Autumn poems 2014 ~

Dear Ones, remind me of this day when I do not smile!
  Maybe it is the softer light of the overcast sky
or the moisture in the air
that brings this day under my skin in a soothing magical depth.
 I feel closer to ones who have passed beyond: are they sending us blessings?
I see immeasurable, infinite beauty in the green leaves
of a wetter southwestern summer, nearing it's end.
The colors rich and reflected, puddles are masterpieces,
rocks are singing and the trees dancing the Earths song.
I cannot contain gratitude so vast,
yet, is it enough to make up for all the days taken for granted?
This abundance my eyes missed because of the chatter in my smaller mind?
  Dear Ones remind me of this day when my eyes are dull.                   ~C.Bouajila


The sunrise sky casting a pink tint to the world,
The day’s first light glows through the tapestry of still trees.
Golden light and scattered hints of yellow autumn leaves.
Bird songs mingle in harmony with silent air, not even a slight breeze.
Brilliant white potential surrounds this new day.
The city traffic begins to hum, and then a train whistle in the distance.
There are journeys ahead as the past sleeps on.
A familiar cat jumps from tree limbs to rooftop.
Oh deep gratitude I am awake!                                                               ~ C. Bouajila
