I’ve been extremely fortunate to tick another ‘must do’ off my Bucket List. The hubby and I took a voyage on The Ambience – our virgin cruise to the Norwegian Fjords. What an experience … not least because we saw the aurora borealis, known to me and many as the Northern Lights. Click on the link to read more and see the photos.
The sunset and the sea brought to mind where I am in my Seasons. It prompted my verse below. I sat on the balcony of our suite, watching the sunset over the raging North Sea. So beautiful is the sunset. So rough is the sea. It reminds me of us. People. Hidden depths. Not often seen by all.

The Autumn of my Life
The Season is now
The beauty of Autumn
Is all about me
The red and the gold
Of the leaves that bring
Inspiration.
Autumn is a beautiful time
As I consider my
Spring and Summer
And what’s to come in Winter?
Ahhh! No need to fill my head
With the cool of Winter
It will come when it comes.
For now I savour
My warm Autumn
With the wind and the rain
With the shedding of the old
Tô keep warm and safe
Both mentally and physically
For that is what Autumn
Must do.
Give in
Let go
Savour the good
Look forward to
The warmth that dwells
Within
Savour the good
Throughout the Fall
As he wraps me in
His loving arms
Tô take me tô
Safe places.
To explore places
On my bucket list.
We just don’t know
When our time is up
So do it.
Do it now.
Thank you for visiting
