August’s final countdown

School campuses alive

Summer’s vanishing breath

Autumn’s changes soon arrive

 

Dog days’ final heatwave

Students receiving books

Life’s transitioning steps

Autumn paints nature’s crisp look

 

Calendar page now turns

Summer’s final footsteps

Cooler weather ahead

Autumn’s leaf-colored doorsteps

 

Landscape’s pace quiets down

While football fans cheer on

Rustling of drying leaves

Autumn sketches, far from gone

 

Timeless journey transcends

Harvest complete, fields bare

Classrooms find their rhythm

Autumn’s presence everywhere

It now costs more to amuse a child than it once did to educate his father.

The best way to remember your wife’s birthday is to forget it once.

As Americans, our nation heals and comes together when we can be open and honest about remembering the failed experiments from our nation’s past.

Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air, and you.

Let America be America, where equality is in the air we breath.

Monday Memories: Coming Home

This poem is dedicated to the many lives which have come and gone along the tracks of the Great Northern Railroad from years ago.  Perhaps you can feel the living spirit still riding the Empire Builder passenger train across the Hi-Line of Montana.

Feeling a bit like heaven

Blessed Big Sky, almost home

Paradise spelled as two words

Riding free, spirit’s train roams

 

Scanning God’s creative touch

Mountains shaped by nature’s hand

Valleys carved out by rivers

Dreaming of this treasured land

 

Stirring up past memories

Iron horse roaring at top speed

Long ago, been here before

Coming home, spirits now freed

 

Flashing by Hi-Line’s vast farms

Cropland caresses these tracks

Golden fields of wheat ripen

Waiting for harvest’s comeback

 

Fading daylight turns to night

Darkness covers Montana’s peace

Town lights twinkle here and there

Thinking back to life’s past lease

 

Climbing through Marias Pass

Glacier Park saying good-bye

Big Sky’s wonder never fades

Ageless spirit, dropping by

Thought will not work except in silence.

The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) was a Scottish-born essayist, historian, and philosopher.  He was a leading writer of the Victorian era.
