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
