I begin a simple day
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 ~
This convergence of nature and love I see throughout your work, Joanie. You show us the real and spiritual world you live in there by that beautiful lake.
A pleasure, Joanie…I do enjoy your poetry 🙂 xo
I really like this, there is a calm, meditative feeling to this, like a zen zazen, a walking meditation. I will bookmark your site to revisit.

a poem by itself and my fav part….we are all on a journey…and the ground we walk is def sacred…and the walking the clouds….i will take that walk…smiles.
love how you start the day with the lake water bathing the soul…soaking up the quietness and peaceful spirit of the moment and also trusting in the parts where struggle and loneliness comes in…walking the clouds one by one…i like
