kindred spirits laughing

a wonderful birthday wedding cake
two celebrations in one
the baker stacked roses and carnations high
in peaches, pinks, and lavenders
delighting she was asked to cater her daughter’s wedding...

Faded photographs
Recall past celebrations,
Moments caught in time.
Thankfully we remember
Loved ones gone to heaven's home.

The breaking of bread.
    When kith and kin reunite,
    All under one roof.
    A time for celebrations,
    With some moments to reflect.

"Life is too short to say no to cake." - Author unknown

A chocolate, vanilla-
sweet kiss on the tongue. 
Rich icing between layers.
For celebrations,
or just a sweet treat.
A treasured -

the milestone attained
a benediction bestowed
so in midst of celebrations
bliss drenched soul presence 
recognising ephemerality 
pulsates in nonchalance 
as during a downturn
watching life unfold...

Colors
Celebrations
City lights
Country gardens
Circling pinwheels
Coastal sunsets
Come and go
Change with seasons
Center the mind
Calm the soul
Colors continue
Certainty in life

JULY

The
Summer
Has begun
Celebrations
On various dates
In USA, the fourth
But elsewhere like on the moon
The first man to take the first step
For mankind, World Population Day
And for myself, well I was born in July...

The New Year's celebrations are over
Back to business as usual, regain our composure
No more acting like a louse
Being obnoxious around the house
No more excuses for acting like our dog Rover

no celebrations
why are soldiers now saints?

My lady
My ladies, younger
One and two 
Can't be taken for granted
Their powerful love
Coloured with forgiveness
Again, I thank my Savior
Jesus, the reassuring joy in my soul
Come death or birth - days
Amen. Shalom shalom friends...

Are weddings only for the young
   Dancing up a storm
Limber in sleek outfits
   Graceful in their form

Older folks gaze wistfully
   Perchance they are quite jealous
Recalling bygone celebrations
   Sealed in tears they will not tell us......

Everybody's going to be hooting tonight
Another year has passed, the celebrations will ignite
Lots of joy juice will be drinked
Then it's over in a blink
We'll look forward to another year, each day a delight

A super month for celebrations! 
Unwrapping all those presents.
Great month for their birthdays.
Under the Virgo sign, naturally kind.
Sons to be so very proud of, always.
Twins were born this wonderful month....

Raise a glass. Make a toast
to celebrate accomplishments and holidays
coast to coast

Joyful reasons
To rejoice and embrace with praise
Seasons

New Years
Fireworks ablaze
Cheers

Raise a glass. Make a toast
To rejoice and embrace with praise
Cheers

When lanterns paint the sky,
I'll weave tulsi trinkets, celebrate divine sight~
while stars fly..

Wings of new moon,
flare as festivals of delight,
in tune.

We praise,
eternal light~
rays.

When lanterns paint the sky,
flare as festivals of delight~
rays....

 elicit contentions
Pondering pander

Delightful scatter
Did I mention?

Glorious glander
Delightful pitter patter

Corporate retention
Rejoicing in grandeur

Remissions regrets repenting in Celebration
