Granddaughter…

Her eyes hold the future golden sunrise

Gilded with glorious colors…

Welcoming warmth and wondrous hope,

As her heart holds on to the remembrances of a 

Magical rainbow filled

With vivid hues and whimsical shapes, 

Curving and dipping in a star studded sky.

How do I stay focused while the world is falling apart? I focus on the future. 🙂

The Song of My Heart…

Clear notes playing on

The solitude of silver

Dreams and golden tears.

A Tiny Roar…

My passion struggles to be heard…

With hopeful words becoming twisted, withered dust

Gathering grains of self belief.

Alas, assertion brings angry action

Of those who do not understand.

My voice may seem small however…

Enormous love holds strong emotions

That cannot be stopped

And will not be silenced.

Everyday Beauty…

As I trudge through my everyday moments,

My breathe suddenly gives way

To the color pink…

Wrapping itself around the edges of the rose.

Deepening color and

Reaching to the far interior rounded petals.

Soft, smooth  blossoms fold over… 

With heavy dew, sipped through the sweet morning air.

My heart drinks in the essence of flower perfumed thoughts.

And my spirit sings awareness of simple wonders.

My Pink Mood…

Whimsical wonder

Of the lingering mystic

Makes my mood feel pink.

Ordinary is the color of dreams…

This ordinary grass stem gleams sunny rays out of ominous formations.

Filling the outstretched limbs of shadows with warm colors,

Which clothe the shape of dreams

Dreams…

Fleeting memories

of enchanted dreamers fill

the winsome, star filled sky.

Love Story…

Affection in furry form. Breathtaking love of my life.  

Even now, my heart is fractured as I think of Yuri. 

However, he is still here.  

Influencing and showing his presence with a yearning of meaning.

Magical  music glides over mosaic remembrances and in certain moments

The holy hollowness of my heart beats the passion of  a peaceful spirit, 

Gentleness glistening in the sweet memories of long walks and silent conversations. 

Still here, in my mind, in my heart a steady gaze tells me he is silently with me. 

How can it be that this gentle  dog still grips my heart in grief…

He was the one who guided me through  healing

A  path of heartache that had clenched  and paralyzed me with fear.

He helped in maneuvering the treacherous waters of life, so I began to  believe in myself. 

The tears I shed are big, real tears of  sorrow and loss. 

Yet I am healed through his everlasting devotion of hope.

And life lessons continue to lead me in the love that is waiting for me within the eyes of nature.

This image is part of the https://islandinthenet.com/52-week-smartphone-challenge/ The topic is Love Story. My son shot this with his iPhone 6 witnessing me saying goodbye to Yuri. He was 13 and crippled with arthritis. We were fortunate that we were able to put him down in his beloved backyard. I am convinced that Yuri was and will always be an Angel.

Clarity

The clear sharp lines of reality bring both fear and hope within ourselves,

Yet the simplicity of clean reflections hold the innocence of a single thought.
