Quietly Sigh

For Cathy

They come at me
In all directions
Never quite understanding
My emphatic objections

The longing for peace
In the simplest form
As sadly I realize
Will never be the norm

Though try as I might
To gather my thoughts
So many emotions
Have me troubled and fraught

I want to break free
And although I may try
I remember what matters
And quietly sigh

Ego’s Tomb

Countless hours held in silence

Wasted time spent in defiance

Ignoring precious moments left

Mind so filled with thoughts, bereft

Lacking patience for the lonely

Never realizing you are the only

One who’s lost in ego’s tomb

Locked inside your empty room

Where you cannot see the light of day

And your life so quickly slips away

Father and Son

Father and son
One half the age
Of the other
Laugh like six year olds
Hiding secrets
From their mother

Two men
Sharing life
So much more like brothers
A bond everlasting
Through thick and thin
A friendship like no other

 

The two men pictured above are my husband and my son.  At times I wish I could give them a time out but they make me laugh too hard!!  Two amazing men I am very lucky to have in my life.

Let me breathe freely
With the flowers in the field
Inhaling all the splendor
My soul can now be healed

Graced in God’s wonder
Beautiful colors blend
Touched by a gently blowing breeze
My thoughts can now transcend

And carry me to places
Where I never thought I’d go
Beyond the beauty of nature’s ballet
Dancing to and fro

Misty night shivers

As the cold splashes its face

With tiny droplets

Flying across the air

Never falling, only covering

Nourishing

The unborn petals

Awaiting the warmth of day
