Thought For Today

Friday, September 11, 2009

Scattered Thoughts; Scattered Mind

Scattered Thoughts; Scattered Mind


Scattered thoughts; Scattered Mind
Everything at once

Think of this; Think of that
How to keep it straight

Do this; Do that
Hands are flying high

Go here; Go there
Which way is up

Crazy life; Crazy world
How to slow it down

Breathe now, Breath deep
Focus on the breath

In slow; Out fast
Calmness entering

Quiet mind; Quiet breath
Mindful meditation


Open heart; Open mind
Peace is coming now

Noises come; Noises go
A humming in your ear

Letting go; Letting God
Welcome serenity

Light comes; Light shines
Listen to the earth

Heart beat; Heart felt
Music of the soul

Peaceful day; Peaceful night
Spirit's soaring high

Trust Light; Trust Love
All the chaos gone

With Love and Light;

and of course you know I had to add my 2 cents:

Best of Show

Lawrence is a person that looks and shoots


Stories in pictures in his cowboy boots


He captures a moment or an event


Forever in time for he's quite a gent


His talent is big as his smile is wide


He's always got a camera by his side


Off to roundups or rodeos


Always a picture wherever he goes


He's rounding up cattle or a horse or two


Working hard as cowboys do


Yet up in his saddle views catch his eye


He quick draws his camera and shoots, Oh my


A rodeo clown or a barrel racer


Careful he'll shoot, he's a photo chaser


A handsome cowboy dressed in his chaps


Shutters ready and off he snaps


With eyes of an artist and cowboy hands


His camera it follows his commands


With boots and spurs and his trusty horse


He'll capture your heart with a picture of course


Keep your dreams and hold onto them high


Cowboy, keep shooting in the blink of an eye


This is only the beginning of that I know


So Congratulations on your Best of Show


with Love and Light,


Nina P.

Bubbles

A child plays and bubbles fly
up into the air
They hesitate and dance a bit
as if they have no care
They swirl around with rainbows hue
giggles on the ground
Children run and try to catch
these playful little rounds




Playing with the wind
they dance a little dance
Arms reach up with screams of glee
little feet begin to prance
Gliding down, fingers touch
then gone within a flash
Smiling faces little feet run
and soon more bubbles dash


The grass is green, the sky so blue
rainbow bubbles high
They sail along as if with wings
no limits only sky

Try to touch on tippy toes
bubbles just out of reach
Jump on up and stretch so far
"come back" little voices screech 


Running fast and looking up
someone points and stares
A look of wonder in their eye
as bubbles touch their hair

Fun and laughter fill the air
children and bubbles play
seems no end to the fun
till evening ends their day

Little feet come running in
Bubbles on their hands
Water cleans Bubbles goodbye
Slumber now commands

Children fed ,sleepy heads
Sweet dreams fill their mind
Angles play with rainbow bubbles
imagination, what a find
