Here we are, my dear friends

My time away has passed

I’m back from my vacation

It was over much too fast

I spent much needed time

Taking in the beauty of the lake

Along with the mountains and nature

I really needed the break!

Though now that I’m back home

I really can’t complain

I have to say, I missed you all

So I’m off to write again!

Like the clouds with the winds

And the sands with the tides

Adrift in the ebb and flow of life

graphics-946270_960_720For someone very dear to my heart, and to all the women (and men) who are victims of domestic violence….you’re stronger than you think  ❤


Before the light of day turns blue
And darkness finds my sorrow
Memories flood in vibrant hue
Will I awake again, tomorrow?

Unable to dream of happier times
When life was oh so kind
Remembering all that I once was
How could I be so blind?

To think this would be forever
That nothing could break the ties
Instead it leaves an open wound
Filled with empty, deceptive lies

That drown my heart in crimson red
As my body bleeds from you
Dreams turned into nightmares
It was all that I could do

To keep from losing who I am
To myself, I must be true
And find the strength to walk away
Before the light of day turns blue

lemonade skies
Far beyond, I look up to see

In the sky above, such tranquility

A sight I surely must take in

Before the fall of night begins

Finding peace, while the day slips by

I drink in sweetly, my lemonade sky

 

After posting this photo on my Instagram & Facebook, my dear friend Beth “Birdie” Cardinale commented “Lemonade Skies”.  This is for you, Beth!  Thank you for the inspiration!  ❤

As the pale light of day

Diminishes in the skies

When ebony clouds come to play

And a peacefulness takes complete control

“The silence of the night awakens my soul”
