Self

Alone in the crowd

drowning

in an empty pool

dressed

in front of everyone

yet naked

to myself

Thinking Spring

The winds of thought
move through my mind

The scent of spring
lives within

Individual

I no longer look at them as one

what one does they all do

I’ve learned that each has a shape a color

and may react different from the rest

Each is an individual

I will no longer judge all as one

each should be recognized for their involvement

An individual I now realize makes the whole

not the whole as one

I will from now on remember this…

No longer will I call it my hair

but my curls.

List

A touch…

A look…

A musical rhyme

can stir my heart at anytime

A scent…

A taste…

A funny story

can move me always far from worry

Wildflowers

Perfume scented air
fills the mind with dreams
fills the heart with love
Flowers of the heart
receive my gift of love

Savior

Depression and fatigue cover my heart

I continue hopeful and try moving forward

Wandering from room to room dodging this captive hold

I am the cause of my melancholy disposition

Knowing only from within will I find the way free

Yet I look for that savior to help me along

The soft hum of a tune reaches into my soul

caressing me as a mother to her child

This gentleness erases my despair

Oh!..the notes of Mozart the savoir of my happiness

Happiness

The weather is warm the sun out bright - the birds are busy
I watch the daffodils growing taller each day
waiting in anticipation for them to show their happy faces
then knowing it is spring I will sit and enjoy my happiness

Spring Hope

The white spring snow covers the flowers

keeping the warmth from rising

I long for the day to lounge on the ground

and gaze at the baby blue sky

Patience I hold to keep my dream breathing

knowing the day will soon come

when once again I can bask in the sun

making love to the baby blue sky
