Through Pisces to Aquarius III

             III
The seeds of empty promises
Soon sprout a shallow happiness
That flowers as despairing rage
In those benefiting the least
From material convenience.
Cities violently erupt,
Becoming harbingers of fear
That quickly spread throughout the land.

FrogSong

My sleeping soul 
Awakened with a smile
When a Frog sang     Memory
Of its unique music
Echoed through the rain
And endless cloudy days
To many years past     Youth
Innocence    The world’s and mine

The lone house watches
Summer residents depart
The October chill

Awaiting winter solstice
And hibernating Nature

Children of the Sun XIV
```
With the expected birth
Into the solar family
Of another child
Siblings will again shift
To drift further away
From the place of their birth
And into the comfort
Of newly found orbits

Wherever I go,

“We become strangers to each other”
```
We become strangers to each other
And also to our selves.
Our paths have strayed
Although we are together.
Friendly bonds grow
To become what they will.
A painful re-acquaintance is undertaken,
For we stand at the crossroads—
Of love?

Remember the Love

Cherish all the tender warmth
Of small, thoughtful considerations
Shared in moments of joy and sorrow.
Acknowledge the good times,
Yet be thankful for overcoming the bad,
Always seeking extended periods
Of Peace and Serenity.

The solar family
Then welcomed Mercury
Forcing the relocation
Of brothers and sisters
To the former orbits
Of their older siblings
