Live like a flower of many petals:
~
Reach for the sun,
sway in the wind,
thirst for the rain,
and die to be plucked.
~
Nourish others with your sweetness,
release seeds of Love into the World,
and paint on Nature’s canvas
with the unique colors of your Life.

The Stars

I wonder
as I gaze up at the stars
if somewhere,
way out there,
a star is looking back at me
and wondering the same…
What is interesting to me,
although sometimes sad to see,
is on the clearest of nights
with so many twinkling lights
that out there in the starkness
there is even more darkness
and though they still shine by day
the stars are hidden [...]
words given rhythm
without music
expressing emotion
or hiding it
telling a story
or ending it
casting light
or shadows

…and in the eye of the storm,
total calm.
Peace, like a babe’s blanket,
gently draped upon my soul.
Would I see
the impending, careless havoc
to be cast into my world,
I’d sooner die
than live.
But so overwhelming are the sparse,
tender moments of nothing
that for the chosen moment
I blindly follow
Love into chaos…

Taking a short break from migrating the old stuff from 360 to post something new that was inspired by another talented WordPress Poet, Amber Decker, this morning…Tag surfing is great!
in the coldest moments of dawn
birds chirping
lights come on the neighbors’ houses
a gentle breeze settles
wafting in breakfast scents
quiet awakenings
a still mind
drifted to another time
long [...]
A Few Things

I am no other woman out there
I fly in the face of conventionality
I balk at the word, “normal”
I don’t care who’s in charge
I am polite and respectful–even when provoked
(unless you’re just begging real hard for it)
I am a vivid dreamer and I pay attention
I am intrinsically optimistic with a flair for sarcasm
I wear this heart [...]

For anyone interested: this was inspired by a unique combination of circumstances involving 3 very special friends of mine and me. I will eventually do something weird with this graphic, but for now – use as you are so inspired to. Blessings to all this season!!
