(2014)
After hearing a favorite song and remembering a difficult time, a poem came out
Oh hummingbird Where are you now? Have you taken My courage with you? Oh hummingbird
Not sure where we are headed, Could be a long ride, Keep your heart steady, Open wide your eyes. There is something to learn
The chimes outside the pottery studio ring like a temple bell, calling the faithful to honor,
The lines in my hand, Were read once, By a gypsy, who Predicated a long life... But with many interruptions.
What is the happiest moment of the… When I make someone laugh When I am of use for the good When I show kindness When I hold a hand
Holiday cheer and laughter, Multicolored lights blink faster, Music of love and good will, Grace the air like snowflakes. Tis the season to be compassionate…
I lay still While my loved one, Sleeps. His warm hand In my hand,
Looking at my journal’s Blank page While geese fly by and honk A greeting. The red cardinals
Itchy eyes scaly feet achy joints and bad teeth hair so fine
The hummingbirds are buzzing As well as the bees. The Orioles land gingerly On top of the feeder. Cautiously they move down
The wind went through me, it carried the yellow, orange and red leaves lightly on the air. Another change is coming,
Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,
I remember your smile, your laugh,… you gave so freely. It’s hard that you are gone. I sigh and walk along the bay.
The red cardinal high in a tree, caught my attention with his melodious chirp on my daily walk.
Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song
