Best Easing Poems

Lifting winds cut through the trees
Scouring all of coppered leaves,
Now swirling in the autumn sky,
To flutter down, like butterflies.

Winter now, she bides her time
For soon enough her clock will chime.
She'll open wide her icy hand,
And cast her spell across the land.

In the trees, will squirrels doze.

Blue colored pansies
planted with the yellow ones
Soft fragile petals
spread color in the garden
In vision, easing the mind

anxious
substernal pain
a reassuring voice
Paramedic skill, care, finesse
relief



Dedicated to Ontario’s first Paramedic (1985)
who you want at your side if you’re sick,
always at mine, my husband, James Ramage

adrift the rift of dawn and dusk,
i lather in what made me unclean-
i softly whisper to one silent star…
“may you ease me from afar”

a dalliance of hope feeds me-
my intellect tender, 
heart coarse;
always hungry for what drains me, 
clinging onto what already let me go-

A thick fog wraps it tenacles
Encapsulating all
Visibility limited
Floats summer into fall

As the autumn sun rises high
Its warmth dries and heats 
But less warmth and humidity 
With earlier nightfalls

The crickets early this morning
Serenaded the moon
Knowing soon their last love song sung
Will be crooned in quick tune

Doves...

 When stress begins to take control
 and you're at your wits end
 Just take some time to ease your mind,
 Relax a while, you'll start to mend
 Some turn to drugs and alcohol to ease the stress
 But that only makes it worse
 You'll...

Remembering you still here
Pulling off my boots
Like you used to
Smiling at your memory

Blonde wild streaming hair
Piercing blue lovely eyes
Looking down at me
From stallion lofty perch

You were my hero
So strong yet delicate
Holding me so tight
Thought you'd never go

Least not before me
Still knowing you're waiting
Never lost my...

One day as a child,
I saw a dog struggling
to rise on its two feet;
it had been hit by a vehicle
on the road.

My eyes, in the midst of tears,
I prayed to God,
asking him to ease the dog's pain away;
its howling was breaking me apart in the...

There once was an accountant named Laverne
Her clients' loyalty she'd always earn --
   She never talked tax
   She gave them Ex-lax --
Made it so 'easy' to file their return

When swift wind is blowing
and birds free breeze the dale
my hopeless heart is lightened
gone the gloomy gale.

When sweet child is playing
and laughs full loud with glee
my mirthless mind is gladdened
gone the sorrowed sea.

When mauve moon is rising
and stars shine through the night
my shadowed soul is...

From the blue the intense downpours
pull off impurities of floors.
Burst into tears eases the hearts
and confronts upsets of all sorts.

Wanting to laugh, instead I cry.
I need to accept, but I continue to defy.

Hoping to find love, feeling too much hate.
I want to believe, but I can't relate.

I see only darkness, yet I yearn for light.
I must be all wrong, but I feel I am...
