Dream Better

I want to focus on better dreams
when I lay my head upon my pillow
in the storms of night, my thoughts billow

I want to focus on better dreams
take the helm and sail on a tranquil sea
free my mind from all accumulated debris

I want to focus on better dreams
navigate the stars in search of light
praying for peace in the dark of night

Writer's Digest 2024 April Pad Challenge Day 10 

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

My Heart Shaped Box

My box is heart shaped
filled with words, love,
journey, dream and explore
it’s bursting with pieces of
life's stories, music and art
sometimes it is red or blue
depending on the mood
or if I am thinking of you

If you look inside my box
you will find love letters and poetry
never written or shared
if you look deeper, you might
find the secret treasures of
a dreamer…visions of the past,
present and possibly a glimpse
of the future

In my box, you will find love, loss
and everything in between
but, most of all you will find
the heartbeat of me

Your challenge today is to write a poem about your own metaphorical box. It doesn’t necessarily have to be about a relationship, but I would like it to be autobiographical, free verse, and in three stanzas

Elipse of the Heart - Diamond Ring

On the path of totality
a rare occurrence, a total eclipse
gathering of hopefuls to catch a glimpse

On the path of totality
moon passing between earth and sun
a celestial event, no one can stop what has begun

On the path of totality
as, the moon makes its journey, one feels the chill
the birds stop flying and became eerily still

On the path of totality
drumming, I offer a song to the heavenly spheres
watching the few remaining clouds disappear

On the path of totality
vision of a life-time, the sun’s corona shines
a sense of other worldliness –  something divine

The Lucky Ones

Everyone talking about luck
As the lottery reached a billion
Take a chance for two bucks
It’s like wishing on a star among a million

You hope for great fortune
Can you find the four-leaf clover
Saving you from life’s misfortunes
A piece of salvation before it’s over

Wishing you all luck in this journey called life....

Mother Nature

 Where o’ where are flowers of spring
did mother nature make a mistake
for rain, sleet and snow she did bring
blue heron seeking balance by the lake
a goose honking, robins don’t sing
this cold weather is difficult to shake
where o’ where are flowers of spring
