When raindrops fall,
On petals soft,
The flowers pout,
As they do, oft

From the weight
Of fallen tears
Until the sorrow
Disappears

Then nourishes,
All who grieve,
A silent means
To give reprieve

Tis then the sun,
Again, does shine,
To dry the tears,
Of those, who pine

 

Hard to believe #NaPoWriMo is over, although truth be told, it felt like an eternity.  Congrats to all who participated this year.  Here’s to 2021!! ❤

The Butterfly and the Bird – #poetry – #NaPoWriMo

Said the butterfly to the bird

“I’ve heard an amazing thing

Warmer weather is coming!”

Said the bird, “Yes, it’s spring!”

“When flowers bloom in color,

And skies turn azure blue;

It’s then you’ll hear me singing

And see more butterflies, too!”

As both admired the flowers

Happily, they shared their day

Anticipating the sunshine

That’d soon, be heading their way

 

Author’s Note:  The weather has been so dreary and cold, I needed to write something happy.  I cannot wait for warmth!  Come on spring!! ❤

A Turn of Events – #poetry – #NaPoWriMo

Loved ones locked
In eternal sleep
While mourning doves coo,
And willows weep

Rains fall heavily
From a burdened sky
Clouds gather closely,
As together they cry

O’er the land,
Lain wasted, below
A turn of events,
Defeated by foe

Invisible, it conquered,
Prayed on the meek
Laughed in the face
Of the old and the weak

Ravished their bodies,
Then tossed them aside
Not a care in the world,
For the ones who had died

Piled in the cold,
In a box made of steel
No one to mourn them,
Nor help them to heal

Buried underneath
A sky, ever gray
It’s as if it knew,
It would all end this way…

As sunbeams caress

Awakening majesty

With auras of hope

Sunna softens midnight skies

Kissing the day good morning

 

Authors Note: Sunna is the Norse Goddess of the Sun, also known as Sól, though some hold that Sól is the mother and Sunna Her daughter. (www.thaliatook.com)
