Silver Threads Of Nature

Silver Threads

I will leave you the peace in my soul
that will find you in the love of my heart

for I will leave you the memories shared
whether joyous dancing on the stage of life
or sadness fading in the shadows of day

for life has woven me a colorful garment
with silver threads of nature’s wisdom

that has hollowed out a place for you
where warm you will be in the sun’s embrace
followed by the path of a starlit moon

within which voices will sing in stardust
to lull you to sleep at the end of each day

where always you will wake to bird song
within which you will hear my voice true
giving you the peace within my soul
surrounded by the love within my heart

****Quote by Emily Dickinson****

“Hope is a thing with feathers
That perches in the soul;
And sings the tune without words
And never stops at all.”
-Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

Hope Too

I have been away from my writing due to those things in life of which I have no control. But due to that which I never lose in my life, that of Hope, I am now able to once again do that which gives meaning and purpose to what I do.  The last months have been long and sometimes difficult but never without Hope of tomorrow being better.

Quote by Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman is another wonderful writer and poet. Today I am posting something written by him.

“I celebrate
myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every
atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.”
-Walt Whitman
(1819-1892)
