Hiding in Plain Sight

Waking from a fretful sleep

I feel a tremor slight

Have you been watching all this time

Throughout my restless night

How could I not see you

Hiding in plain sight

Or see your shadow roam about

In the echoes of the light

Was it your soft whisper

That brushed by me in flight

A final request from your own lips

To save you from your plight

Sun begins to Light the Day

Whitecaps Waking on the Bay

Ocean’s Tide begins to Churn

Morning’s Beauty begins to Burn

To Fuel the Warming Golden Spark

And Push away the Clouds of Dark

So Comfort may you Find in Flight

The very Peace of Dawn’s First Light

Come my Friend, Stay awhile with me

Together we’ll Gently ride the Waves

On the Poetry of the Sea

 

This poem was inspired by a comment my friend, Erika Kind, left on one of my poems,  I thank her for her wonderful words and continued support on my journey.

Bathed in Sunlight through the Trees

They sing their Songs of Mysteries

Nestled in the Forest Glen

Purity of Life Descends

Upon the Gentle Greens of earth

Drinking in of Life’s Rebirth

Fluttering Softly to the Well

Hidden in this Verdant Dell

Reminiscing

Sitting under that big old tree
Reminiscing about younger days
Thinking back on how we were
How the time has slipped away

Remembering the past
How we held it oh so close
Laughter, love and memories
Was what we cherished most

Sunlight shines upon us now
With a warm and tender glow
Calling us to journey forth
We have so far to go

Yes! Change of plan, change of pace
We’ll relish the time ahead
We shall never forget who we were
But remember who we are, instead

I will not be defined
By the color of my skin
The style of my clothes
Or what shape I am in

My size does not make me
Any different from you
Look in the mirror
It’s all point of view

Society has
No claim over me
Trying to validate
What I refuse to be

But I know better
Than any of they
I know my heart
And with that, I’m okay
