A Friend

 A one- of- a- kind friend until the end
together soaring beyond lofty clouds
sharing adventures with a poetic pen
a one- of- a- kind friend until the end
fantasy and reality seemed to blend
enjoying moments that time allowed
a one- of- a- kind friend until the end
together soaring beyond lofty clouds

Open Book

We start life as an open book
writing our story page by page
trying to find the perfect hook
meeting characters upon life’s stage

Seasons and scenery changes
plots twist in some chapters
time and places rearrange
hopefully, dreams won’t shatter

The reader may need a closer look
read between the finely written lines
not all writers are an open book
perhaps a story-line is sublime 

Inked pages all is not as it seems
penned are my daily wanderings
in my book brimming with dreams
hidden are my deepest ponderings


For today's prompt, take the phrase "Open (blank)," replace the blank with a new word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem.

To Whom it May Concern;

How do I express all that I feel in mere words
It’s been a long time since I last saw you
can magic be captured in nouns and verbs
tell me have any of your dreams come true

Today, spring has brought rain showers
it seems to fit the mood as I think of you
soon bees will drink the nectar of flowers
sadly today I am feeling the soulful blues

Maybe, one day you could drop me a line
poetry woven with pieces of me and you
often in life heartfelt plans don’t align
sometimes new dreams come into view

Thank you for your time

Seeds of a Dream

The gardener of dreams
plant seeds in hearts
trusting they will take root
and grow beyond any
aspirations 

The gardener of dreams
nurtures those who have lost
their way, weeding out
doubts, offering a drink
of hope

The gardener of dreams
plant seeds in the dark
whispering in ears
"All you need do is believe"

Spring Awakens

https://www.wikiart.org/en/odilon-redon/spring-1883

 spring awakening
communing with budding trees
blossoming new dreams
scent of floral fills the air
mysteries of life unfurl

~

beneath willow boughs
embracing the limbs of spring
growing with nature
seeing possibilities
singing songs of renewal

Silence Feather Light


  quiet

  silence

feather light

   gift from the sky

    frayed yet beautiful 

 tranquility in my soul

pauses in heart beats

  embracing airy calmness

where the blue-bird once sang  

a wild-winged spirit soaring

hushed are my tears

uplifting stillness 

radiating love

welcoming

renewal

 peace

and
