why so gloom, when you are meant to bloom…be humble and be light…you are just so right…enjoy
One Hug
24 May 2015 Leave a comment
Found this spare hug
Looking for a home
Appearing in need of
Some Love and Care
Is there someone,
Somewhere who could use
This lonesome hug…
Blessings to you

The Storm

Clouds are
Gathering
Building in the
East and North
soon in the
South and West
Winds start
To muster
Gathering
speed
a wisp here
a gust there
closing in
a clasp of
thunder
it is still far away
I gasp
as the lightning
flashes
raindrops
start to pour
lightly at first
then gushes
of buckets
of water
fall down
from the sky
someone cries out
lightly please
not all at once
but the rain
continues
puddles form
rivers rise
streets are rivers
flooding everywhere
hard to see
outside
stay indoors
the weather people say
the forecast was for
just under half an inch
five inches so far
and it doesn’t seem
to want to let up
must barricade the
front door
make a passage way
for our escape,
if needed
time to breathe
as the thunder
and rain
seem to let up
some
no time to relax
there is so much
to do…check
everyone
check the forecast
the radar
all clear
time to check the
house and surrounding
area
limbs down
flooded driveway
and backyard
all are safe
otherwise
prayers answered
gratitude as
we enter a new day

Joyney to Destiny

Take a step
In one direction
fall down
some may laugh
some may cry
some may ask
why, why me
Destiny
It is a place
to reach for
Or to become
But is it the reality
of destiny
to overcome
the journey
Or is it the Joyney
that is the true
Destiny
for the smiles
we share
the laughter
the tears
The connection
tying us
one and one
together
Sure we may
fall
or step out
of step
perfection is not
living
Being who we are
Striving to improve
The world
Taking part in the Joyney
Our Destiny is Now
Sharing our Love with one another

One Path to Walk

Days lead up to that one day
long since taught
body is to prepare
and carry a child
Propogate the earth
henceforth is the mission
teach the young
to obey and to believe
here are the laws
don’t waver from them
here are some more
keep the faith
and do well to follow
the plan, my plan
without question
for I alone know
what is to come
others betray the body
the body rejects
Life moves on
Others give birth
moving on with life’s plan
but not in one’s own life
does this happen
words and art form
a life of their own
as they are the creation
that still lives on
in one’s own life
Carrying one forward
Inspiration counts
Creations count
The plan is being
who one is meant to be
not another
acceptance is granted
now awakened

“angel opens up its eyes
as the cracked pot waters
the beautiful roses set before
us coming back into focus
once again as the whispering wind
beacons me to come nearer to thee”
