Waves of Melancholy

Photo credit - Truedessa's Collection

Greeted by grey waves, there is a sense of wonderment in an ominous sky. Heavy clouds hover chasing the blues away.  Standing on  mossy rocks listening to the ocean's riffs.  Thunderous roar water crashing, my heart beats, thumpadumpa, deep and gutsy. Breaking the silence of a melancholy mood.  The gulls soar intuitively into unknown realms. Heaven heaves a sigh,  rain falls washing the debris of the day away.

Winter Lingers

snowfall

blanketing earth

spring gardens, sleeping deep

awaiting the songs of new life

rebirth

deer medicine

pathway to nourishment

mourning doves cooing on bare limbs

hibernating

slumbering faraway

thrashing in the throes of a dream

She Built a Nest, To Give Her a Place of Rest

artwork by Catrin Welz-Stein

She built a nest within her head

in hopes to hatch new dreams

creating a kingdom, a fortress

keeping her safe, until her knight

finds  his way to her....

She built a nest within her head

in the palm of her hand a songbird

under dazzling starlight, songs

echo through whispering trees

sonnets of love filling misty air

She built a nest within her head

dancing under golden moonlight

on feather light feet, embracing

distant melodies, poetic verses

spilling from her heart

She built a nest within her head

dreaming of romantic courtship

in a garden of roses, a troubadour

gently strums a seductive tapestry

of sound...

She built a nest within her head

woven with love twig by twig

held together with earthly soil

an intricate design to weather

the storms of her mind...

She built a nest within her head

in hopes to hatch new dreams

creating a kingdom, a fortress

a place for her to rest
a place for her to believe

Murmuring Skies

sunrise - wikimedia

In an early morning dew

tired,  she awoke feeling blue

in silence, she murmured, "why"

in an airbrushed sky, a gentle reply

take in the view, open your eyes

over the horizon, your dragon flies

in brilliant hues, her heart sighed

"thank-you",  she replied

Awash in Dreams

Lost Boat - Pinterest

opening the canvas of her mind
leaving old memories behind
riding tides of love, tis her choice
listening for the tones of his voice

dreams sail beyond the horizon
whispering into the vast silence
heart awash, floating in new hope
seeing beyond the human scope

lulled by the gulls, oceanic tune
singing under a clementine moon
she reaches for a pearly dream
awakening in heavens gleam

Feeling Insecure, How About You!

I'm a bit insecure, yes it's true

I try to deny it , I try to hide it

but,  dreams I still have a few

seeking a place for words to fit

sometimes, I write a song

hoping you will catch the beat

hoping you  will sing along

before the moments obsolete

perhaps, we're all insecure

pitching our stories every day

hoping  to feel more secure

keeping strong, paves the way

I'm a bit insecure, how about you

do you try to deny it, try to hide it

but,  dreams we all have a few

seeking a place for words to fit

sometimes, I write poetry

my words forming verses

branching out, a giving tree

reaching beyond the surface

perhaps, we're all insecure

pitching our stories every day

hoping to feel more secure

keeping strong, having our say

I'm a bit insecure, yes it's true

I try to deny it, I try to hide it

but,  dreams I still have a few

seeking a place for words to fit
