Thanking Y’all

Every day I read so many
Posts of others that do inspire
I wish, and then I wish some more
That I could write as others do

But as each fingerprint and face
Would reflect the owner’s space
Every blog and every poem –
All the writing and words

Reveal a light behind each form
So not always always knowing
Some author’s faces or names
Even the lands they are from

There is alway a light
Shining forth from the page
Casting a glow
Inspiring the world

And I am blessed
And I feel glad
For what we can give
And what we can share

Giving, receiving
Writing together
Standing together
Thanking y’all!

Taking the opportunity to enjoy a few
Of the writings of mine, a talent I have
Been enjoying for only a few months at most
Not even a year, each word, each thought has been
A comfort to heal, and with a touch of humility
I would like to say thank you to all those who have
Supported, for every like, for every follow, for
Every kind word encouraging, helping me to find
My feet, in a world so dark, drowning, not knowing
Where to escape, how to flee, and my writing has been
Helping me to breathe once more

Captured Dream

This morning when I went to sleep
Past midnight once again
I had a dream so real for me
Coming back so vividly

Allow me to type
So I can capture my dream
Before it vaporizes
And is taken from me

I dreamt of my mother
How she entered my room
She was on a bicycle
Geared up and ready to go

(All those weekly photo challenges
Of wheels and bicycles converging –
Gate crashing my dream)
First time my mother on a bicycle I’ve seen

Knock at the door
And friends waiting to go
Spend some time with my mother
And have themselves a day of fun

I was an onlooker at this little game
My mother acting strangely
Not like my mother would at all
She leaned over to give me a hug

I turned myself away, I’m sorry
No hugs coming your way
Give me back my mother, not one acting so strange
Tell me, where is my mother?

Where has she gone?

Happy December!

Glitter and gold
Reflect the season once more
Of joy and delight
Goodwill to man

Happy Holidays!

Slivers of Blue

Converging beams break
The sails held together
Revealing sky blue

Keeping BFF Happy

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Someone Else’s Island.”

My BFF (best friend forever)
Got stranded on an island
I was allowed to send to her
Any old items of five

I know my friend very well
So to keep her happy
I chose for her
Her new puppy Lola

Her two cats I forget their names
Pet bunny Tiger Lily
Rescued Bird PollyAnna
And to keep my best friend company

I sent her me!

Last Words

I am at peace with the world
I am at peace with me
I am at peace

Thank you for my beating heart
Thank you for my life
Thank you

If this my last night shall be
Let me live it
Joyfully

Spare one last night to breathe in
All the pure goodness
Surrounding me

I have lived, I have loved
I have fought
I am

Grant one last wish of mine I plead
That my written words should be
My testimony

And if I should not make it through the night
Know that I am at peace, I am at rest
There are no words left in me

Selah

Sporting Tragedy

In the midst of tears
Tragedy and turmoil, please
Spare a thought for Sean

Condolences to the family of Philip Hughes
And all those involved in this very sad tragedy

Life cut short
In the prime of his
Years, tribute

Triangle of light
Leading one safely to a
New journey’s travel
