Good morning from the lakeside deck ~
This morning’s blue after fog lifted!
simply blue
cobalt blue feather
I touch one

Haiku 3/5/3
surrounded
the sound of soft air
still silence
Pause
Good morning from the lakeside deck ~
As I sit out on my deck this morning, I realize I need to keep my eyes and ears open to even see what is right in front of me!
We can miss so much in the moments of living. Too easily, we pay attention to our phones, read posts from social media and listen to the news steaming over the TV that we can actually miss our morning!
Time slips away and our morning and is gone before we can even get started. Careful as I go! Focus!
My morning writing ~
a morning sanctuary sits
in front of me
I touch earth and sky
here ~ where life meets the shore
shouting out glory to this day
as grace and beauty tumbles
into my heart
I listen closely and
watch miracuously to see
how can I not
but stop and stand
in pure awe
of this ~
open wide
these shutters and doors
open wide
this earthly hearth
open wide
my kitchen table
as I gather
all I can!
Good morning from the lakeside deck ~
Then It Was Gone
A marching band came by
this morning
in stark white uniforms
~ floating by ~
even steps throughout
left to right
in the middle and centered squared
marching all the way down the cove
I saw their feathered hats
tipped back
in great salutes
to the bright blue skies above
as they passed
right by
in front of the grand
viewing stands
I heard their last
music playing
as they trailed
out of sight and sound
on their way south
to join in
just another
popup parade

Good morning!
Starting my day by Lake Ann ~ blessings for this wonderful Saturday!
I start the day out on my deck which overlooks Lake ANN ~ surrounded by hillsides all about.
Hummingbirds are already up and at it chasing each other through the high trees over to their treehouse feeder.
I touch the earth and sky here ~
My morning writing ~
grey white blue
unmasking the sky
sunshine flows
shaped by lakeside hills
living under a sky dome
I touch threads of blue
morning rise prayers
I’m held in a blue sky cup
my worries let go
Skylight
I live underneath a tree skylight
In a wonderland of woodland trees
Where spring waters flow into beautiful lakes
With ease and peaceful mornings
I touch the sky
Quickened sounds of birds & critters
Fill every crevice down sloping hillsides
Telling of safe maneuvers through rock & tree
With hope and comfort for coming days
I touch the earth
Sky
Step out into the sky …
Lash it around you
And hold it close
Swinging it to and fro
As you drop straight over
The White River bottom bridge …
Carrying the mighty sky with you
Listen to the meadow larks
As you watch
Giant double winged dragonflies
Fly through triple-wired fences
Strap summertime’s heavy sun
Next to you
As the wind carries you
And descends
Through tall grass rushes
Blowing along
Old Red Bird fields
Ride the Bright Blue Sky and
Fly the heavy Tossed Hot Summer winds
Traveling down country roads
Lite on sweet sunflowers & thistle blooms
As you make this
a most
glorious
high
summertime
day
Good morning from the lakeside deck ~
Arkansas Rains today ~ you know, those gentle rains that come out on the edges behind a big storm as it moves through ~
I love the feeling of being outside on my deck with cool tree breezes moving through the cove and birds signing their morning songs.
I sit high up in the tree tops and can hear the rain dripping through the layers of leaves as it falls toward the ground!
What a journey we have if only we “pause” enough to listen and see!
Blessings ~
My Haiku this morning ~
this is for our heart’s prayers.
soft falling
tree canopy rains

Morning Inspirations
My poem ~ inspired by morning inspirations, Rev Pamela, Highlands Onocology
Open my eyes, ears and heart to listen
As I am in waiting for words and wisdom
While I’m searching for healing
With a touch of soft solace for my soul
I pray for abundant grace and mercy
I find you meeting me here today
As you wrap your arms around me
In sweet gentle love
~ by Joanie
Thank you Rev. Pamela for always giving much inspiration and encouragement to everyone that you meet.

Haiku 3/5/3
Neptune sits
Moon gains descending
Venus rise
Haiku 5/7/5
Shadows lurk to hide
Morning skies full of bright light
Move stars and planets
Haiku 3/3/1
I see only
What I seem
Am
