Poem Title:
Poem
Reflections Looking up above, at the blue sky, at the white doves, as the rain is coming from a distant cloud, at the mountains staring back so calmly displayed, like a post card, in my back yard. While the kids fly kites, and the trees dance in the breeze, humming birds reach the red succulent nester from porches with feeders waiting to just get one seconds glimpse. The little kids out on tricycles, on roller skates, laughing and rolling in grass chasing bubbles, call it love –what a sight to see. When we finally are talking freely and honest to anyone, and they laugh and they smile at appropriate times, and then it goes from a possibility to true chemistry something that can last. A friendship that is founded on the real you. When we are naked with our thoughts, and wants, ourselves like a seed we sprout up and crave more and it creates more buds within us to grow, like a tree, the love, water, nutrients, care and beauty so powerfully stimulating and it only awakens the best within us, which naturally pulls all that sees in our direction to celebrate and become a part of such a beautifully organic, authentically, natural living being. Which we find at one time or another to call life. Real living. Now you can breathe…easily. The past is not history but it’s a part of our history, helping to mold us up into who we are destined to be. Not the end but the beginning, not to knock us out but so we- get up more humble. Not to cage us, disarrange us or take the trust that we seek, but to make us trust in fully in the right things, the priority God first and everything else will follow. Filled hearts that once were hollow, dreams lost at one time now easy to follow and execute with passion that abides. With the right one on our side. Equipped with the right armor to obtain all things we seek according to His will. On a blanket my body rest, looking into the sunset as the sand is gently laid upon my feet, and the kids are chasing those beautiful waves, as the dolphins do their tricks in the oceans obese, the sky is filled with birds all in sequence dancing in the sky, the breeze is subtle but present, soft but fierce, loving but firm. What a life to witness, a blessing to recite, a real appreciation life. ©StephanieGutierrez2015
