Joy Spoerndli Poem
The bitter kiss
Forgive me please ahead of time
But I must write just one more rhyme
I gave my husband my whole heart and left for just awhile
But he was set on fantasy of a 20 something’s smile
Thus he left behind integrity, to surf the internet beast
And found a slew of young beauty’s upon which his eyes could feast
Then after it was over, satisfied, he walked away
Not thinking for a moment, the price we’d both have to pay
Of bringing forth rejection to his wife whose heart is true
And creating an atmosphere for wounds and scars to brew
Now humiliation is her covering as she desperately tries to heal
Yet her thoughts turn deeply inward to the fact that she IS real
She can’t compete with fantasies of boob and butt and thigh
Particularly as she is 53 and they are only 18 to 25
How do I heal, she asks herself, and what can I do about this?
She cries and prays and cries some more and then greets him with a kiss

Joy Spoerndli Poem
Live Life Large
Drink deeply of life, sipping all of its flavors
Enjoy the precious moments as they sparkle and shine
Shine you must
Dance when the wind comes
As autumn twirls its gold red leaves, jump in and twirl too
Lift your arms up to a cornflower blue sky and wave hello
Daydream in a green field of jewel toned wild flowers
Dream you must
Sigh with your old friend the moon as he winks and twinkles at you
Gaze at the stars as they glow in indigo night. Make a wish and keep it close
Embrace the seasons as they fly by, each one more colorful than before
Embrace you must
Taste the first snowflake as it floats on down from the slate grey sky
Taste you must
Breathe in the crisp cool air and delight in day as winter paints it a snowy white
Drink, Shine, Dance, Dream, Sigh, Gaze, Embrace, Taste, Breathe and live life in the largest way
You must!

Joy Spoerndli Poem
Patterned in love, your life it shines
Sharing so freely, “what’s yours, is mine,”
You hold nothing back from the Father of lights
Even when walking thru darkest of nights
Your smile lights our lives, like the light of the day
as you live to love and take time to pray
Your tapestry of colors, so beautiful to behold
In bright jeweled tones of lavender and gold
Keep looking up to the brilliance of sky
As His promise are great, His presence is nigh
In beauty and rare fragrance, you are His delight
He’ll pick up your burdens, your worries, your fight
As you lay it all down at His righteous right hand
In your adventure, by His side you will stand

Joy Spoerndli Poem
Marshmallow clouds float lazily by
Showing off fluff to blue bonnet sky
Seagulls and pelicans ride on the wind
Soaring and gliding to make their descent
Farmlands flash by dressed in celery green
Colors of butternut and gold can be seen
Architectural delights of wood, glass and stone
Stand tall like monuments, though never alone
Snow white tipped mountain peaks frame this great land
Framing the earth by the masters great plan

Joy Spoerndli Poem
Winter’s Masterpiece
Snowy powdery day brought snowflakes dancing
On crystallized glistening pond
Everywhere sunset fell, halo’s glittered and disappeared
Then silence, tiptoed in, soothing and soft
Wrapping us up in a cozy blanket of stillness
While pearly white and palest of colors
Hid flaws on the cold frozen ground
Inhaling deeply, one breathes in winters master piece
The crispy air, tangy with pungent fragrance of fir and pine
It releases memories of history past
They hang for a moment suspended in time and
Then skip away to waltz another yester year
The essence of winter sustained by splendor,
Hope and sweet lyrical moments

Joy Spoerndli Poem
Splash in a mirror of glistening mud puddles
Take time to make mud pies, do a caterpillar cuddle
Then stand still, listen well, let the wind tickle your ears
Breathe in deep, then exhale, let go of all your fears
Sing a new song to the moon as it wakes up the night
Wave to the stars glimmering in their brilliant light
Stretch your imagination to delight the child in you
Finger painting in the sand with natures golden hue
Mix your day together with smiles, love and laughter
Be true to your dreams, live a life happy ever after
