Short Untroubled Poems

cranes fly away mad
angry as ponds untroubled
hounds annoyed with cranes

Epigram 

To have few secrets is a recipe 
For an untroubled life. 
But those who have no secrets
Must have lived a boring life....

Sitting in an art class
A new person speaks
"Art is fresh air for the mind"
They say
I feel it
I'm carving lino
For a reduction print
Untroubled...

An Image

Of a beautiful bird or person.

Of a huge Mountain.

Of a stream of water.

Of a new attitude.

Of a bridge over untroubled water.

Of An Image of the world....

My hands are my vessel
to drink at the stream
The bank gives me a bed
a perfect place to dream
Under ardent skies I drift 
untroubled, unworried
As burdens flow away
for the stream absorbs x...

THE PAIN-FREE DENTIST

Now a dentist who’s rich and quite willing
Offers painless extraction and filling
Patients blissful succumb
Quite untroubled and numb
Rest pain-free until they see the billing...

Christmas

through a child’s
star gazing eyes
shines magical holy
sanctified by a loving heart
unswerving belief in the good of all
joy in abundance
flows through the days
dreams, untroubled, decorate
long frosted nights
laughter like bells  
Christmas....

Strolling by slow flowing rivers
Edge, shaded by serene willow
Trees, sweet smells of meadow grasses
birds sing in perfect harmony, 

An orchestra, sounds of lapping water,
Gentle Breeze, fluttering leaves, glorious.

MESSENGERS 


Serene leisurely flight of dandelion weightless 
Seed puff balls,   thoughts ascending
Across the  void measureless
Between the marguerites and the hedging.


Untroubled, they silently float, glide,
Delivering the seed of an idea
On the air’s measureless tide
From  somewhere else to here....

From yours over there
To ours, hereround
What contrariness of sky
Reflects the eye?

And do swifts, I doubt
Swallows, this neat
Weave, of the jovial
What is visual.

Nor while conceding
To a bias
Of summer day pride
No joy-leaps hide

Can be imagined
This placid blows
As untroubled of face
For clouds what grace....

Edenic laughter of childhood
Caressed by carefree joy
Take us with you
To the land of unmeasurable 
Mirth with endless possibilities
God bless the besties
Young and untroubled
Stirring up the puddle waves
Making mud pies
Walking circles atop sandbox tire
Arm in arm
No enemies
Friends Forever

Totally peaceful~ a picnic in the park.
Restful~  relaxing~ fishing~ riverside.
Amazing~ building castles~ at oceans edge.
No strife ~ no stress~ cloud watching.
Quiet and calming~ a  misty midnight walk.
Untroubled ~ unusual~ under the moss draped oaks.
Idyllic ~ impressive~ stars on a black velvet sky.
Longed for~ nature's music~ lovers hand in hand....

A lapis-lazuli sky
above tranquility’s waves,
nature’s sedative for
urban ills.

peace sails upon
the untroubled waters
of serenity here;
Gaia’s womb
that placid waterway
preserving sanity.

I float upon these dream waters,
into otherworldly seas
of harmonic bliss;
lapis-lazuli dreams
are jewels of the 
contented psyche.

I feel quiet; most serene-
the rage that swells in me subsides...
Limpid dreams and silent streams
(Eden scenes and sleepy tides)

Tranquil themes, untroubled times-
patient, placid, peaceful Minds.
Unruffled rest, sedated crest;
Reconciled determined Rhymes

fill my brain with calming cleanse;
focused thoughts through laser lens.
Cool, collected directed pens-
From the Heart my poems stem....

A man in a black suit, and cane drawn
wandering above the sea of fog 
wildlife, mountains, lakes, and bog

Untroubled Heaven in his eyes for the moment
fields of green, awaken refreshed at dawn
where salmon runs the rivers blue to spawn

where shaggy mane elks labor their spring calves
black-tailed and mule deer birth their newborn
a habitat full of wildlife species that are born

She is not conflicted youth
Nor is she wisdom's solace
She is not untroubled virtue
Nor aloof neglect
She is not the condemned's justice
Or the penitent's salvation

She is not barricaded faith
Nor is she candlelit belief
She is not invisible
Although she is unseen

She is not pity's allurement
Nor is she pride, unshamed
She is but a cold gravestone's
Crumbled, abandoned name.

The touch of lips- brief and soft.
There was no more grief.
This evening forever lost in memory.
Through the ripples of untroubled water, we sat.
The waves rolled closer.
Together we crashed by the pull of the tide.
Anxiously losing track of time.
The wave- thick, unforgiving. 
Retraced its step.
And I forever lost.
Forever inhaling it's essence.
Forever remembering that night with closed eyes....

My love is tired of me.

It has been that way for a long time,

helped by me, too swiftly....

I spilled too many tears,

I fell down too often.

I was only ill and unlucky person,

I had too many questions.

But it desired rest and joy, 

sitting untroubled near a cheerful fire

and watching TV in the evening.

My love is tired of me,

and the grief of centuries

squeezes my shoulders....

Barley universes on the scented road
Where I sat within sun swept gold, 
that grew so tall in the autumn lea
untroubled by warm hedgerows
Miles of swept and hissing tops
Where I could read or doze awhile


And between my eyes and the spire
in the distance a car hurried by
Beyond the rise where swallows reel 
telling me of blue and pinky cloud
Beckoning me on to further fields
to rest awhile on summers road...

In life I, alone and
untroubled, sought
company and solace,
in equal proportions.
The more I found,
the greater the want.
Impetuosity replaced caution.

Mistakes were many,
successes so seldom.
The thrill of the game
became all important.
Rush headlong further
toward disappointment
Ignoring well intended advice

Now, intent faded,
resentment settles, 
as a storm. I dream,
I recall friendly days,
and need my Love to keep me warm...

AIRY  MESSENGERS 

Serene weightless flight of dandelion 
Seed puff-balls :  thoughts ascending,
Gestating across the invisible void  -
Untroubled, they silently float, glide,
Delivering  a concept
On the air  measureless 
From  somewhere else to here.

The flames lap and ripple,
rise into the air.
Roar their destructive power,
hypnotise unaware.

Six months have passed now,
since you went to sea.
Our babe slumbers on,
untroubled, on my knee.

My heart's sinking fast,
under the blue of my dress.
Waves of fabric lap legs,
my limbs are restless.

You haven't seen your son yet-
left when I was in full sail.
Please come home soon my darling,
my strength is starting to fail....

Times when u were young ,
A thought strikes me
Trees shade in scorching sun
Mid aged acceptance 

Strong roots for little grass
Heads first prior 
Maker's unconditional affection 
Follow the steps

Untroubled upturn for keeping 
Untroubled upturn for nourishing 
Wasn't a function for prospect,
But desire for bliss

We dont long for inconsistent affection 
Nor tenderness of our veins 
But unexpected shields of planted trees...

Souls that speak across the chasm
Still cannot be chased over cliff edges
Each of us seeks recognition, resonance and a place to rest
Just as being a lost soul is wearisome and makes the bearer heavy
A divine soul brings light and lightness
Steps become untroubled when they are in the right direction 
Then and only then do the chasms cease to be and sentience to true purpose, fulfillment and the blissful state of existing within the light emerge...

I would give it all away
  the collector's display of valuables untouched
if only you would stay.

The shadows take hold
  and as your eyes close
I know you have to go.

If I prayed and pleaded
 would God change his mind
leaving you just as I want and needed.

Life is such an unknown struggle
 where we tread in wonder and caution
to let love come and go untroubled.

I would give it all away
 don't say goodbye,
just one more day, stay....
