Summer plans and Poetry





Greetings!


     I have been embracing the beginning of summer and am amazed at how fast time is going.
It will be the Fourth of July soon! Who has plans made already? Not me.
     I stepped back from my WIP  earlier but now I am back into it. I am feeling inspired to write poetry again. That feels wonderful!


     Plans for the rest of the summer includes writing, promoting, planning ahead. Maybe visit the pool a few times. I have been walking on a regular schedule, which feels good. I need to get back into my yoga.


     What refreshes you and keeps you motivated? I have had such kind words and actions expressed on my behalf that it makes me burst with gratitude. I appreciate such encouragement and support. Wouldn't the world be so much better if we just helped each other rather than ignored each  other, competed with each other, kept ourselves so busy we can't think straight? But that's another topic!


    Here are some poems that I have written recently. I hope you enjoy!








Watching


Are you watching
waiting
for a vision of me to appear?
How still are you keeping
your restless mind -
prone as it is to wondering?
Wandering thoughts and quickened
heartbeats
pass the time until you sit
in darkness
looking for a sign
any sign
of Me
and I am there
I am here
now
always
Always watching over
You.






















Ocean


The ocean is your playground - your delight,
with offerings of life and mystery to behold;
for me it is a power,
a link to life's wonder,
with secrets kept and answers held.
The beauty and majesty of the boundless blue
overpowers me  - my senses are subdued by the sound of the rushing waves
and the tang of salty air;
I feel so small
I feel the truth of my place in time and space
standing here with my heart facing the ocean
and my feet rooted  softly in the sand.

    Like you, I'll be writing this summer. And waiting for two grand daughters to make their way into this world in July. And traveling. Really enjoyed your poem, "Watching." Nice beat :-)

Solitude and Wisdom: poetry for now and always

Hi! Wecome! I am glad you are here. I hope all is well with you and that we are finding reasons to feel encouraged and blessed today. I am just getting back into the writing space again and it feels very good. I thought my newest poems would be on carving out space, enjoying and intentionally growing from time spent in solitude. Here is the first! I hope this resonates and uplifts. It is always my intention to be positive, encouraging and inspiring. Enjoy!! Solitude moments of darkness when the wind barely breathes silence fills the air around me and we inhale we expand my hope for tomorrow in moments of rest between beating hearts and restless minds love can breathe truth can be known and finally lived if we have the courage to step into the space that solitude gives birth to so light will come, following the dark, and joy will flow like a waterfall gushing forth when we quiet our fears and calm our sadness done best in silence and with openness

Inspired Words : A Poem of Divine Assistance

Image
Hi! Thank you for stopping by today. I have a poem today inspired by quiet meditation. It was during a quiet time of meditation that I felt these words come over me, almost in a rush. I had been contemplating being open to guidance, to the themes of oneness and unity, and was struck by how strongly I felt the realization that my words, my thoughts and feelings, are always heard. I left my quiet time feeling peaceful and also with a measure of gratefulness and awe. Here is the poem below. Hope you enjoy! Inspired Words I sense your presence in stillness and beauty, I hear your voice in a song; love echoes back to me your sentiment, your intent. Standing before me I see outstretched all things lovely and divine; deep within I recognize them as You. I rest in the vision that has a hold of my heart, knowing my life has never been left to chance- my days not set by circumstance. You helped me see that. Reaching for dreams has been our forte, with tenderne

Beginning a new year!

Happy New Year! Things are getting off to a great start.  Welcome  2019! I have been thinking about what I want to bring to this year. An openness to whatever comes, an appreciation for moments of beauty. Peace. Joy. I found a picture that captures that very essence. I hope the poetry below instills a little of it, too. Vision Take your inner vision Nurture and protect your dreams  go where they are are nourished; leave the place where they are not. Bring sunshine to others but give it first to yourself. Moments Tiny moments burst with meaning full of love and circumstance time turns voice and physicality into heartbeat and song Yet I embrace the moment for the beauty it holds Its promises  and melancholy Its joyful sweetness to be savored Thank you for beginning the year  with me. I wish everyone a very happy and peaceful beginning to the new year!
