Roses…
Without your kind eyes and warm embrace…
These roses would be meaningless,
For you are the reason beauty exists.

Sunset Lullaby…
Mother Sun singing
Long, golden hued lullabies
For slumbering souls.
Here is a post to celebrate Water Water Everywhere. This is actually just a small puddle, but the reflection was beautiful.
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.

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.

Unconditional Love…
Warm eyes whispering
with unimaginable
love within the soul.
I have posted often about my Poodle Baron. However, my Labrador mix was feeling left out. This is our dog Dale, a lover of tummy scratches and a contemplator of kitty cats. 🙂
Reflection…
I sit between the wise, noble tree
And it’s trembling reflection.
Thoughts piling up inside
Spilling up, spilling over
Pouring into the silent, still stream before us.
The strong, soundless branches of nature hold high an idea.
But the winds of the world blow ripples within the words
And blur the meaning of intentions.

Many times, reflecting on my inner self is as painful as it is forthcoming. However, viewing what is within my heart has been the most healing exercise of deep grief. Well that, and time. And I have had plenty of time. In emerging from the reflection, I often want to express what I am feeling, but the feelings cannot be accurately expressed in words and they often come out distorted and blurred. How do you express these deep seated emotions that are rooted deep within each of us? Poetry, photography, painting or sharing your story. I appreciate what each of you have brought to my life through the sharings of your inner self. Blessing to you!!
