The Nova Scotia I Know

How I enjoy an

Autumn trail

with colour beneath

my feet- 

a wind of chill 

against my cheek.

 

After heaving breath

from hilly Cape

Blomidon’s

strict incline-

a good time to rest.

 

Peering into  

a plethora of woods

a kingly moose  

captures my gaze-                                                

the cry of calm

from a Loon’s salute

far below.

The tinkle of bells

as birch leaves

bring me a smile.

 

At 2am a presence

chases away the dream

perhaps the nurse

making her rounds

and looking up

I see my wife

beautiful in her glow

she’s come alone-

sent to take me home.

Hi Rhiannon, Not lately in hospital, just using creative thoughts about issues which will come to pass one day I allow my creative thoughts to get exercise in all subjects, etc. Hope all is well with you in this age of Covid-19.  -Richard LP
