This photo is one I found that reminds me of the fields of flowers we have in the Spring here in Washington (Spring has yet to announce itself) but these are in the beautiful country of Holland. Enjoy!
Apologetic Sighs
The distant thunder of
apologetic sighs
creeps unheeded into
our days and nights
giving us pause to
consider again
how much it means to
have family and friends
pulls at our hearts to
correct and make right
the ills of all wrongs of
sufferings and plights
The distand thunder of
apologetic sighs
creeps unheeded into
our days and nights

Part of My Heart and Soul
Why do I worry about you so               
because you are part of
my heart and soul
your soft baby skin
your twinkling brown eyes
caused me to smile and
then to sigh
from the moment they laid
you in my arms I was
captivated by your charms                            Image by Anne GeddesÂ
to know I was chosen to ride
with you on life’s journey
in all that you do now
a woman with children too
so why do I worry and
love you so because
you are part of my
heart and soul

Woke up this morning to snow covering my car and the ground. Bit of odd weather that everyone seems to be having these days.
Mellow Yellow Monday
Found this image of a dwarf lemon tree much like the one that grows in my dad’s backyard in CA. I look foward to visiting because the lemons are so much better than anything you could buy in the store.
Second Hand Antiques
Walking amidst                          
discarded toys
much-loved dolls
waiting
longing
to be held again
rusted bicycles
wooden soldiers
metal cars
among old furniture
sofas, chairs,
tables, sideboards
mysterious objects
containers
holding memories of
days in
someone’s
life
photos dated nineteen
something
black and white
tin type sepia tones
some smiling
others solemn
captured within
gilded
frames
old crates labeled
fresh milk
brass and glass
door knobs that
held open
doors
another era
knick knacks
figurines
walking amidst
second-hand treasures
valued as
antiques to
collectors but to
many a walk
through history a
glimpse into
the past

Mellow Yellow Monday
I use to have grape vines in my backyard and found this image that reminded me of the grapes that would hang on the vines. A lot of work so I no longer have them but the grapes they produced were really good.
Field of Wild Flowers and Queen Anne’s Lace
She summons the courage to
propel herself forward
back in time past school
yards covered in dirt
surrounded by chain link
fences with children
playing nursery rhymes
but all she really wants
is to lie down in a field
of wild flowers amidst
the queen anne’s lace
She wills herself to run
past youthful wiles of
teen age pessimism all
heart’s emotions a roller
coaster played out in a
game of self-fulfilling
hurt of loveless guiles
but all she really wants
is to lie down in a field
of wild flowers amidst
the queen anne’s lace
She takes determined steps
past hopeful dreams
anchored in the concrete
of city streets and high
rise buildings with a
widening gap of poverty
and wealthy ego schemes
but all she really wants
is to lie down in a field
of wild flowers amidst
the queen anne’s lace
She propels herself forward
past everything gone to
here and now trying to find
her spirit at last letting
go of the trappings of life
free to love and give back
passion of life in flying
so then she can finally be
able to lie down in a field
of wild flowers amidst
the queen anne’s lace
