Be not sad.

Premium Member It's a Boy

In April, on a still night droning on. . . .
an infant’s first shrill cry fills a hospital hallway;
six waiting siblings and a dad whoop happily!

Life Is a Puzzle

No matter how hard 
one tries to make his travel
of life a haven
the flowers of happiness

Life is a puzzle,
it can be flowers or weeds.
O, for a haven-
In books I travel the world,
tranquility my reward!

Premium Member My Late Husband, Rip

I couldn’t bear to bury him
             like I knew I should -
I just had to pickle him
             like I always said I would.

Starlight

There are trillions of stars in our sky
I can only count a few
It takes millions of years for starlight
To reach me where I stand in the cold night air
All the stars that I see could have died
half a million years ago - or more
And I would never know

whisper of lilac in the summer’s day
variety of flowery fragrances wafting
streaming sunbeams warming gray striped tabby
mums and petunias decorating wrap-around porch
wasps and bees collecting butterflies and faeries
country magic adorned with marigolds, tomatoes, and roses

Premium Member Life At a Glance

Listen to poem:
humble observer
as the world
spins
around me

i step
in and out
to readjust
my focus

it’s a fine balance
as i walk
the tightrope
of sanity

i hold on preciously 
to the delicate flower
that is hope
keeping my eye
on the finish line

Premium Member A Lonely Girl



I wandered the forest alone -
the cool my cloak,
with touch the sky trees my cathedral and haven.
and birds singing a symphony.
The forest was full of wonder and awe,
for a lonely girl with raven hair.
The streams rippled over time worn rocks-
and wildflowers grew,
and nature wrapped her arms around a sad girl.

Life Is a Boomerang

LIFE IS A BOOMERANG



Life is a boomerang 
What you give you get it back
So, balance your Yin and Yang
This’s an essential hack!

With love fill your tray
Spread joy and cheer 
Prejudice be kept at bay
Let not fear come near

Fling vibes of happiness
Gift others your trust
Hurl loads of goodness
Propel propriety with thrust!

Premium Member Bob

Bob, a poor boy that has nothing; will not bow down to any king
Dad, his Lady, and old Nana too; do not know what Bob can do
With a strong faith, Bob walks blindly; a path of Divinity finally
Bringing a poor boy to a giant hill, on top a big bright void to fill
God and only Son, Christ, cry; as BOB is watching and  slowly walking by
                          Looking back, thinking "Shall I ?"
