The softness of the mist
Illuminates the dew
Rainbows of color dance upon the rose
Butterflies and hummingbirds sing in tunes
As delicate as any cloud
Life renews itself with every morning’s gift
Fresh ideas and thoughts mingle with the breeze
Hopes not deterred give their promise of now
I sip my coffee within my world
Grateful for the beauty of life
And contentment with it’s joys.
Echoes of silence like distant drums
That can’t be heard
Yet beat in rhythm to heartbeats
No longer felt
Matching only the loneliest of thoughts
Sent skyward into the unknown
Destinies portrayed in shimmers
Of fleeting life
Offer no other promises.
As I sit here waiting
I feel change is coming
Trying to please God and my heart
Sometimes can’t co-exist
When I wait I struggle with lonliness
God has me on my protective island again
Just like when I lost my husband of 34 year
But it is hard not to feel deserted and dry
The beauty of the sea calls to me
The mountains I haven’t climbed
Whisper, “Come on!”
But I wait
My joy is seeping out slowly
Waiting, hoping, needing
But to know avail
No voices are heard
But those of my own heart
It waits with me
Watching, listening, crying, sighing
Oh well, maybe later.
I believe one of the saddest things a heart can hear is “I love you!”
Then it whispers, “But not enough”
How sad God must be when we say, “I love You!” to Him
Does He whisper in that ‘still small voice’
“But not enough”.
Wondering about some things
Wandering through my mind tonight
Will today be better than tomorrow?
Has my future taken another turn
In unexpected ways?
Unknowns call from the mist
But I won’t answer
Life’s curtain hangs beyond
The door of time
Waiting for me to mess up
And miss my miracles
I’m stronger now and I pray
For help from above
God answers and let’s me know I’ll be okay
The promise is there for me
To hold in my heart
And not throw it away with doubts
He has an eternal plan and I’m sure
There is one especially for me!
Waiting is not a kindred spirit of mine
I do not get along with it nor do I want too
I get gravelly like a rough road
That irritates rather than soothes
Expectations and reality do not
Ride well togther
They jostle each other
Pushing and shoving the have their own way
In the end there is no winner
For each must take a backseat to
Disappointments and loneliness
Along with a big dose of uninportance
With self-pity riding shotgun
Emotional bridges loom ahead
They must be faced then crossed
One at a time, step by step
For to not forge ahead no matter
what may be coming means
Stagnation of spirit and soul
Leaving only withered hopes behind.
Memories swirl within an aching heart
Tears flow from dark nights to daylight
Searching for peace but it hides
Thorns of regret and what if’s
Play their own sad songs
The unknowns dance among
The tattered dreams of what was not
And might never be
Still the flowers of hope
Try to bloom in this dark place
Maybe’s and could be’s call
But no answers come
Will tomorrow bring back
The dream that was lost?
The morning mist softens
The edges formed by doubt
Still the clock of time
Steals the seconds of mortality
They are placed with each click
Beyond the reach of yesterday
And into this life of lost moments.
Over the course of time
Some dreams do come true
Life delivers them like a newborn child
Soft, sweet, full of promise
Sheltered in the heart until birth
Waiting, hoping, learning
While watching for the signs
The pains of new life emerging
Stretching our mortal faith
Belonging, knowing, accepting
Fulfillment of the truth
Strengthened by the knowledge
that each moment, each hour, each day
Will bring forth this amazing promise
Which I will call: Miracle
Warm breezes of the day
Give in to the cool of the evening
Moving in cadence to the coming night
Drifting among the roses and moon-flowers
Light fades as stars gather round
Quietness serenades the moon with echoes
Peace descending on listening hearts
The Earth sighs it’s gratitude and delight
It has survived.
Chrystal stars sparkling
Within the darkened night
Lonely comets streaking
Across time and space
Faraway galaxies exploding
In creation of new life
Cosmic matter swirling
Within a meteor shower
Giving welcomed light then
Continuing on into forever
I know I am blessed beyond measure
For I have been invited
Go go along for the ride.
