Darkness invade reality, light and color fade. Our world completely tipped upside down. Deep in the gloom, feeling totally betrayed. Words from a friend can remove our frown. Brightening our day with kindness and a smile. Without even knowing, they change grey to blue. Making life worth living, able to go another mile. Darkness fades, again the suns rays shine through. Colour invades and reality returns to entice. Love of...

Now and then I slip into reverie. Alone in my thoughts and schemes. Contemplating pleasant fantasies. Journeying far away, lost in dreams. Places in reality I have not visited. Imaginary destinations full of magic. Mentality exaggeratedly animated. Blissful, idyllic spaces, never tragic. Everyone in harmony, yes my utopia. Garden of Eden, nary a forbidden fruit. Relaxed, a colourful love cornucopia. Respect, acceptance, n...

Never does it cease to amaze Walking through nature's maze What is missed as I pass Hidden amongst the grass Dew drops glistening in the sun Webs of silk that spiders spun Subtle shades of color in the trees Warmth carried upon a soft breeze Roaring creek a song does sing Sounds taken for granted ring Birds and insects greet a new day Silhouetted as they float and play Against the rising sun A tale needing spun Leaves flu...

I saw a little Junco, pecking at his reflection today. Wondering, what's the reason for his little display? What was he seeing in the reflection of the window? Was he angry at the image, or just a bit of a weirdo? Did he not recognize the reflection was of himself? Maybe like me, not wanting to admit age to myself. Could it be that the insistent pecking was his way? Him showing the reflection a compassionate array. Surely...

When life comes and bites us in the ass.Shattering our psyche like window glass. Feeling alone, we continue trudging along.Emotions broken down, no longer strong. Weight of the world carried on our back.Frown on our face, hard to stay on track. Brightness gone, color faded, life so dark.Contemplated thoughts become very stark. The world around us carrying on, despite us.We're set to throw in the towel without a fuss. Some...

When I awake tomorrow I have a wish to hear Our world is a better place Nothing for us to fear No wars no dissention Only happiness lives No contempt for others Love everybody gives Peace and harmony Abounds the world around Cries of pain are stilled Joyful laughter resound When I awake tomorrow I have a wish to hear You are not dreaming Children can again cheer Today is a new beginning Humanity has been reborn Brothers a...

Transient friends pass through our life.Like notes upon the wind, from a fife. Brightening our spirit like the dawn.Here for awhile, then they are gone. Time passes and again they return. Into our hearts warmth they churn. Greeting us with their gorgeous smile.Making us feel we can walk another mile. Bringing with them memories of yesterday.Good times in our minds they help display. Visiting together like time has stood s...

It amazes me that we all seem to be looking for the same things in our lives.To be accepted by others for who and what we are. Yet I read some of the work and the comments here. Things that rings loud as I read, disturb me sometimes. Being a live and let live person, who is far from perfect myself,I have to ask, what makes another criticize or condemn someone else, for petty things or choices they make? Choices belong to...

Looking into the morning skiesNot a cloud to grace my eyes Across the blue only a contrailHanging in the sky like a veil Tranquil air delivering a chillBird calls splintering the still Darkness breaking into lightClear blue heavens a delight Around the edges upon the hillGolden shadows begin to mill Sun soon will rise high and heat Frosty ground it will surly defeat Another beautiful clear spring dayOutside today is the p...

Easter morning crisp and coolDoes the Easter Bunny drool Hiding chocolate eggs for kids to find What really goes through his mind Does he ever get to watch them scurryBaskets swinging in such a big hurry Looking behind the trees and bushesSmiles upon little face as they pushes Wanting to find treasure before the otherShouts heard look under there from mother Fun times are had by all Trying to find them all Parents too as...

Thinking of teachings that were presented to me in my youth, I have often wondered if Adam and Eve really did exist and if they did eat from the tree of knowledge? Were they father and mother of all mankind? Knowledge, it is said, is power, why would anyone not want to gain knowledge? Really has anything changed in our society? Adam and Eve were forbidden to partake of the fruit from the tree of knowledge, thus they were...

Jumpin' out of the shower,lookin' in the mirror I seeswhiskers not dark brown, wild hairs grow'n ears, brows n' nose.Skin not so tight neither, face withered up like a punkin that's seen to much sun and cold.Chest's not up where it ott to be, come to think, neither is his belly.Abs are not like a wash board,what the hell happened to his ass? Needin' spendr's fer holdn up his jeans.Hey! there ain't nobody here but me. Then...

Live each moment completely, one second, one step at a time, place one foot in front of the other. Never take time away to look back, only forward to the next moment. Right now, there is only today, no tomorrow, no yesterday, just this instant. Take full advantage, live life, live it large and absolute. This moment won't last long, and once gone never will it be back. Embrace each second given you, enjoy, choose the most...

Morning still broken by a dove's call.Ca coo coo ca coo coo her song to all. What a lovely sound to hear piercing the crisp morning air. Winter morn brought to light, sort of.Completely warmed by this call of love. I can't locate her in the branches of a tree.A video starts running, in my mind I see. Her ca coo coo ca coo cooing from above.Visions of a beautiful tawny colored dove. Sitting upon her nest, partly hidden on...
