Last Chance

It’s almost time to
let sun take its curtain call
one last chance to shine

(I’m a little premature, as the sun will shine
for awhile longer before rain will begin,
but the garden is changing
and soon, seasons will, too.) 🙂

Raw Emotions

On August 22, 2014April 25, 2015 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry32 Comments

A million miles away
I feel pain
from the horror I hear

Young faces with
soft brown eyes
wonder why

With muted breath
and a shocked system
they got what they wanted

Living in walls of fear
shedding endless tears

Aflutter

Whenever you’re near
my heart goes aflutter
No matter my mood
you make me feel better
All flustered and such
I lose my control
from your slow, gentle touch
right down to my soul

I love when you love me
I love being your girl
You have a special way
that makes my mind swirl
Let’s take a ride to the sky
and see where we land
We’ll find magic anywhere
when we’re hand in hand

Harmony

Let there be peace in the world,
more laughter and love for our boys and girls.
Let goodwill and kindness, no matter your color,
be spread through the hearts of our brother.
Let compassion pour through our words and actions,
pulling all violence from our media attractions.
Let there be peace in the world,
to end all suffering for our boys and our girls.

Thanks so much for stopping by and
have a wonderful weekend! ♥

Carousel Dream

On August 13, 2014 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry57 Comments

She sleeps in her bed
with a comforter made of
pastel colored flowers and
a soft pillow for her head
Dreaming of silvery manes
and bows on white horses
as they ride on a carousel
with draped, sparkling reins
Outside her window, though
she hears shuffles and squeaks
and feels a bit frightful
from the night time show
Mom sings calming tunes
convincing her precious girl
the sounds were only the
language of raccoons

What is your Truth?

On August 10, 2014August 10, 2014 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry38 Comments

Are you where you want to be in your life
or do you still have dreams pending in the sky?

Do you begin each day with a joyful start
or does ‘worry’ clutter your mind and ‘hurt’ clog your heart?

Are you walking between the lines, feeling confused,
misplaced in the realm of normality, exhausted and bruised?

Try some soul searching for Bravery and invite Peace into your routine.
Give yourself credit for enduring any physical or emotional pain.

We’re not meant to exist simply in green meadows, dotted with flowers,
but remember to breathe in their beauty and to believe in Miracles.

Tomorrow’s Promise

On August 8, 2014 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry39 Comments

I dream in red
feeling warmth
through the sheets
from last night’s passion
Remembering
where your hands caressed
the trail your lips created
blushing a little
from your slow moving actions
our synchronized rhythm
soul to soul with no division
but this was only one way
of loving you
one part of being with you
I want more than a memory
stretched into forever
for you and me
hoping this dream continues
even after sunrise
I know it will
from the promise
of tomorrow in your eyes
