as i lay upon this bed of wildflowers, my spirit assimilates for i too am born of wild in that i am born of stardust unbeknownst of when and where, how and why i became, but it is not for me to understand but just 'to be'...

the ocean blue
i recall when first mine eyes captured the beauty of the ocean blue, my heart fluttered, my breathing became full and deep, i could feel my spirit dancing in rhythm with the tides washing in, knowing that they are moving away and come toward me because the Earth is moving round and round
self love
it is this that must be known, that must be embraced
the mountain that stands before you, although grand and tall,
is not unlike yourself, for both seem to be tethered to the earth
below yet the mountain tip lives amongst the clouds and kisses the sky,
so too with you, although not as tall or maybe as grand in size,
you can reach up and tough the wind that allows the clouds to hover by
and if you look up, you too can kiss the sky...

dreaming under stars
because i cannot sleep with mine eyes closed, i shall dream looking at the stars
so in this moment is what i ‘will’ myself to be, in heart, of mind and spirit, i wish
to be a month from now, a year and beyond, until my feet no longer walk upon the
ground on this Earth
to change for better to those who with me, choose to be

'reflections upon words'
i know in the realm of all that matters in the Universe,
my words matter little, but if just for one instant, for
one moment, they make your heart beat slow when
before consumed in anxiety or flutter with joy when
dormant from loneliness then my words will not have
been for naught
~gather the beauty of the daisies and tulips, the jonquils
and purple passion and daffodils, the song of birds, the
scurrying and play of the little terrestrials, the blue sky
with cottons hovering o’er, the sound of a running stream,
the playful children’s screams, all in your minds eye
then sit at the base of your favorite tree and listen to
the wisdom of the breeze rustling its leaves, breathe
slowly in and be grateful what this earthbound sojourn
has given thee, despite all the sham and drudgery set
yourself free~
remember: you were made from love, and if you
reflect
upon this moment, then you will
flicker and sparkle like the star from
whence you came…

~the wonder of life~
the cardinal and the tree
~my heart doth cherish~
i have been witness to some extraordinary ‘things’ in my life
which may not compare to how the flower sees the sun, the
tree plays in the wind, the, a wolf howling amidst a forest
of
trees as an eagle soars
wistfully, in the sky above
but i have seen the flower raising its petals to the sun, the
tree
letting its leaves rustle in the breeze, have seen a dolphin
jump
the ocean waves, heard the wolf’s joyful howl echoing in its
abode,
i am that eagle soaring above looking down observing at
all of this
yet the most extraordinary and pleasurable experiences that i
have witnessed are; the opening eyes and smile on a newborn,
a welcoming embrace of parents whose child has come home
safely from the ugly of war, holding hands of an elderly
couple
strolling along a river’s bank
and what i cherish most is that you, my love, have touched my
heart with your gentle hand, you have made it flutter with
joy, you have put a smile upon my face where before there
was a frown from the travails of life, for this i am grateful,
so
please never let go of my heart~~~I Love You

eyes of lamenting tears
our open eyes, our sullen spirit and hearts have recently
captured the most heinous destructive hate of human
upon human, the careless and uncaring defoliation,
denuding, of Nature’s verdant dress, the felling of natures’
breathing apparatus, its bonnet of foliage
Earth’s liquid drink has been contaminated and the
species that reside in this realm are drowning in their
own breathing atmosphere, no longer does the osprey,
the Eagle soar o’er trying to find its nutriment below
whilst the wolf no longer howls at the moon and stars,
in praise of life, but rather to lament the withering of it

where love is
~why is it that sadness follows me when
Sunday, April 2, 2023
lifewhispers
...and i stood before this wonderous flower today and in a soft breathy voice I said to it; ' you're beautiful, thank you for giving me this moment of pleasure'...and as i was walking away i heard in a whispering voice~your beautiful also~.
at that moment i realized that my whispers and the waft of this wonderous flower will live in perpetuity

friend(s)
is it because we’ve share smiles, shared laughter,
knew each other since our youth, seen joy and
sadness together, felt a common heartfelt pain,
that we should be recognized as friend(s)?
is there a level of love in being a friend, and should
it be of a place and time, in a certain vicinity of
space and distance or can this friendship sustain
in just by sharing words that emote feelings?
with this world now emersed in cybernetics, such as
television, cell phones, computers, that have created
avatars as friends, are they even real friends if
there is no person to person contact?
i love the morning sunrise, the moon and stars, love
the path i walk on aligned in arboreal display, with
wildflowers, and the
waft of sassafras, lilac, day lilies
and jonquils, oh yes, and the fauna that play amidst.
are they all not my life’s friends?
are you my friend(s) now because you’ve read my words,
and if you’re nodding yes as you read them, then we will have
intertwined our hearts fluttering in sync which signifies
we’re in this realm, called ‘life’, together, and so
at minimum, we are friends

into you
i find myself entwined into you
i hope you don't mind if i share my
space with you for this i know because
when you walk near me, i hear your heart
fluttering alongside of mind, and when you
touch me, my skin moves as if a warm breeze
has gently blown upon it, and then i sense
my spirit dancing with joy, for then i know
my being is intertwined in yours as t'was
made to be
takers
those who i had surrounded myself with have been tested by my crumbling, from being that pillar of strength. they have witnessed the human side of me that was not their support, their strength, there for their needs, but showing vulnerability of being truthful that i too need support and understanding of my human needs. i was now asking for their shoulder but they walked away, some ran not knowing or caring about me. this opened mine eyes as to who is there for me, family or friend. i realize that, with the exception of my partner in life that truly loves me, most others only wanted to take and not give. it opened mine eyes...

empathy shall prevail
as the morning arrives after a sleepless night
grateful is my heart, my spirit smiles, for i am
rich of life, wealthier than many because i have
my princess canine child, still have my wife
although mother nature’s attitude has been fickle
and vacillating, one day it glows with the warmth
of its radiant eye, stars twinkle at night, the moon smiles
then next, it’s angry breath blows tumbling the calm
‘man’ seems to mirror this vacillation between calm
and an angry storm, some of these souls are the
dark clouds throwing down thunder and lightning,
whilst the rest try to take cover and just thrive
yet, even those who are victims of these storms, who
wish to only care and share, some are influenced by the
angst of the storm, the vitriol, the hate, their empathy wanes
whilst trying to protect their own

all the while
..all the while as my naked feet traversed this dirt below them, the verdant blades of grasses and wildflowers, let the waves of ocean's best, ebb and flow between my toes on sandy beach, and so too, all the while, my feathered friends above sang to me to open mine eyes to the mornings where the crimson and gold of your fingered rays touched with warmth upon my face, this, your eye of ebullient joy reminds me of whilst i came and to where my spirit will once again be embraced~

from Mother Nature's closet
Mother Nature, Earth’s voice, reminds us that she
is in control of our destiny. She, on occasion and more
recently than before, reminds us that by our carelessness
to our designated responsibility as caretakers of her attire,
there comes a redress in requiring attention, reminding us
humans, that we are but visitors in her home
she watches us through the eyes of soaring Eagles, her
warnings are In the howls of the wolf. she reminds us of
her disgust through the spewing of hot rock on occasion,
through the angry winds and cleansing storms, uses the
fingers of the Sun’s rays to both feed with nutriment but
also, its scorching touch when we carelessly felling her tree
garden
when she wishes, though, to show off in plain sight by
feeding and behold’n to our eyes, in a titillation and gasp
by a flutter in the rhythm of the heart whilst sharing the
beauty of its dawn and dusk, the day and night, the gift
of her beauty…
embracing today
