I can’t figure it out.
I’ve pondered and analyzed
to my heart’s discontent
and still, nothing makes sense.
I think I’ll take a walk
into the woods,
to be embraced
by the gentle breeze,
to be touched by
serenity,
and I need to see the trees.
They have a keen sense
of awareness,
so I’m going to ask them.
Yes, the trees will know.

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! ♥
There are no words
to be penned
They caught a ride
on the last gust
of wind
A one-way ticket
Emptiness settles in
I’ve tried pulling
consonants and vowels
from anywhere and
everywhere,
hoping to reunite
them with emotions
but they’ve slipped
through my fingers
only to land on a
another poet’s
blank piece of
paper

I have a thought
anxious to be said
it’s been lingering for hours
inside of my head
It’s a very kind thought
I’m sure you’ll agree
so sit right down
and listen to me
It comes with words
to warm your heart
but listen intently
they’re not the best part
They’re only a fraction
of what this thought is
the words unsaid
you don’t want to miss
First let me just say
I appreciate your patience
sitting there nicely
attentive and gracious
Yet fearing a blunder
after all this preparation
I’m feeling distraught
with much exasperation
So I say with regret
and embarrassment this day
my thought, so important
has somehow slipped away!

Imagine the future visible through a magic globe,
what is it you would wish to know?
Would peace of mind follow the facts
or would your mind be less relaxed?
Long awaited answers would fill in the blanks;
no more wondering, but would you give thanks?
Learning the future and after all is said
could strip your days of joy, filling you with dread
So living in the here and now might just be the best
instead of venturing into this mysterious quest

I don’t think I’m the only one whose mind wanders into the future,
especially in the beginning of a new year,
so this is just something fun (or not) to think about.
But for now, I’ll just take each day as it comes
and enjoy the anticipation!
🙂
Do you need rest,
solitude for your
heart and mind?
Accept and embrace it
and don’t be shy
to admit a fraction
of you needs only to
hear silence
where the depths of
your thoughts can
grow from their
lingering state
A precious gift
for your own
sake

Life’s events
stun and surprise us
some lovely and wonderful
others filled with sadness
Though we search and try
with all of our might
questions remain
with no answers in sight
So we cast our burdens
Let Him carry us through
for only He knows best
in everything we do
We watch our worries
fall to the floor
and feel freedom at last
with no thoughts at war
Our minds are at ease now
a breath of fresh air
Moving forward again
In our pocket, a prayer

Letters float with clouds in the sky
while it’s vital that I focus and drive
Inspiration has its own timing
and it’s not always perfectly aligning
I’m not penning while watching the road
yet, containing my thoughts in some crazy code
and just when I felt they were safely concealed
they drifted away on kite’s tail over field
