The world only exists in your eyes.  You can make it as big or as small as you want.

You cannot write well or much (and I venture the opinion that you cannot write well unless you write much) unless you form a habit.

Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young.

W. (William) Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was a French-born English writer.  His writings published quite an impressive collection of short stories, novels, and plays.

Fall’s Freshest Brew

Glorious morning’s start

Grasping Creator’s hand

Warmed by faithful, rising sun

Waking His precious land

 

Nature’s intimate breath

Towering forest sings

Harmony’s rhythm soaring

Flying on eagle’s wings

 

Portrait’s autumn colors

Bordering every street

Imagination sails free

Painting each scene, repeat

 

Gentle spirit gathers

Energizing each thought

Another page waits to breathe

Tying landscape’s love knot

 

Trusted clock standing still

Adjusting every view

Tomorrow postponed for now

Tasting fall’s freshest brew
