Embracing the Blues

artist unknown

the blues have a way of hitting you hard

especially when you hear  a weeping harp

they say it's all about rhythmic breathing

i  think it's a bit like making love, engaging

mouth, lips and tongue in musical dialogue

releasing tension with each breath

Nature's Chair for All to Share

Truedessa's Collection

come sit with me on nature's chair
open your mind to beauty outside
autumn trees have a story to share
sharp-shinned hawk, your guide

open your mind to beauty outside
there is a world of wondrous color
sharp-shinned hawk, your guide
open your eyes, see and discover

there is a world of wondrous color
behold, the spirited red dragonfly
open your eyes, see and discover
on iridescent wings, soaring high

behold, the spirited red dragonfly
can you feel  the winds of change
on iridescent wings, soaring high
whispering in a land now strange

can you feel  the winds of change
great ancestors know your feelings
whispering in a land now strange
come to the river for quiet healing

great ancestors know your feelings
rise up beneath emotional waters
come to the river for quiet healing
breakdown your inner borders

rise up beneath  emotional waters
autumn trees have a story to share
breakdown your inner borders
come sit with me on nature's chair

Beneath a Super-Moon

dancing beneath a super-moon
drum beats out a mystical tune
silhouettes sway in rays of light
restless souls in a mystic night

dreaming beneath a super-moon
wrapped in a warm silken cocoon
lucid visions bring forth delight
restless souls in a mystic night

singing beneath a super - moon
rhythmic melodies, blissful swoon
cosmic stars, burning golden bright
restless souls in a mystic night

Heart of Grace

Autumn swans swimming

sunlight now dimming

love rises in depths of night

finding grace in dreams

under soft moonbeams

together we can take flight

floating feather light

sweet songs of delight

entwined in a cosmic glow

darkness drifts away

in the warmth of day

before the winter snow blows

searching for the  bigger story of life

thought I'd find it at 21st Century Fox

driving through the gate in a pink Cadillac

wearing leopard capri's and cheap sunglasses

man enters on cue,  singing out the blues

baby, I have a song for you..

It's Been A While

Dancing in the rain Adrian Borda

it's been a while

since I've seen your smile

your words echo in moments of silence

I can still feel the pain & joy in the rain

I'll talk to you when I can

it's been a while

since we shared our thoughts

I gave you my heart, my soul

I let you into my secret world

It's been a while

since we dared to dream

caught in the magic of words

sleeping in sheets, curled

It's been a while

since I've seen your smile

your words echo in moments of silence

I can still feel the pain & joy in the rain

I'll talk to you when I can...

It's been a while

since,   I've heard your songs

entwined in the beauty of us

in stillness,  our notes swirled

It' s been a while

since,  you drifted away

I'm still here, waiting to fly

in the wings,  curtains furled

It's been a while

since I've seen your smile

your words echo in moments of silence

I can still feel the pain & joy in the rain

I'll talk to you when I can...

It's been a while

since, I sent you a smile

hope in a luminous sky

forgiveness in a misty pearl

Let us dance again and feel the rain!

Truedessa's Spookalicious Reads for October!

Happy Halloween!

Tonight the veil between the two worlds will be very thin, it might be a time to reach out to a departed one or maybe one will come to visit you. Perhaps, it is through a dream that the gateway is opened.

As many of you know I am quite intrigued with the paranormal and sci-fi world. I want to give a couple of authors a shout out for their books that I found fascinating to read this month.

First, Up a novella Lost and Found  by Brandon Meyers & Bryan Pedas - you can  find them here.  A Beer for the Shower. 

This book is a paranormal thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, I didn't want to put it down. It is written in a unique style as the book is in two parts. If you want to read a spooktacular tale on Halloween this one is perfect.  A quick easy read filled with paranormal activity. Just be careful when you turn out the lights, as you never know what might happen!

Second, Is Soulless by Crystal Collier you can find her at her blog   Crystal Collier
This is the second in her trilogy. She has created a unique blend of characters in a supernatural world. She gives the reader a real adventure in this mystifying series. I am looking forward to her third release on November 1st.

 

One More Dream

free images

please, just one more dream
will you bestow a precious rose
let us sing, under moonbeams

silent memories, dying scream
tears of sorrow, has time froze
please, just one more dream

songs drift along the stream
from your lips, a melody flows
let us sing, under moonbeams

healing pools, eyes softly gleam
thorns no longer pierce, love grows
please, just one more dream

heartfelt prose, key words redeem
rays of light, celestial spirits glow
let us sing, under moonbeams

in a slumber, all is not as it seems
i wish not for love to decompose
please, just one more dream
let us sing, under moonbeams
