Be A Star

 

Once the queen of the silver screen

she could make you laugh or scream

her  characters written by another

embracing in the arms of a  lover

 

her  expressions could tell a story

life has moments of pain and glory

an  actress,  the theater her life

finding her place under the lights

 

"All the world's a stage"

and all men and women merely players

 

scripting the journey page by page

hoping to  survive a modern age

masks; different in shapes and forms

helping us weather unknown storms

 

each day a new opportunity to live

a time to give and maybe, forgive

hang on  to your dreams in the night

hoping, someday they will take flight

 

"they have their exists

and their entrances"

 

you  are the author of a best- seller

composing adventures, the story teller

it's your life on a stage of opportunities

fill it with extra-ordinary possibilities

 

explore nature and its calming scenes

laugh and dance change your routine

step out of time, to your own beat

walk in fields of honey colored wheat

 

"We know what we are, but know not

what we may be"

quotes by William Shakespeare

Be the star of your life!

peace, light and love always

Dabbling in a Dream

sitting on a mossy riverbank
dabbling her feet in the
inviting water

her mind drifting with
the clouds, indulging
in a daydream

paddling a canoe
through the ripples of time
perhaps, meeting a lover

sunlight dappling through
the pines, warming her heart
she smiles

The Apple of My Eye

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

what do you see, when you look at me

do you see more than a reflection

do you see the  fine lines of time

do you see the depth of my soul

do you see my unfulfilled dreams

do you see me more than skin

do you see, my imperfections

do you see the hidden scars

do you see an expanding heart

do you see me for who I am

an apple half eaten, the fruit

of the spirit in need of healing

from the bruises of life....

 Happy Sunday to All

Thank you for visiting

wishing all peace and healing 

in a world filled with turmoil

When Elephants Play the Blues

 Do you hear the elephants song
once multitudes, stood strong
for lost family, trumpets wail
yesterday's memories prevail

roaming the vast savanna free
munching from baobab trees
but, then man decided to hunt
darkness they had to confront

killed for their precious tusks
lifeless lies their bodily husk
under red, yellow, orange skies
an elephant unnecessarily dies

do you hear the elephants song
it lingers in a land they belong
in small herds they now wander
precious few travel over yonder

written for earthweal 

I missed Sherry's weekly challenge
"When Animals Speak"

It's been a rough week....

wishing you peace....

 

The Edge Of Time

 

 

She awakens in her dreams

to an altered reality...

in this world beyond the stars

he lifts her up on open wings

transcendent love he takes her

higher reaching rolling peaks of

desire

traveling the supernatural world

she spins in a counter-clockwise

rotation...

flying  on an elevated plane of existence

never has she felt so high...

  dawn to dusk

   breath to breath

     heart to heart

        soul to soul

then the unimaginable

morning light; over the horizon

he drifts away, leaving her

alone on a cold winter day

tumbling to earth from the sky

crashing into a field of soft snow

her wings torn, her greatest love

disappeared on the edge of time

whispering  a promise,  I will see
you again, to become the day

we must embrace the night

 

it is said "time is now" but, when

is now?

feeling a bit blue today

time seems to be slipping away...

Reflections

The Sunday Muse

 

 A Reason

If you came into my life for a reason

I thank you for hearing the call

sharing your time and energy

bringing forth healing

I thank you for bringing a song

on the wings of love, so I might

once again hear the melody of life

I thank you for bringing me the gift

of poetry that allowed my voice

to be heard

I thank you for bringing me the wonders

of a story with characters I can believe in

A Season

If you came into my life for a season

I thank you for hearing the call

sharing your gifts in times

of transition

I thank you for bringing me spring

  cherry blossoms in bloom

a reminder of renewal & rebirth

I thank you for bringing me summer

blue skies and abundant light

warm days to revitalize

my soul

I thank you for bringing me autumn

bursting with color and change

preserving all the essentials

needed for the journey ahead

I thank you for bringing me winter

time to sleep and dream in the beauty

of fresh fallen snow, the circle of

life.

A Lifetime

If you came into my life for a lifetime

I thank you for bringing your strength

and unconditional love and support

I thank you for bringing me the gift

of strong roots, so we might grow

as spiritual beings in a vast universe

of unknown beauty. Exploring beyond

the scope of our natural eyes and to

raise our consciousness to the vibration

of love.

I thank you for bringing me the gift

of yourself, standing with me in the

good and bad times, soul to soul

heart to heart

author's note:  I wrote this a couple of years ago but, it seems
appropriate to post again. I have revised it a bit. The last year has
been difficult people have come and gone in my life but, I hold
a special place for all who have touched my life and heart.

Peace, light and love always

Wishing you a new year filled with hope and love

Winter Solstice

Winter solstice a time of darkness

Jupiter and Saturn put on a display

in stillness, I can hear the drum

thump, thump,

    thump, thump

 

we join together in the name of peace

to heal our inner self & community

with the help of the medicine wheel

the sacred hoop

 

moving in a sun-wise direction

we are connected in the circle of life

aligning with the power of light

in unity with the sun and moon

 

calling on the four directions, father sky

mother earth and the spiritual tree

to guide us in our journey towards

change

 

our limbs bare and tired, shadows

of who and what we have become

winter draws near and we slowly

turn inward, a time of restoration

 

are your roots firmly planted in the

rich earth to weather the storms

of life,  do you drink from the well

of understanding

 

the veil of darkness surrounds us

but, we sing praises to the night

and to the light, to appreciate light

you must know darkness and vice

versa, they are connected

 

in winters sojourn, we will make

new tracks in the fresh fallen

snow, and in the spring when the

loneliness melts we will open our

hearts to new possibilities

 

thump, thump

   thump, thump

 

medicine wheel, earthwheel

we are in need of healing and

change if we are to survive

Time & Love - There's Never Enough

Laura Nyro

I was born with music in my soul
lyrical songs and poetry in my heart
dreams sometimes, I can't control
this sea of emotions, tears me apart
passionate journeys often get tough
two things I've learned in this life
time and love, there's never enough
precious are these, hold them tight

oh my love, let me sing you a  song
hopefully, I can right some wrongs
in the game of love, were we pawns

harmony is often difficult to achieve
life's tempo is constantly changing
wandering spirits, needing to believe
penning words, our notes are aging
songs have a beginning and end
romantic ballads, echo through time
singing the blues, music can transcend
somewhere, I dreamt you were mine

oh my love, let me sing you a  song
hopefully, I can right some wrongs
in the game of love, were we pawns

I was born with music in my soul
lyrical songs and poetry in my heart
dreams sometimes, I can't control
a sea of emotions, tears me apart
passionate journeys  often gets tough
two things I've learn in this strange life
time and love, there's never enough
precious are they, hold them tight

oh my love, let me sing you a  song
hopefully, I can right some wrongs
in the game of love, were we pawns

Time and love there's never enough
time and love there's never enough
time and love there's never enough

precious are they, hold them tight.....
