  I.

summer theater

doors of yesterday now locked

nature center stage

II.

orchestra of birds

singing chorus of new life

ghosts fill empty seats

III.

cancelled spring music

free your imagination

sing songs from your heart

author's note:  Seeing this photo made me think

of all the cancelled summer concerts.

The good news,  we still have music in many forms.

Dazzling Blue Dreams Grew

 In the garden of golden acres

a princess dreams of a knight

wake-up, the universe shakes her

warming her heart,  blue fire light

before her a mysterious wizard

if you seek love tender and true

his tongue swirled like a blizzard

there is a task that you must do

this night travel the trail of tears

follow it to the Purple Queens' castle

there you will find winding stairs

a warrior awaits steadfast for battle

riding black beauty the princess flew

racing through the dark forest trees

with hope in her heart, her dream grew

up ahead the castle sits by the sea

jumping off her trustworthy stallion

in the tower window she spied a man

wearing some sort of shiny medallion

trembling heart, she needed a plan

the purple queen had a purple sword

trying to cast and evil spell upon him

she cursed him with her vicious words

the situation was looking rather grim

quietly the princess entered the room

taking the purple queen by surprise

she hit her with a dusty old broom

tumbling to the floor, fright in her eyes

The princess grabbed the purple sword

the purple queen wilted in the night

a noble knight's freedom was restored

together they stood in dazzling blue light

May Flower Moon in Bloom

May Flower moon blooms in the night sky
mourning doves sleep, tulips rest in their beds
dazzling stargazers, puffy clouds dance nearby
nocturnal songs play in a dreamer's head

the heart of a dragon, heaves a heavy sigh
a willow is known for the tears she sheds

spread your wings, let your imagination fly

silvery stars laced with metallic threads

spring a time of change, that you can't deny
a message of rebirth, it wishes to spread
daffodils yellow bright, open your eyes
enjoy the day, no one knows what's ahead

May flower moon blooms in the night sky

soft petals of life,  somewhere a baby cries

Silly Rhymes and Red Wine

 Sometimes, I drink from the vine

being silly, concocting rhymes

enjoying a bit of sweet red wine

making toasts to all the good times

my muse laughs and thinks this is fine

penning funny stories until bedtime

oops, spilled some writing this last line

I See A Distant Future

"A distant future" photography by Raluca Caragea

I see a distant future

somewhere beyond the

looking glass where

we can remove our

human made masks

and breathe in fresh

air with a new sense

of urgency to live each

day in the beauty of now

I see a distant future

a landscape of inner change

in the heart of each  being

stands a solitary shepherd

rooted deep into the earth

a symbol of strength to endure

the hardships of life

I see a distant future

where out stretched limbs

wait to embrace the connectivity

of the human spirit and nature

bridging the gap of uncertainty

we can create positive energy

and experience true magic in the

quest for a higher understanding

I see a distant future

that will lead us to the tree of truth

if only we would open our eyes

and see the clues, follow the

path of white petals and you

will find a place of inner peace

and in this space you will find

love to be the greatest gift

Thank you for reading the

wanderings of my mind

   I see visions of a world

that needs healing and hope

Author's Note:

My challenge to you today

is to look at a tree and let

it speak to you.  What do

you see? How does it make

you feel?  Can you weather the

storms of life? Are you rooted

to the spiritual and earthly 

elements of  life? 

Tell me what type of tree

would you be?

I will forever be a Weeping Willow

peace, health and love to all
