We leave various hues and
patterns of our lives in
the passing seasons,
pause to reflect in those
somber moments

baffled by the smudges
as mistaken-love affair
or breaches out of despair

we somehow pull through
then turn, armed with
gained insight to tackle
the coming winter

We embrace arduous
repetition of seasons
the intrinsic beauty of
renewal that follows
juxtapose colors
and forms of our days

*
It happened again, the mass killing!
This time not by a terrorist but an insane person.
A man fired gun at the innocent, music lovers in concert
in Las Vegas, killing at least 59 people and jnjuring numerous
people.  Prayers and condolences go to the victims and their
families.
