My Silent Strength

My thoughts are fluid
Gushing rivers of rhyme and reason
Winds of change and a variety of seasons
Dreams and emotions
A journey on streams to oceans
My views are a snapshot of the universe around me
Deep within my psyche I see 
Lazuline skies 
And gold dust butterflies 
Whisking rushes of the night stars
Tree trunks the shade of chocolate bars 
The music of earth settling in the for day 
The morning hush, the scent of a spring bouquet 
I feel blessed for the humanity I feel 
A gift from God I love to reveal
And he is with me during my sorrow and my rejoice 
He is silent, 
But I listen, and hear his voice

Laura, there is something so magical here, it gave me chills. I can feel your inspiration and your descriptive words are perfect and amazing. I so know those last two lines as they seem to contradict one another, yet they do not. Thanks about my Thanksgiving poem. Yes, my dad is 86 and still with us. I am so blessed. You must miss your parents, as I know with my mom it doesn't matter how many years ago she passed. Have a beautiful holiday. With love, Shar
