Short On Firm Ground Poems

Baby steps lay firm ground for success...

Light snow falling soft
Brushed gently on the firm ground
The icy wind hushed
Pale moonlight pearled the flakes
In landing the snow awakes...

Deep roots in firm ground
Silver moonlight boldly plays
Magic with the stars

Cool the salty air
Draft of a slow, lazy dawn
Waves wet on my hands...

laying within you
I find myself very free
connected by more than love
you are my firm ground
never will I feel this safe
enveloped in your strong care
you love me and mine
through every trial and error
keep and love me, my best friend...

And when I declared love
It was forbidden.
So sad it was taken.
I was underneath this holey blanket,
Changing my mind all the time.
What direction was the light coming from?
The answer is all directions.
Love stands on firm ground,
While hitting you in waves and dreams....

trapped in the open
we are free within
free will boon yet bane
of what use is mind
misaligned from heart

the sky above
firm ground below
we know not yet
true life purpose

in silence
tranquil calm
truth is known

we feel
within

God

Vibrant fertility;
bountiful guardians adorn your embrace.
Fallen soldiers; 
lay limp scattered on the firm ground. 
Naked abandonment;
vulnerability exposed for all humanity.
Reawakened hope; 
dewy beads spring new beginnings.

I will be your ground
Supporting you in every way
I will be the shoulder you lean on.
Even as you pray

Your dream will be my dream.
I will support your every step.
Your happiness will be my happiness.
However, your spirit must be prepped.

You will never have to worry.
My ground is solid as a rock.
It shall be your firm foundation.
And your dreams, it will unlock....

Zipline
  is fine

And fun
   when done

Hold tight
   with might

Intense
   suspense

Keep eyes
   toward skies

Look down
   and frown

It hops
   treetops

To fall
   you’ll bawl

Moves fast—
   a blast

Though great
   can’t wait

For feet
   to meet

On sound
   firm ground!

Within toxic seas
nonchalant eye sees
venom spread outcome
that makes our heart numb.

Slow strangulation
dampens elation,
though bliss strobes remind
us, we should not mind.

The role we enact
requires love and tact,
as our life's learning,
'twixt pain barbs churning.

With feet on firm ground, 
bliss on the rebound
banishes our pain
and cleanses heart's stain.

Vapor trails of jetting Jets
Pattern the dawn blue sky;
I gaze unseeing the passengers
With courage to fly, not as I.

Without firm ground beneath my shoes,
Fear straddles my old shawled shoulders.
Is this what it is, I muse
To be “older” and growing “older.”

In my closed eyes a boulder rises to my face,
Safe, soft statistics drift like shreds, crumble.
In my world this feeble flying fear
Freezes good sense; I am humbled....

Fly, Not As I

Vapor trails of jetting Jets
Pattern the dawn blue sky;
I gaze unseeing the passengers
With courage to fly, not as I.

Without firm ground beneath my shoes,
Fear straddles my old shawled shoulders.
Is this what it is, I muse
To be “older” and growing “older.”

In my closed eyes a boulder rises to my face,
Safe, soft statistics drift like shreds, crumble.
In my world this feeble flying fear
Freezes good sense; I am humbled....

A lifeless body twitching
lying on the ground
With blood and guts folding out
among the cold firm ground

Your wounded eyes beam among
the image on a cross
Thinking of the ones you love
and the life that you had lost

Trying to breathe is getting hard
knowing you talk to much
But you ask God for one last prayer
families heart you wish to touch

You have explored down demon trails
and made up very well
But seeing you forgave no one
you will follow their trails to hell...
