The Spark of Light

The Spark of Light

by Pauline Harris

 

Beginning with the sun

The light grew up big

So much so, it had to leave

And be whisked away

Along the rays

Falling through the clouds

Down to earth it came

Searching for someone

No one person could name

Until spark found

A lonely little soul

Knowing full well

There was joy filled here

Scattered all around

The flames began to grow

For this Light was Love

Continuing to touch

Each soul with joy unbound

Love created laughter

And a sense of safety

All who came to see

Wanted this for you and me

Opportunities, maybe

I see a crack in the window…

many doors have shut…

some have slammed into my face…

some unanswered calls…

somehow that crack in the window

holds something dear…

I move closer…there is a light waves

reaching forth out of the depths…

gravitating towards me…

I hunger for its wisdom…

I hunger for its path…

unknowing where it may lead…

my lust for something new

and different excites me…

I must follow…

cautiously

I step up…here I am…

ready or not…I am here now…

thank you for the crack in the window~pharris2011

Keep On Loving

Keep on Loving

Expressions of gratitude

Fill our soul with

 

Sparks of Light

Brightening us all

 

Others may find pleasure

In mocking or discrediting

 

But the real joy

Is found in Love

Love that is shared

By those who cared

Keep on Loving

And spreading the wealth

In the passion called Love

And blessings will follow

Maybe some tears

Love is eternal

And found everywhere

The Day of the Smiles

“This story began with a smile. One day, I woke up and was rather happy. So I smiled. My eggs for breakfast did not crack right. I spilled some water for my tea. Yet I smiled. Got into my car and had forgotten my purse. So went back inside with a smile. I figured there is a plan for this day, not my plan. I will go with the flow. On my way, someone passed me then turned to get off on the next exit. Another person sped passed me weaving in and out. I took my time. Later on saw the one who was speeding in an accident and hoped everyone was okay. Lastly, I saw this man on the corner not dressed very well holding up a sign. I thought to myself, he is probably another homeless person wanting food. However, I was wrong. The sign simply said smile. The guy looked at me and pointed to the sign. I smiled and so did he.”~pharris

Solitude

Misty fog had rolled in
I stood there watching
Deep in the forest
Trees surrounding me
Winds hollaring whispers
Words of unconscious wisdom
My mouth closed shut
My mind set in between
Neither wanting to speak
Quietly I stood and gazed
No words were spoken
And yet a multitude of
Emotions ran through
My veins
Bringing my breathing
Almost to a standstill
Lost in the moment
I took a deep breath
Awakening my spirit
Remembering and
Forgiving in order to
Move forward
Ever focused
On love
Carrying me
Along this path
Forwards
On to new
Adventures
Grateful
For the joyney

In Solitude with others

Drink Up

Sitting quietly

Alone with thoughts

Reaching out

To get the clear container

Slowly opening the lid

Moving the bottle

Lips puckered with thirst

The liquid streamed down

Deep into the belly

Emptying the desire

Only to reach for another

Down it went like the other

Thoughts seem distant

As another swig of desire

Twinkled down the throat

Refreshing water

Soothed my thirst

Satisfied for now

I move on…I have to move on
