Cautious, calculating moving forward
In the realm of episodes unknown.
Breathtaking, wondrous love
Coming to the ones to be known.
No more heartache of all those parting
Breaking vows not yet known.
Can’t be sorry only this alone will create
A world full of beauty, this is known.

I saw two hummingbirds
At my feeder today.
They didn’t fight
They hovered and ate
Then, just flew away.

Silence Can Be Peace and Tranquility.
Silence,
Silence,
That is what it is to me.

So much
Could happen
If I knew the reason
Why I came here
What I need to see
Need to be.
See far meadows
See trees blowing
In the breeze.
Are these
These what I need
Need to see?
Breathe in salt air
As it crashes
Sinks back
To emerald depths
In a deep blue sea.
Will I reach these?
These I need to see
Need to hear
Those I do so need?
Then a sigh
I hear, I hear
My life is right
I’m where I need
Right where I need
To be.

Husk falls, dropping to the ground
Seeds of wonder spattered all around.
Dead or dying not necessarily their fate
Taking food, taking strength
From the earth, the ground on which
They were spat, they grow and create.
Slowly, quietly up to mighty trees
Strong and wondrous they unfold
Dropping seeds that too
Like magic wonder, grow.

The morning sun rises
On a day that’s
My brothers Birthday!
Brightly shinning sun
Waving branches on a soft breeze
Delicate opening flower petals
Gently rolling water
Snacking squirrels
And a prancing baby fawn
They all say
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
To my brother on his Birthday.
Have a great day my brother
And may I say too
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Birthday dear sister
Happy Birthday
Once again my dear friend.
May the world be yours to enjoy
Your heart be filled
With treasures of happiness.
Happy Birthday dear sister
Once again.

Security upmost desired
Trying to disappear into a flowing atmosphere
No ties, just don’t understand the how, why and when.
Big hog muscling in, grasp a hold, bring it in
Stand secure with all you are and have been
For no model broken cause before it has never been.

Beat myself up
Curse the way
That got me here.
Need to let up
Need to be happy
That I’m living, existing
With breath to breathe
In this atmosphere.
Forget the bad, the negative
And the sad
Seeing only pleased
And grateful inside of me.
Forgive me and thee
Forgive and live
Live here
On the right side of happy.

The heart is mended, the life is fine
No thought is taken
Of what happened back in time.
Moving forward, risking not
Becoming ice
In a land that’s hot.
Then in the midst of emptiness
She dares, she dreams
she dreams a lot.
