I
watch, as
fire falls
from up above,
in the pitch of night.
Brightening dark heavens,
painting the sky; ambience
sets the mood for lovers below.
Nestled, beneath the stars, they embrace
as the heat continues to spark within

A
Crystal
Flurries down
Rushing to meet
A man made of white.
Top hat upon his head
Eyes of coal, a carrot nose,
Mittened hands, endless snowball fights
Days of youth, returning within us.
The bustle of the holiday season.
The coming together of family,
Dearest to our hearts, celebrating
A thankfulness, many blessings
Each one, a mere fragment, of
Years gone by, call to mind
All who have gathered
Bringing with them
Tidings of
Great joy,
Love
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! I am truly blessed to know all of you! ❤

Child
Who is
Reflected
On the water
Bares her soul aloud
In the silence of night
As barren trees listen, watch
Her attention lies far away
Scattered thoughts unleash a roaring din
She wonders if the birds can hear them, too

Drawing new life, from the universe
I remove the madness, end the curse
Shine, in my own spiritual light
Earth below me, a glorious sight
Sends up fire, to brighten the dark
In my soul, ever creating, a spark
A flare in the sky, exploding with power
This is my one, though not, final hour
To make good, for all I have sinned
My life, total chaos, the perfect whirlwind
Now calms, with the stars, sparkling bright
Transcending my thoughts, deep into night
Awakened refreshed, the burden, now lifted
My reminder that God, this life, He has gifted
To me, and only me, to discover my worth
Before my life ends, tis my living rebirth
