Heavens filled with sparkling jewels, to the brim. Moon scarcely visible, newness gracing its rim. Silence invaded with songs piercing the night. Brother Coyote sings and yips with pure delight. Setting the neighbourhood dogs to baying. Does each know, what the other's saying? Owl accompanies, with her distinctive hoots. Creeks calming voice, harmonizing in cahoots. If it weren't so dark, I know my eyes could see. Music n...

Held tightly within winter's chilly grip. From the roof, icicles no longer drip. Catching one's eye, like a crystal chandelier. Beautifully illuminated as sun rays appear. Frosty branches, not even giving a flutter. -20, one would think they should shudder. New snow lays in a fluffy blanket deep. Quiet only fills the air, not even a cheep. Bundled in their roost fluffed into a ball. Sunshine soon to awaken song birds' cal...

Two ravens in the sky, flying wing to wing.Eastward bound, a caw, caw, song they sing. As the pink begins to appear against the blue.A wash of happiness, gracing my face anew. Days dawning brings brilliant expectation.Filling one's heart with warm anticipation. Today being another to live and love.Thankful again, the ground to be above. The wonders of nature, never do get old.Her majesty, always something to behold. Feath...

"Teach your children what we have taught our children - that the Earth is our Mother. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons and daughters of the Earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. This we know. The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood that unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls t...

Frosty dog encircled moon, color in the night. Jewels glitter upon new snow, shimmer bright. Magical memories, times when winter ruled. Childhood enthusiasm, never could be cooled. Wind blown drifts, always meant a day of play. Sliding slopes, launched airborne on my sleigh. Trudging knee deep back uphill, reaching the top. Exhilarating speed, face burning, laughing non-stop. Making snow angels, arms and legs flailing wil...

How do you know pure white,if you have never seen freshly fallen snow? How do you know pure light,if you have never observed sun's glow? How do you know pure darkness,if you have never ventured deep below? How do you know pure color's,if you have never seen a rainbow? How do you know pure happiness,if in your mind, sadness can't bestow? How do you know pure pain,if you have never been within the throe? How do you know pur...

Quite some time ago, a photo in a friend's photo gallery spoke volumes. I felt the following words describe it. I hope they do justice to your photo young lady. You always make me smile. :)Music radiating from the depths.Melodies ascending heaven's steps. Carried gently on trade winds. Harmony paying dividends. Soaring high into heaven above.Angels touched, only with love. Spirits are no longer pained.Soul released, not r...

Broken mirrors cast reflections. Outwardly between their cracks. Rainbows, pure light refractions. Upon the wall, bright color stacks. Perfection created from imperfections. Gleaming splendour, dazzling tracks. Faultless are these dancing projections. Contentment within my mind impacts. Magnificent, escapes one's introspections. When neglecting to examine the facts.

Life at times deals one dastardly fates.Accusations of crime open flood gates. Tried and convicted not given a chance.Some assume you're guilty of this dance. Nauseating twinge sets in stomachs pith.As others continue spreading this myth. Can one do anything to dispel such lies?Judged without merit brings on demise. Would a true friend accuse, not ask?Did you perform this disgusting task? Will anyone ever believe your wor...

A nippy, dreary, autumn morn today.Sky invisible, everything above is grey. Morning mist enshrouding the trees. Colors of fall embracing their leaves. Creating a wonderful storybook scene. Magical portrait - red, brown, gold and green. Chilly dampness kissing my cheeks. An eerie silence, no living soul speaks. Haze falling deeper into the valley below. Blocking out light from sun's glow. Murkiness consumes most on the val...

When souls collide, have you ever asked why? Are their stars aligned, or merely passing by? In some previous life, have they met before? What creates this sensation,is karma balancing a score? Laws of affinity say opposites attract,are souls simply magnets? Are humans universal objects, positive and negative planets? What ever the reasons may be.When a soul touches your heart. Be it for a long time, or like the sting from...

Venturing along the pathways of life, not always conscious of the perils. Navigating through rubble strewn strife, detouring around blazing barrels. Stumbling down alleys full of temptation, my spirit merely a basket in shambles. Chasing an existence of self abomination,only to find another thicket of brambles. Jumping again from the pan into the fire,thinking this time I'll find sunshine. Urged on by my own senseless des...

Staring at a photo of brambles I see.Dusky mist filtering around each tree. Foggy haze, spooky shadows, tangled limbs.Reminds me of fairytales heard, by Grimm. To my mind, The Old Woman in the Wood.Or 7 Dwarfs working for the common good. Princes and Princesses, Witches and Elves. Memories of books on grandma's shelves.Hearing the stories, remembering the images. As we journeyed through castle filled villages. Sitting snu...

When one is given lemons, as a friend recently said, make lemonade. Thank you for the reminder Yas. My problem is, I sometimes forget to add sugar. Must be an old man thing, sheepish grin. I do seem to get distracted more easily, the older I get.When one looks up the meaning of curiosity, we find this definition: An eagerness to know about something or to get information about an interesting and unusual object, person, or...
