A Friend 8/18/11
A friend is someone who is connected to your heart,
They lift you up when you fall apart,
The bond never broken is there for all time,
To love and cherish in your heart and mind.
The Cove 8/9/11
The cove is quiet and still. Waters gently lap the shore.
Sun already risen warms the sky.
Pale blue color shows the day.
Another day has begun....
Birds already risen have flown away.
Street is empty, few cars drive by..
I sit and listen to the world awake.
Boat Ride 8/10/11
Boat cuts through the water like a knife,
I’m holding the rail the breath taking sight,
No sounds or birds are in the air,
Gentle wind whips my hair.
Sightly chilled, laughing with a friend by my side
We watch the sunset, enjoy the ride.
Three Birds 8/11/11
Three birds in a nest weather the storms,
Trying their best to keep warm,
Through thick and thin they huddle together,
Watching out for each other in all sorts of weather,
Being so cheerful and smiling inside,
Braving the winds enjoying the ride.
The Night 8/9/11
Deep blue water is the night sky with
lights that twinkle showing us the the way,
We pick out the constellations and talk as we
walk by pulling the dogs on a quiet night.
A Summer Night 7/27/11
Walking on a summer night as sunset leaves and dusk arrives.
Summer sounds are in the air, planes, birds as the sky light changes into night.
Darkness approaches, sunset rays no more on the horizon.
Blue gray sky begins to show, the moon peaks it’s face into the sky,
Birds outside quiet down, the world’s asleep and peaceful.
Patterns 7/18/11
Patterns like old habits woven into our lives, rugs, worn and frayed. Pulling out old patterned yarns to make new ones.
Changing the way we think and act. Realizing the way some things we’d done didn’t work. Not seeing the lesson then.
Throwing our energy to the wind without getting the return flow back. Thinking from the head and not the heart.
Feeling exhausted inside, no new fuel to keep the drive going. I heard my voice say “stop” inside my head. How long
Has it been? Helping others first? I’d forgotten about my own needs- fueling my fire. I finally listened and heard it.
Knowing now I can’t pull everyone’s weight. Must let go, of this anchor. Others saw what I didn’t see. I couldn’t accept
The change I had to make inside myself. Reaching for something that I hadn’t answered myself until now.
Your Favorite Song 9/7/11
Hearing your favorite song on the cd,
Grips my soul,forgiving you.
Tears run down my face out of control,
understanding the words hearing what they say.
Feeling sad I couldn't take your pain away.
Knowing how you felt now, like sand against the tide
washing away your strength while you cry inside.
Messages 9/22/11
What messages are there in life's journeys?
Stops, starts and hesitation?
Different and difficult decsions on what paths we take.
Always asking questions, looking for answers.
Only finding them when you listen to your heart.
Music 10/1/11
Music soothes the soul,
Brings joy to the heart.
Giving life meaning and direction.
Taking away sorrow and pain.
Restoring peace.
Ripples 10/5/11
A pebble is thrown into the water. It sinks to the bottom never to be seen again.
But, where it enters the surface ripples appear almos invisible at first,
Then slowly they branch out on a endless plane. Like the ripples we don't know how much
influence we have to make a difference from one circumstance. Or don't always see the
changes that happen or take place.
The Moon 10/5/11
Silently the moon rises over the water, sending its shimmering reflection upon the gentle waves
below. On this clear night you hear the waves lapping at the getty,while the moon shines its light
for all to see.
Energy 10/5/11
Energy is around us all. We move together in a circle as one.
Each of us swaying like palm trees in a breeze.
Passing is along.
New Faces 10/16/11
New faces making friends,
sharing stories turning a bend.
New adventures laughing around, good time ahead.
What next can be found?
Making cracks in my outside wall,
letting light in having a ball.
The Morning Light 10/19/11
It's 6am dark outside. Fog is heavy like a blanket
of snow, Hard to see.
Like a ghost it hangs around, slowly lifting off the ground.
The dawn approaches it is first light. Away goes the fog into the
light.
Meadow Grasses 10/26/11
Meadow grasses sway to the movement of the wind.
Gracefully and silently like a golden river.
She 11/2/11
Who is she?
Standing on a sandy beach feeling the energy of the world around her.
Who is she?
A tree bending in the wind, moving to the pulsing rhythum of the ocean.
Who is she?
Holding a ball of evegy as she moves from side to side, opening up herself to the universe.
She is me.
Breathing 11/24/11
Energy flowing into my heart opening and closing like a flower.
Bringing me to a higher place. My body rising on a floating pad
remembering you... Like it was yesterday.
Time 11/27/11
Time changes all things, thoughts, bodies, minds in all of us.
What we thought was safe isn't.
What fears we had are now here.
We are forced to take steps on paths we didn't choose.
They're unexpected changes as we go ahead. Time moves forward though
we try and hold it back.
Candle 11/30/11
Each of us is acndle with light glosing inside. Spreading warmth and
friendship to the world. We give light to the darkest reaches of our souls.
Showing it a path to follow, making a difference one day at a time.
