Caryl Ramsdale Poem
Time unwinds where river tears spill
O’er river rock, when angels stand still.

Caryl Ramsdale Poem
Mutely, tearfully
Swallowed up, submerged in grief
Remembering calls
You may leave us a message—
At the sound of the tone please…

Caryl Ramsdale Poem
Striking colored lights dazzle
Her dynamic dance routines—
Wearing stagehands to a frazzle
Illuminating live scenes
Spotlighting three tambourines.
Her shimmering white tights cast
Opalescence unforeseen
Climaxing one last bright blast.

Caryl Ramsdale Poem
In the faraway kingdom of my imagination;
My land of make believe thrived on one Disney creation.
Join me here; you’ll never spend a more enchanting ev’ning.
Over there is Cendrillon. Step lightly. Hear her singing?
Terrible Lady Tremaine rules missy with the sweet voice;
Loving parents died apart leaving the maid with no choice.
Stepsisters waste their lives here…bungling, fumbling Drisilla
And big-toed Anastasia—so vile; so like their mamá.
Royal orders bid damzels here to heed the regal ball;
Prince Charming’s quest to find a wife would dawn after nightfall.
Grandeur turned the ugly heads of two secretly scheming
To wed the purple crowned prince who would one day be their king.
“Sweep the halls and flight of stairs”, Cendrillon’s stepmother snaps.
“Do the dishes, light the fire, bring us warm robes for our laps;
Wash the windows, dust the chairs, do the laundry, knead the dough.
Finish in time for the ball…find a gown and you can go.”
In my fairy tale castle one couple waltzing caught my eye.
“So this is love”, he was saying as they passed me by.
He swept her off her feet and new happiness stirred me too;
All I was wishing came true. The prince of my dreams is you.
“And they lived happily ever after.”

Caryl Ramsdale Poem
Prophetic powers draw dark
eyes toward opportunity
hidden in ball of fire
predicting future.
Sibyl speaks. Boldly foretells
her lift over the threshold
and willfully conjures a
hunk of burning love.
Graceful, posing hands present
a strikingly handsome face
uplifted—scrutinizing
the love of his life.

Caryl Ramsdale Poem
I stand in awe; when newborns are
Settled into warm cozy beds
~ Living and breathing in our world ~
Time to time turned, shaping soft heads.
I feel; full to overflowing
With love that bursts forth in my soul
~ For the innocence of new life ~
One great gift God chose to extol.
I wonder; if this small person
Will someday be all they can be
~ Or maybe stray from goodness that ~
Anchors honor and decency.
I understand; motivation
And the freedom to make a choice
~ Hinges on strength of character ~
And how high one lifts one’s small voice.
I believe; The Lord God knew all
Before you filled your lungs with air
~ Like ev’ry amazing new life ~
The Almighty chooses to share.
