Gratitude: Poem of thankfulness












Grateful Heart is the title of my poem for today.
I have been really focusing on my blessings,
what I have to be thankful for...
which is everything I have in my life! I have so much,
the time to write, health, family, home. This life on this earth!!
All that makes my soul happy I have right now.
I have made a conscious effort to bring more of
what makes me happy into my life, and to
be an appreciator. Even the hard things are in some way
giving me something that I need or can learn from.
So, here's to pausing and reflecting on all that we have!








Grateful Heart

Gratefulness invades my soul
like a waterfall
bursting out into the open
spilling everywhere
spreading joy
everywhere;
the sounds of life, reverberating
harmony in sweet
time-space motion
and I
get to embrace it all!
Things like love and sunsets
hugs and soft
furry kittens
mingle with the happiness
of a certain voice
then I see that I need
nothing else at all.
Gratefulness is awareness of the bounty
life is giving me
and my heart is full -
it is oh so full.

I want to take this time to thank YOU for being here, for sharing in my writing
and supporting my dream! Thank you so much...

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!
