teardrops slowly fall
petals catch their emotions
nature’s consoling

      1. It’s good thank you. We are caring for our youngest grandson today as both his parents are sick. He became very tired and didn’t want to lay down so of course we got in the car and drove around the block. Now we’re sitting in the car, listening to the rain and the birds singing. 🎶🦜☔️

    1. Thanks, Charlotte, and I have recorded some poems on my posts in the last few months. But I’m not totally comfortable 🙂 so haven’t been consistent. I’ll try again in the future though. Thanks for stopping by!

  32. This is lovely, Lauren!

    When I was only in Grade 2 at elementary school, my family experienced a most traumatic and unforgettable, shocking incident. After returning home from church one Sunday, Dad opened the door, and I walked in ahead of my parents and sister. Something caught my eye across from our backyard where a public park ran the length of our street. Biker gangs had been increasingly prone to riding their ‘hogs’ through the large oval roadway that offered vehicle passengers the opportunity to enjoy seeing the many splendours of the park, including a public swimming pool.

  33. My apologies. To continue, what I saw was a male member of the bike gang, I presumed, that had done something to anger the bike gang and he was hung from a tree, naked, and covered in blood, beaten to death with clubs which witnesses later described. This frightening experience led my parents to decide that our family would move out to a rural area in the countryside. It was there amidst the splendour of the forests, nature, wildlife, and grazing livestock that I discovered what I felt was an essential coexistence that changed my family’s life altogether. Over the years at that location, I became so deeply connected with nature that I would soon become deeply taken by the discovery of poetry.

    Fast forward to the year 2000, I would venture to write poetry of my own, powerfully influenced by nature to this day. I also came to cherish our surroundings and marvelled all these years later just how powerful our blessed earth in all of its splendour would forever grace my living days thereafter! Thank you for this, Lauren!
