Buoyant Expectancy

Life......
                                                                          
                 Water......

                              Air.......

                                       Colours.........

                                                       Light.......

                                                                  Hope........

                                                                            
                                                                        What are these?

BUOYANT EXPECTANCY!

This Babe in the womb, floating in water,
In a world filled with Silence ....
Sweet, undoubting, gentle Silence, 
She’s connected to the breath of her mother.

She waits with peace and serenity
Trying movement, blowing bubbles
Blessed with angels, gentle heartbeats,
Happy and sanguine, 
Full of confidence and hope.....What are these?
Buoyant Expectancy! 

Out in the world now, self-assured,  strong, undoubting,
Many years have gone by, and there is no more floating.
Trust and Conviction, Enlightenment and Passion,
She has finally discovered them
And she breathes them, Yes! She holds them!

One day in the garden, while watering and feeling,
She wanted to “rain” on the tops of the trees.
With fun-filled, happy laughter,
She looked up at the magic shower
And discovered her own Rainbow in the Sun and the Leaves!!

Life, Water, Air, Colours, Light, Hope.....All of these
Give joy and enchantment, new beginnings and enhancement,
Confidence, watchfulness, gentle inner silence,
Safety, resilience, soaring love, no resistance.....
          Trusting,  
                  Buoyant Expectancy.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
