Streaking downward
Never touching ground
Ice crystal clouds
Over desert plains
Across the heavens
Paint the sky

Thunder
15 Tuesday Jul 2014
Clouds come together
In a battle of power
Colliding, one into the other
Clashing, crashing
A calamitous clamor
Like a toddler
Incessantly banging a drum
The rhythm of beautiful noise

Wandering
14 Monday Jul 2014
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

A Side Note
13 Sunday Jul 2014
Posted in My Thoughts, Poetry
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….
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.
I looked up and basked in the glow that warms the land.
I cooled down with the cold, creamy goodness of frozen confection
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 sat before the glowing embers of fire, contained within, leaping out
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.
Melancholy

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
