Does the summer breeze
carry thoughts of me to you?
Do your dreams paint pictures of us?
I wish to be the place you go
at the end of your day
I don’t want to be a fraction
in your life equation
I long to be your sole distraction

Do you have a family member or friend who is constantly taking photos? Do you have moments when you just don’t want to be the subject? I do, I have and I’ve been the guilty one clicking away.
Copper’s been in our family for over three years now and I think we’ve taken about a million photos of him (slight exaggeration). But for those of you who own pets, don’t you agree there can never be too many pictures of our furry friends?
I took the first three when he had better things to do (like chew on his bone). However, he complied but not without attitude. 🙂 He weighs about 74 lbs, is tall and lean and all muscle, which is why this first photo makes me smile. In the photos following, you’ll see his true self.
“If you insist”
“Time’s almost up”
“I’m done!”
and now some photos from my son…
and lastly, with me
I hope you enjoyed this peek into Copper’s life
and I wish you a smooth and peaceful start to your new week!
Lots of Love, Lauren 🙂 ♥
I’ve reached a place
I never dared to imagine
There is beauty here
but also emotional pain
The invisible line can be
clearly seen but it has
yet to be crossed
Is this reality or dream?

Whether love works or whether it doesn’t
Whether timing is on or whether it isn’t
Love simply is
It seeps into our minds
and weaves into our hearts
Every sense is aware of its presence
We can feel it, hear it, say it, taste it
Try as we might to escape,
we’re captured with intensity
never felt before
Sometimes life guides us to letting go
but in the midst of elation, we hold on
and allow our hearts to soar

(I’m not sure this could be called poetry;
it’s more of random thoughts I felt like sharing) 🙂
Wishing you a Terrific Tuesday! ♥
escaping the noise
watching nature’s performance
silence, embrace me

It took some strength
to part the heavy curtains
of manipulated visions
and clouded thoughts
of the duo in my head,
how ridiculous I’ve been
My heart soon would be
placed in the warmth
of your hands
but this central part of me
felt the chill instead and
before my head went under,
I realized your true colors

Poem and Photo
That touch of lips
never having a chance,
the intimacy of arm in arm
missing its first dance,
the quiet talking
late into the night
while the moon
provided its light,
those moments imagined
when bodies were one
giving depth of love
until evening was done,
Reality is strong and
you are but a vision,
I am just a dreamer
with my heart, imprisoned

After immersing myself
in these characters I’ve
grown to know and love,
my eyes tell me
the night has come
to a close
I resist though, for the
world I’m reading about
has become a part of me
but I can no longer
fight the tiredness
Surrendering to my
bed’s comfort, the
pillow caresses my
head and with an
exhausted body,
I breathe in deeply,
ready for sleep
but instead,
my mind suddenly
wakes with many
swirling thoughts,
not mindful of the time
or the resting sun
The house is quiet
except for the soft,
methodical breathing
of my sleeping husband
and I sigh…
