Morning awakens
The gentle slumber of the sea
Casting a brilliance of crimson
Against mountains, still restless
From the ebony night

A gentle rippling
Of the ocean tide
Sends shimmering splendor
Across pale blue, basking
In the sun’s radiant light

Reflections linger
In the water’s hue
A quiet caress, waking day
Whilst Heaven’s jewel, softly
Colors black with a glorious sight

Listen, do your hear them
The gentle sounds of spirits
Whispering softly
Among themselves
Listen! Do you hear it?

Locked forever in the ruins
Of yesterday’s gone by
Ethereal creatures
On the wisp of a wind
Their voices quietly sigh

Lost forever in this place
Yet, solace do they find
Dancing about
In mysterious ways
Body, soul and mind

Yes, their voices fill the stillness
The gentle sounds of spirits
Whispering softly
Among themselves
Just listen, you will hear it

Allergic to “E” Challenge ~ Dirty Bird

I was nominated by Erika Kind for the  – Allergic to “E” Challenge.  Be sure to visit & follow her blog!!  Her Daily Kind Quotes” are wonderful!

I got a little goofy and here’s my “challenge”.

Dirty Bird
I saw a bird flying high
Wings waving, soaring by
Landing on a mound of dust
Blowing from a windy gust
Trying hard to find a spot
A bill of dirt is what it got

 

You don’t realize how hard it is to string together words without the letter E, until you actually have to do it!!  There are rules, such as nominating others, but I can see that most of you have already taken a stab and have come up with some quite entertaining ditties!!  So I’m skipping the nominations.  Feel free to take the challenge.  See how creative you can be 🙂

Have fun if you decide to give it whirl!!!

Ashes Breathe the Fire of Life
Rising from Smoldering Flames
Frenzied and Fevered
She Ignites a Spark
Captivating her Claim

Unearthly Desires Swirl from within
Kindling a Blaze, Incandescent
Charred and Blackened
She Leaves a Mark
Her Fiery Heart, Incessant

The Woodlands Sing

I sat upon the mountain top
Gazing down on the earth below
Basking in all the wonders of life
With the sun in the sky, aglow

A gentle breeze blew slowly past
Like the flutter of a butterfly’s wings
Turning my face toward its gentle caress
I could hear the woodlands sing

Their song, the sound of angel harps
Each chord, a gossamer string
Melodies fly on the wisp of a cloud
With the beauty of all God’s things
