Stephanie Gianaris Poem
Driving along, the road staring back at me
mid afternoon sun warming the windshield
I discover yellow winking in a sea of green
buttercups bobbing in the wind, catching my eye
momentarily taking my mind away to busier days
filled with peanut butter sandwiches and Kool-aide and laughter
the children running through the yard towards me
stairstep offspring, my little imps with
ruler straight bangs reflecting honey gold and bronze
smiling, voices bubbling over, melodies dancing
like water in a brook, constantly flowing
their saucer eyes wide with wonder, twinkling merriment
proffering sweaty hugs and sticky kisses
I reminisce as the miles pass
the years fly through my wandering mind
amazed that they were so quickly gone I realize now
making a turn towards another kindred home coming into view
the scenery moving ever slower
my mind catches up as the car stops and
a blur dashes down the steps, crossing the lawn
mother fast in tow to keep harm away, greeting me
I stoop down and open wide my arms as
boundless energy leaps towards me with exuberance
"Gramma," is hailed, as chubby arms surround my neck
kissy sounds and huggy noises echo as I pray
"Thank you, God"
knowing that He guided me to this very moment
weaving another thread into the rich tapestry of life.

Stephanie Gianaris Poem
Silvery silence beckons offering a haven of peace
merely close your eyes and listen and time will simply cease.
Open your heart to the moment to reveal the mystical grail
and the timeless breath of heaven will fill your empty sail.
For God created stars in the midnight sky, the majesty of forests green
the eagle that soars on endless winds, the sights still yet to be seen.
Past and future succumb to stillness for in God's presence they do not exist
only His love pure and holy emerge from the heavenly mist.
Focus on only each moment as if a jewel to behold
for each sparkling facet clearly reflects the wisdom of ages old.
