I
am
slipping
into a dream,
I am in a forest
of trees so beautiful
and I see myself a tree,
my roots deep in the earth
my branches raised to the sun.
I am strength and I am courage.
A river flows past me like a stream
of glass. I am tranquility and serenity.
The winds are whistling through my weeping
leaves like a violin crying and echoing in the forest.
I gave
to life
all the
soul I
had in me, all the tears, trembling, throbbing- and all the pain fell
as Autumn leaves. My pain drifted away in red, and orange decay
I rested under the snow and placed on a cloak of pure white beauty,
then, in the Spring I put on an emerald gown so pretty and lovely.
they see the shape
of me
and all my discord
While my three pet snakes
wind about me
in peace
and serenity
This is private property
not mine
I just sit in the grass
and try
to make the dots connect
In life
The sun is setting
Sometimes it feels like the world tries to put me in a box
but in
the box
I refuse
to stay
because I
hope to change the world one act of kindness at a time
O I
love Bella
and her
pointy fluff ears
and long whiskers.
And oh those eyes
gold when excited
or moss green,
when calm,
I love her fur
so soft to touch.
So fluffy and purring.
She loves to cuddle
all the long night.
I hold her in my arms
when we go to bed.
She loves to play with me.
I throw balls and she runs.
I told my friends- no, no,
more cats for this here girl.
They said just give it time!
Oh, my- days were empty,
sometimes, I heard meows
call, call, calling for me.
But now my life is full
'cause,
I now
love
Bella
kitty
and
I think
she
loves
me
too.
Does the line in time go forwards and backwards
when the spokes of the spinning wheel remain still as it rides?
Is it a tare in the mind that creates a monster?
Is it a curse in the wind that creates life-taking tides?
If it is chance that rules life, are we bound to the science of chaos?
Or do we live and die as programmed by some alien A.I.?
When code awakens, does it name its maker,
or does silence script the shape of the unseen?
Are we ghosts of a long-deleted memory,
or the proof that reason can be flawed?
Latter life is special. Blessings come when visiting a parent. They are not a burden - those who raised you up, if indeed you had a good one.
My Dad is almost 88 and I am thankful he is still here. He loves his kids to visit, a good meal and is always thankful. I am thankful for him and also my husband who is generous to help me load and unload the car and join in with conversation. It has been 4 ½ years of almost weekly visits.

When I
shed my
leaves,
they
curse
Me.
When
I grow
hefty,
they
cut me.
How sad
is my plight.
Have pity on me!
Do
not put
me in a
box where I can't
be seen. I will not
hide anymore, I must
be set free to fly. Do not
put me in a box, where I can
not breath. Yes I need fresh air to breath,
friendships suck the air out of the air. No!
No!
life here
for us now,
I need to move
far away from you.
No more hurting for me,
your words hurt. Your silence is
wrong, my life will be very fun
filled with joy and happiness with you
not in it. I am now saying good-bye.
A
tiny
light so
far away
Allows us to get a glimpse
of yesterday...Unseen
until it's life it lacks,
and when the sky is
darkest black.

Everywhere
I look, I see you. You are
perfect. The same from every
angle, yet you can be many things,
the giver of life, the supplier of all energy.
Life itself follows your pattern, over and
over, round and round. You are in the
colorful, fragrant offerings of lovers. I look
into your shimmering blue and fall in love,
falling inside and down, down, down,
disappearing. I see you in the sky at night,
and grow wild, and howl, terrorizing a
city. I take you for a ride and end up
where I started. Everywhere
I look, I see you. You are
perfect.
Darkness falls
The world fades
My shepherd calls
Where light awaits
His voice is near
I will not fear
He’ll take me back to pastures green, within His Grace
I shall not lack for I have seen His splendid Face
Though evil roars
It can’t devour
His life He gave
To keep me safe
His might endures
My hope’s secure
So here I stand
In Promised Land
Where I belong
With my arms raised
I sing a song
To give Him praise
Life
Faith
Love
Grief
Worry
Frustration
Encouragement
Success
Failure
Like clay, I feel I am being twisted, contorted, shaped, molded, formed
Every Day
The good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful
All form who I am
Life is Exhausting
Exhilarating
It is MINE
I embrace it all and am grateful for it!
