Spilling from pages, in mysterious ways

Spirits unfold, in a mystical haze

Open the book, and magic appears

Bound, indeed, to the celestial sphere

Floating on air, they dance as you read

Wafting with words, is all that they need

To bring you life, from the far beyond

Watching you closely, as you respond

To the joys they breathe, and you take it all in

Turning the pages, again and again

Beauty lies nestled, inside a book

Open the pages, and let’s have a look

Let her spill out, onto the ground

Watch as the fauna gather around

Do they know, who lies there sleeping?

Among the trees, tis her safe keeping

For she is the one, the only sprite

Who guards the gardens, day and night

So tired and weary, she rests her head

The ground below her, makes her bed

Trees making sure she is shaded from sight

Though we can imagination, in sheer delight

Fascination awaits us, quick! Turn the page

Into the magical realm, of this sweet forest sage

patient1-1000x772Hello Friends,

You may have noticed (or not :/ ), that I have been remiss in replying to your comments, as well as commenting on your posts.  I do apologize, but it is with good reason.  If you read my poem from today, “Overwhelmed“, you’ll get a feel from where I’m coming from.  I apologize, and am slowly catching up with everyone, a little at a time.  I am also battling some health issues, which I do not like to dwell on, but have been more of a nuisance than not, and as such, I am away from my keyboard more than I’d like to be.  Please be patient with me.  I love reading your posts, it will just take me a bit longer.

A side note ~ if you have a twitter account, please make sure your twitter ID is filled in on the Sharing page (settings -> sharing).  I also use this as a way of telling you I loved the piece I read, especially when I don’t have time to comment!!

Love you all,

Dorinda

My thanks

Hello, Friends,

As most of you know, I have been caring for my mom the past two weeks.  I get the chance to write when my daughter kicks me up to my office 🙂  Lately, the words aren’t there, as exhaustion has all but taken over the day to day.  I am trying to read as many of you as I can, but I’m finding that a bit overwhelming as well.  I so miss all of you and your beautiful words.  It will be weeks until I am able to come back on a regular basis, but I know you’ll all still be here.

Thank you to everyone who commented and personally messaged me about Mom.  Your support through all things simply amazes me and I love you all for it.  And thank you for continuing to read my somewhat sporadic poems.  This really is a great family ❤

Until then,

❤ Dorinda

Page after page, and all through the night

Amongst the clouds and stars, he read

A beacon, his lantern would always stay lit

By the moon, as the words filled his head

Yet the moon never quarreled, about the time

After all, he thought, the child is learning

So patiently, he awaited the morning sun

Till then, he kept the nightlight burning
