Embracing the gift of time.

Image
Hello! Here for you today is a poem influenced by considering the gift of time, of all the moments we have to embrace and all that life brings us. Gift The gift of a moment glistens in the sun; time offering itself again and again for what? Expressions of love transform the atmosphere and elevate the future. The tide comes in then goes out to the rhythm of eternity and I stand linked to everything, my feet in the sand; this moment contains everything and nothing until I choose to accept the gift before me.  The gift I have received lately is the gift of time to write. What have you been gifted?

Celebration of Self

Image
Hello! Thanks for stopping by! I want to share a poem inspired by all the books I have read throughout the years on the subject of self awareness and personal growth. I love nonfiction!! How I finish the sentence "I am..." has changed so much throughout the years. How do you complete the sentence? I AM I am love seeking expression creativity unbound I am unity within diversity the common thread woven through life; many moments link this one to eternity existing within my heart for the joyous realization of all that I am.

Poetry of Change

Image
Good day! Today I have a poem inspired by the change that life brings, by nature and emotions. Enjoy! Restless Like the falling leaves my emotions twirl tossed about by the wind of changing thought; letting go/releasing holding on to the promise of the spring and summer that exist within me despite being bare for the moment.

Change is in the Air: Poetry and Fall, Maple Leaf Quilt and All

Image
    Hi! I am thinking about Autumn right now. I know it is a little early, but the change of seasons seems to be in the air. I like the cooler nights and the colors. Pretty soon we will be seeing maple leaves turn, my favorite!      What is it about seasons that draw us to embrace them or dread them? Spring has color and newness, summer has sun and water, and Fall (what I call Autumn) is ablaze with color and harvest, cooler temps and the beginning of holidays. Winter brings cold, Christmas, hot chocolate. I had to stretch on that last one, as Winter is not my favorite.             Do you have a favorite season? What is it about it that you anticipate? Feel inspired by?      I hope to enjoy this change of seasons. I'd like to take lots of photos and spend time reading and writing outside. I might even get those three pumpkins on the porch like I say I will every year ...

Birthing Into Life; A Poem and Dedication

Image
Today I have a poem about life changes, creating yourself anew. It has been a theme with me for a while now. I dedicate this poem to Wayne Dyer, author and inspirer-of-my-soul. I am saddened by your passing, wish I could have told you how much you influenced my life, yet hold the knowledge that we are one (so you know) and that love is the answer to it all. Birthing I am birthing a vision a dream creating  the reality my soul longs to breathe; with raw passion burning nurturing my desire a hunger thrives and grows. I am busy birthing a new life- my Self, reborn taking constellations creating galaxies. It is no easy task creating a new life my mind is occupied with the task of using the building blocks of intention and purpose; I cannot sleep when inspiration strikes and a grounded sense of being and oneness washes over me. So now you are a witness now to the anticipation growing within me to the new life I am birthing; this new ...

Words that Inspire

Words Words that inspire come easy at first bubble over like a bottle of cheap champagne; phrases that mean nothing on the surface suddenly voice themselves and make their presence known - their presence with their sticky truth alter what you think is possible. Exotic. Innocuous words inspire if the time is right their sparks touching the joy-light within; the feel of dreams touching earth is like nothing words can describe even though they try and the soul rejoices as heaviness lifts and lightness descends infusing the atmosphere with inspiration.  This is a poem I wrote after thinking about inspiration, goals and dreams. I have read so many books on those very topics and love many quotes about them as well.  Do you have a favorite quote, saying or book on motivation ,inspiration, dreams? How do you stay inspired?      Thank you for sharing my words today!!

Friendship, Poetry, Inspiration

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by today!      I have been inspired to write a poem about friendship today, thanks to a dear friend. I am very grateful for the friends I have. I am thankful for the support and encouragement that I received from them when I opted to start writing. My life is richer because of my friends. I have a feeling you could say the same. Friends enrich our lives in so many ways, don't they? Through ups and downs, they are there for us. And we are there for them. So, here's  my poem. Inspired by the greatness that is friendship. Friendship Something winds its way among souls a force both fragile and strong It brings joy and deep, shining grace to what seems like million mornings and the peace of mind born of a tender knowing; it is a journey of still movements between hearts and grows ever richer ever deeper with the involvement in the tears and dreams of another; our hearts are ope...
