Month: July 2013

I sit down by the lake

its waters bath my soul

joining the morning sun

meant just for me 

I am old

I walk this sacred ground

finding a labyrinth beneath my feet

a journey of hope

and new beginnings

I am lonely

I wait for you 

upon this path

walking the clouds one by one

through my blue sky day

I know this place

I know this love

and in return trust

I will find my way

all for this one simple day ~

far away

you are far away

far away

I, a quay in waiting for a port’s call

I, an ocean shell abandoned by a hermit crab

I, a gust of sky winds blowing through pine trees then suddenly gone

hearing eternal whispers

of ocean waves gone by 

gone by

I walk on Lake Ann’s shores

indigo skies 

on a clear starry night

gives way to

a gentle dawn

held in a whisper blue

I sit with a silken sunrise

trying out my new solstice dawn

light embers 

spread overhead

creating our lake’s sky dome

ever changing 

cerulean blue

and raspberry plum

a true mixed palate

flowing

like a beautiful new scarf

placed over my head 

quietly folding

into the curves 

of my day

morning light filters through

bent woodland boughs 

sky winds meet me on the rise

shadows emerge

awakening

I rise to my day

refreshed 

in silent prayer

while the world sleeps

yet never still

feather stone

lay in a flint rock garden

an undiscovered find

picked up and placed

just like so many others that day

miniature forest lands abound

an old Irish story to spin

a wee song to sing

dancing music and laughter

there where the moss fern grows

only from the northlands

welcomed guests delight in song

a lovely song of joy

a melody in rhyme and time

sung just for you

hush my dear

and you too will hear

the hills calling for you

July 4th

tiny fireworks

twinkle in my eyes

brilliant colors explode

over these Ozark hills

once battlefields 

a thousand fallen soldiers

fighting for freedom

sudden flashes

night hues turn into flowers

reaching new fields

creating a painting

of art & sky
