'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~

does a new born flower bud wonder as it looks

around…'will i grow to be as radiant as that golden

sunflower that has all of the sun’s attention and

the clouds hovering o’er, fawning of its beauty'

so too, i ask, when a crimson cardinal perches on

a large arbor oak’s limb ...is the tree filled with pride,

that this winged angel visits with its glorious red

plume vest, singing to greet the morning's ethereal

horizon

little do we know of this, for it is considered as

a human condition only, but in that, i believe love

is the intrinsic fiber of all, then it is surely shallow

of our species to think otherwise of the flower,

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
