasons and different reasons

for making choices

comes ‘the autumn of letting go’

to await ‘the winter of hibernation’

and celebration by fireside,

lavender, grapefruit, patchouli and ginger

cypress and lemon call me too

as fragrance brings us memories

and willingness eases every way

so on I go through this day.
