This post is for Yellow Mellow Monday, a site I have seen on Becca’s site that she connects to and I find I do as well. Find them at http://mellowyellowmonday.blogspot.com
Yellow roses remind          
me of another place
another time when
promises seemed to
only require the
saying of “I do”

Flood waters have
subsided
irrelevant of the
time and space
left between
as differentially
notations are jotted
down in betwixt
margins
in my mind
filtered down
amongst
darkened hallways
secreted away in
shadows hiding you
from me erudite
of those times
when bewildered by
your bravery
I would glance
skyward and finding
you there was
filled with wonder
you extend your arms
to me laughing
exposing a
reality
your revelation
 but my ephihany of
living fearless as
you enfold me
warmly melting
away all
sorrow
in invitation to
your treetop canopy
where the waters
have left you
I contemplate if
this is a dream…or
something
much more

I dreamt of my oldest daughter who has Lupus and is presently not doing very well, a surgery pending and perhaps another…we aren’t sure…and felt it had to be written down.
Images iced and frozen          
held captive in a
storms frozen embrace
where time and the
cycle of nature only
will release them

Small Stone for WOHA at http://writingourwayhome.ning.com
Life woven together intrinically
with indelible ink that may fade
with time but not alter the
unalterable truth of those we
connect to as families of origin
with ties that bind over time

Let thy spirit soar to
skies toward the clouds
to play on high
Capture sun rays on
spirit wings to glisten
where the birds do sing
Then will it toward the
earth to fall to speed
along earthen vale
That nature wrought with
love and might where your
spirit doth takes flight
Then direct your path to
oceans wide to collect
the sea salt in the tide
Take there your written
words abide within the
tides of time reside
Your spirit belongs to
you alone loving all
earth above and below

Inspiration struck when I visited my friend’s site in New Zealand and viewed a video she posted there called 2012 Year of Power. Thank you Marja for a beautiful site filled with ideas of wonder. I invite you to go to her site and see this video. See http://dutchcorner.blogspot.com and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
The chrysalis as
a time capsule
holds the portent
to past lives
new beginnings

Charismatic leader gathering its’
flock together as easily as the
wise owl ready to take flight as
wide-eyed followers congregate
waiting for the moment they too
will receive all knowledge to
enable them to transform from
fledglings to feathered, rising
above and seeing for the very
first time the world that they
live in but what will they really
see…curiouser and curiouser

Queries reminiscent,
searching fragmented,
timeless paths across
multitudes of soul
troubled landscape
destination of
Spirit unknown

Penultimate visions of time
swirling as particles of
sand through an hourglass
capturing but unable to
hold youth’s victory over
age as the pendulum swings
keeping years in motion
forever capturing the sweet
smell of a rose’s passion a
memories bittersweet gift
while the petals wither to
vanish and die forgotten

Measured in moments, seconds,
minutes,hours,days,months,years,
held in the palm of a hand
worn on a wrist, seen on
walls in offices, homes
trusting it will continue
but what is there
without it…
Eternity
