I’ll Be Resting in My Garden

I’ll be resting in my garden with my eyes only half closed

dreaming, aware of the earth’s spin

and of poems floating

through the clouds.

I’ve decided to take a summer break, which for me does not include hiding on Instagram and Twitter!

I will still be here, only less often. In addition to trips to the beach and the mountains I will be on photographic journeys.

Did you know that was my other hobby?

I’m also making time for something I’ve really wanted to do……and that is reading, as in reading books!

Reading outside is even more amazing. Now where did I put my sunglasses?

The Royalty of Purple

In the royalty of purple, in her presence really

old wounds are silenced

while memories

of scars fade away.

Healing through color

and light.

The Strength of Spirit

Some men know how to rebuke the thunder, pulling down the noise, even silencing the destruction of kings and sovereigns.

And yet they will hold you when you cry, write a poem when you’re blue, simply leaving a line or two. And some men too, know the power of flowers.

It is the strength of spirit, in a sensitive guy……

I Was Lifted Today

I was lifted today by the opening of the tulips to the sun,

and later the rain,

the beauty

in their vulnerability.

It’s Always Good to Fall in Love

In March it’s ok to let your hair get blown all over the place,

tossed by the wind

and to relish a light spring rain,

and then smile as the sun begins to appear,

gently caressing your cheek,

and it’s always good to fall in love

in March, walking together

as the tulips begin their journey of color.

Yes in March, it’s ok,

in fact it’s very good indeed.

Seeds to the Soil

As seeds are to the soil, so are flowers to the heart,

and love grows creating

the person

we were always meant to be.

Life’s beginnings.

Pink, Purple and Sometimes Blue

Lush green, with colors bursting in the sun

pink, purple

and sometimes blue,

all declaring My love

for you.
