The leaves make me sad, as they fall from trees in June.
But the children enjoy collecting yellow and red shapes for art projects.
The river level depresses me, as springs run dry.
But the children enjoy snokling in the shallow rapids and pools.
I am fearful of the future while we walk in the woods and find few insects.
But the children are delighted that they have not been biten by a tick.
I am envious of thier happiness and annoyed by my knowledge
They are envious of my knowledge and oblivious of their joy
Looking at these fallen leaves
Gazing at these dying trees
Depression
Digging in the lifeless dirt
Feeling all the pain and hurt
Sadness
Gathering clouds that sprinkle rain about
Finding a bloom, a joyful sprout
Hope
Stumbling upon a chirping bird
Singing the prettiest song I've heard
Joy

Ah, yes, Autumn in July. It's getting me down a bit too. Would love some healing, rejuvenating rain.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you showed a pic of the Whip-poor-will. I've never seen one, and didn't know they were in the Hawk family, but I have the fondest memories of hearing their song as I drifted off to sleep.
It's all a balance. And I feel that Earth will balance out these miss-balances. May it be soon, for the healing of all.
