Wandering on
Through valleys wide
And forests oh so deep
Through wild flower lanes
This Earth can’t contain
And mountains oh so steep

Wandering again
Carefree and light
Like a child in a nursery rhyme
Away from the city
That shows you no pity
From sweltering heat and grime

Wandering still
My visions set free
There are no worries to blind me
I’ll take to the clouds
Thundering loud
And never look back behind me

Wandering ever
Til my heart is fulfilled
Breathing in nature’s pure scent
It is here I surrender
To take in the splendor
To live out my dreams quite content

I decided to take a small break from writing, yet I find myself doing just that. This time I had my camera so I could document all that I have been missing.

I spent yesterday enjoying life….

snappys

I watched the snap dragons open sleepy eyes, a blast of color filling my garden.

I listened as a cardinal sang its sweet song upon my fence.

sunlight

I looked up and basked in the glow that warms the land.

I cooled down with the cold, creamy goodness of frozen confection

my feet

I relaxed, breathing in the air surrounding me, taking it all in, not wanting to let go

I watched as the Sun tucked herself in for the night

I watched as the Sun tucked herself in for the night

I sat before the glowing embers of fire, contained within, leaping out

I marveled at the brilliant orb, a Supermoon, filling the sky with light

I marveled at the brilliant orb, a Supermoon, filling the night sky

And I contently laid my head upon my pillow, in hopes of awakening to greet a new day

I took time out from my busy day to simply enjoy and to thank God for all the beauty that quietly surrounds me, but I fail to admire because I am too busy doing everything else.signature

There is no answer to
Her more than somber mood
Shadowed by sadness
Overwhelming , unexplained

Missing pieces
Scattered about
Just out of reach
Baring a soul
Taunting its very being

And she struggles
With effort to break this gloom
Never giving up, fighting
This mournful feeling
She cannot let capture her resolve

An Open Window

The journey of a soul
Is but a glint
Of bursting sunlight
Glimmering, through
An open window

Shrouded by
Darkness, dank and gloomy
Lurking in the shadows
Raising questions
Casting doubt
Second guessing

The flutter of the wind
Through the naked pane
Draws it back, wondering if
Perhaps a simple gust
Of a summers breeze
Will brush it all away

Allowing for the reflection
Of the innermost
Transcendent thoughts
A juncture in life
The now
and the destined…

Kissing The Beach

For Gail…

Stretched out
Over a turquoise sea
That meets bright blue skies
Kissing the beach

In a rendezvous with
White sand
As the surf comes in
Rolling by and back again

Teasing, as I lean down
Fingertips grazing
The captivating tide
