Silence

There is true magic in silence
You can hear and feel,your own heat beat.
experience fully the depth of your breath
And if you can silence your mind
you may even hear the whispers
messages full of answers
healing & joyful
answers

As it starts with a whisper
a clue, a book will open
you may be sitting in a diner
then you over hear a conversation containing the clue
Who would believe you found the answer
as you walked down the road.
a sign a drawing, a smile

A simple whisper would do
but no I need a truck to fall on my head
or some one to push me out of bed.
I like things the hard way

wake up
Even your hamster on a wheel
holds wisdom
You can not keep doing the same thing
over and over
try something new

watch out for all the clues
it is that simple
God will whisper in your ear
all you need to do is listen.

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

Field of dreams

Wheat Field with Rising Sun, Vincent Van Gogh, 1889

 The field is full of dreams

Some of which are left unseen

The sky may never sigh

The ground is really round

Many thoughts abound

So many details

What story does this really tell ?

Could this life be an illusion

A dream and we participate  

Just images we paint

We label and describe

Do we drink in our senses

 walk around unnoticed 

As the hills howl

the sun scorches

the wind blows

Do I dare use my nose

And partake of this beautiful rose ?

Happy 4th to all .

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

Magpie tail # 68 The Eye

 Look into my eye

You may see me sigh

but you will not catch me cry

Do you not see my soul

It is deep in the center of my eyes

It tells the story and will never lie

The truth is 

I am me and I am free

I will not conform

So I will never be adorn

I will just me

The way I was born to be

Wild and free

 

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

A new view

Give your self a new view

We all believe we own this place

but we only borrow this space

The world is not ours to control

Mother nature has taken a toll

She reminds us this place we call home

Is hers to control

The rain is seen as an on going thing

But it is natures way of cleansing

All the chemicals away

So nature can regain its health

So. give yourself permission to look at this day 

in a whole new way. 

Take time to play

The world is renewing its self

We have no choice but to go with the flow

look at this change with new eyes

What is washed way, will become new

It was not meant to make you blue

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

Oh to John

I was not going to do the story on this man

I have spent many nights ignoring this man

He is my husbands delight

But not in my sight

I have respect for him

But how many times can you watch reruns of him ?

My husband could listen to him all day
Maybe even dream of being him all night

 Would he give me this much time of day or night

Nope :)

Not even if I road in on a horse

Or put on a fancy western dress

I could not even rope a calf
And get him to laugh
But you can say, I am his better half
I hope you do not think of this as mean
I just wish to be seen

A poem written by me for  Blue bell books
Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

 OH, DEAR !

WHAT MUST I DO.

I fuss and muss

I wear my best

Yet, no one dare, give me a stare.

Must I show my slip

Or even strip

I  DARE NOT SHOW MY HIP.

These men

Do not even grin

Will my life always be this nice ?

Not one look, let alone twice

I'll show them, 

One day I will !

When I become the queen

They will never even be seen

Note:

Photo is The Banquet Scene with a Lute Player by Nicolas Tournier, 1625,
This is the first time I have ever written any thing this arrogant with humor before. But these are the words that spoke to me from the painting.

I do remember

 As my pencil flows on the paper

My thought also flow to days long gone

when things were much diffrent

Time just flew by

So now I sit here and sigh

Where did the time go

I may never know

As I sketch and paint

I admit the memory is faint

But I do remember

Nothing to say

So much to say

Yet nothing to say

This is my day

Am I confused ?

No I am amused

I digitally paint my life away

emotions explored

Yet I am ignored

What good is it to speak

It only makes me weak

No one listens

So I sit in silence

I write and create a life

I am in need

Yet fail to plant a seed

I do grow as he withers

So do I live a fairy tail life

No but I create one in my mind 

And paint it to give it life 

This is a new way of writing poetry for me. I have to say I kinda like it. I have stared at the image above and added to it for days. It speaks to me and send love. Yet I can not put what I feel from it into words. The girl is an image I created for Amelia on my other blog. And the back ground evolved more each day. 
Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

Love in the sky

 Look up to the sky

When you see a smile in the cloud

You will know it's Me

I can feel such a drain

It spreads to all though the rain

Please find your joy, Smile

 I send you my love

Threw the sky we float calmly

Dreams of peace fly bye

Put love in your heart
Share it with every one now
Soon we will all heal

As our soul sighs, awe
Love creeps in & leaves you a grin
see smile on your chin

Laughter

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

Through the eyes of a child

Jeremy drew this saturday

I colored it in with digital color.
This is his cartoon version of us his grandparents.

My seasons By me.

In the spring time I come alive, full of love and light.
My heart is on fire with garden thoughts, I will never tire.
Summer is ablaze with my thoughts in a daze.
Roses a bloomin and thoughts of the lake are stewing.
Fall is full of color like no other.
Winter is both, dark and light with snow.
Ice sickles growing and fires are glowing.
Snug in my blanket, I dream of spring.
Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.
