Dawn’s Light
Early morning hour
Sowing heart’s tranquility—
Calmness of spirit

Fresh Start
Believe, trusting more
Opening another door—
Shifting day’s mindset

Quiet Turnaround
Away from one’s view
Time flowing with transition—
Subtleness of change

Walking endless miles
Faithful boots always ready—

Joining together
Solving life’s cherished puzzle—
Heart’s bits and pieces

Icy, foggy screen
Hiding wintertime’s next move—
Holding nature’s cards

Overnight snowfall
Friendly, gentle flakes falling—
Morning’s traffic slows

Lofty mountain peak
Let it snow, let it snow more—
Skiers celebrate

Life’s mirror reflects
Past sorrows filled with heartache—
Today writes new page

Positivity
Lights candle in one more soul—
Love and kindness glow

Hopeful and ready
Discovering more than one—
Life’s next open door

Every . . . falling leaf
Reminder . . . winter’s coming—
Dreaming . . . spring’s rebirth

Winter’s silence speaks
Quiet trees withhold their joy—
Waiting for spring’s call

Tender seedling sprouts
Nature transitions again—
Life reawakens

Guiding principle
Building lasting foundation—
Honesty always

Righteous citizens
Preserving lasting good name—
Sharing goodwill

Each generation
Integrity’s highest road
Inheriting trust

Buying up houses
Trading for largest hotel—
Monopoly’s wealth

Bandit on the run
Car’s battery fails to start—
Police bringing charges

Old shoes in tatters
Needing firmer foundation—
Meeting new solemate

First snowflake arrives
Autumn’s spirit carries on—
Lingering voices

Morning’s frost whispers
Autumn’s voice fading away—
Winter’s shadow calls

Winter’s coldest words
Warmest phrases lifting up—
Sunrise welcomed back

Deepest emotions
Hidden in life’s tallest grass—
Embrace heartfelt love

Asked to explain love
Filled with honest reflections—
Sharing sweetest thoughts

Marriage joins as one
Love’s odyssey of blessings—
Always one more dance

Coffee drinkers smile
Autumn brewing each fresh cup—
“Welcome Home Pumpkin”

Asking for black please
Lasting morning tradition—
Coffee without frills

Black coffee now served
Adding sugar plus creamer—
Sweet, caffeine milkshake

I usually drink my black coffee with a bit of Stevia sweetener in it, but I can handle black straight up as well. If you are are a coffee person, how do you like your coffee prepared?
