Sunrise awakens

The soothing calm of morning

In the hush of waves

Compassion ~ a true story

She tossed her bag into the back seat, got in and looked around. Something seemed so unfamiliar, yet she couldn’t quite place it. She sat there, somewhat confused by the objects that lay in front of her. She got back out, looked over at me and gasped “This isn’t my car!” I felt for the elderly woman, knowing she was quite befuddled by what had just happened. She removed her bag, closed the doors and went to the next car over. Same routine, only this time it was her car. She waited for the woman, who owned the first car, to exit, merely to tell her what had happened. I saw compassion in the younger woman’s eyes, as she smiled and said it was okay, and not to worry.

I’m telling you this because it was wonderful to see someone show compassion to the elderly. We tend to forget they are human, too. I don’t know who the ladies were, but there was a reason they were to meet today…only God really knows why.

Whispers of oceans

Washing ashore with the tides

Echoing past time

The Lost Feathers ~ #poetry

Imagine the stories, these feathers must hold
Now wasted, laying here, on the ground
I wonder exactly, who lost these grand pieces
I find myself looking around

The ones in the trees, singing merrily
Can’t be them, not one is perturbed
So who does this plumage belong to?
This quandary, it has me disturbed

Then suddenly, I see him there
His blue outshines the rest
A jay, among the other birds
Feathers missing from his breast

Still he struts with the best of them
Unaware he’s missing his tufts
He flies away, back to his home
With himself, he is quite chuffed

If you look on the left of the bird (your right in the pic), you can see where he lost the feathers, after a scuffle with another jay.

It approaches
Lingering shadows
Filling the blackness
Haunting illusions
Filling empty spaces
Surrounding the innermost
Profound secrets
Hiding in the night
