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!

digital-art-398342_960_720It’s time for me to take a break from poetry, writing and social media, so I can recharge and reignite the fire within.  I will be spending the weekend with my hubby, just soaking in nature, and the peace and quiet of the Earth.  I’ll try to catch up with your writings and comments upon my return.  I know you understand 🙂 See you all on Monday!  Have a fabulous weekend!!

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!  ❤
