Hello Once Again!! "I Am, I Can, I Will"

Hello there one and all.
Been ages since my call
Life goes by
With many-a sigh
Here now it's already fall

Time kept us apart
Let us once again start
Sharing Life
Love,  Joy's even strife
Connecting heart to heart

~ Love and Blessings

A Memorial Day Tribute

HEAR THE SOUND OF SOLDIER'S BOOTS

Hear the sound of soldier's boots

That marched for Freedom strong

Hearts in cadence echo true

Whether it short or long

In the wind we feel the breath

Of those that died for you

In the fields where poppies grow

We see their valor too

Soldiers fallen in the fight

With loved ones left behind

Would do it all again you see

To free all human kind

Soldiers know that freedom reigns

When peace will fill the earth

Until then they carry on

Knowing what life is worth

Stand with me and honor those

That gave their life for all

Bless all those that now do wear

Our country's flag; their pall

Place your hand over your heart

Stand quiet if you please

Close your eyes and see them there

"A-ten-hut"; now "at ease"

Place your flowers and a flag

To honor those that passed

Then turn and thank a soldier

Pray for peace that will last

written with Love, Honor and  yes, a Hope someday for peace.

GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!

Morning Dew

Morning Dew

Like morning dew the day begins

with its silent symphony

Open up your mind and see

the sounds the sights the songs

Hear the beauty of the hues

as colors reawake

Feel the rhythm in the songs

when birds they serenade

 Smell the sunshine peeking out

over horizons crest 

Touch the wonder of the breeze

caressing to aware 

And taste the splendor in this day

as God touches your soul

 For like the morning dew we find

the synchronicity of life

Reflecting back on all that is

we see the Masters hand

The perfection of each hue each line

a canvas filled with love

 See the possibilities of each day

unfold with morning dew

Reflections

 Reflections of life follow us though

Our actions our words, all that we do

When beauty is found deep in our heart

The ripples that flow are just a  part

Harmony in each Echo of Love

Reflections, a gift from God above

written with reflections of Love and Light

Flowing River, Guiding Light

Life is precious,  hold it dear.

Live with God and have no fear.

All we need is in our hands

Ask and receive; God commands

 Grace is given, Mercy too

Guiding Light for all we do

Answered prayers while on our knee

God's pure Love will always be

Faithful servant loving life

Learning from our joys and strife

To give Love, also receive

Gifts from God when we believe

 

Grateful hearts open with Love

Filling with Peace from above

Hope springs forth as soft as dew

Souls rejoice as they renew

Beauty of Life glows inside

When in God's Love we abide

Flowing river, guiding Light

Feel the power of God's might

When Hearts Collide

 When Hearts Collide

No one knows the time or place

When two hearts beat as one

But know this Truth that it is so

Just as the rays of sun

Reaching deep into the soul

It warms the places there

A brighter sky and dancing clouds

All suddenly aware

Moonbeams grace the evening sky

Feelings will not subside

All that you see and feel right now

You know that hearts collide

People search a lifetime

For such a dream to come

So when it does please cherish it

When two hearts beat as one

Alone I wait

Alone I wait

 

Alone I wait in morning dew

Where all is soft and looks so new

I sit and watch and wait and stare

Thinking of all the things I care

Drizzling down this morning dawn

Thoughts of you have come and gone

Watching ripples by water's edge

Reflections of gray cross my ledge

How long I think until I hear?

The sweet sounding voice calling clear

Anticipation, beauty 'round

True love I wait, for I have found

Will you hear my soulful calling?

For it is you I am falling.

I call and wait for your reply

Until I hear I cannot fly

Soft feathers whisper back to me

Just wait my dear for all will be.

I'm Grounded in my love for you

Alone I wait in morning dew.

The Sun

The Sun

The sun; a star above the rest

Gives Light to all the living race

Without a thought of who is touched

It shines with Love and Peace and Grace

The mist of earth gives way to dawn

The water mirrors what's above

The trees stand guard with branches tall

Welcoming all with Light and Love

Sunbeam a brushstroke painting earth

With hues; a palette all its own

The beauty of this morning sky

Reflections of Love, God has sown

I Challenge You This Valentine's Day

I Challenge You This  Valentine's Day

We have this day called Valentine's Day

To honor  those we love

It's easy to remember them

Our soul's light as a dove

Were Love abounds and Angels sing

Emotions tender strong

We share our inner feelings

Showing loved ones they belong

We spread our wings as if to fly

And gently wrap them round

Embracing our very breath

As loved ones make hearts pound

If we could open our mind and soul

We'd find there's more to see

So many lonely people

Needing a hand from you and me

I challenge you this Valentine's Day

It's a perfect day to start

show the world compassion

Spreading Love from Heart to Heart

Giving a piece of  pocket and soul

Your spirit it will lift

Share your Love and Hope

Make this your new Valentine's gift

Give of yourself to people today

And you will find the key

A Heart that overflows

Will find Love that will always be

Happy Valentine's Day to One and All!

I wish you all Life's Best

A heart that's filled with Love

May you and yours be  Blessed

IT'S IN THE GENTLE CALLING

IT'S IN THE GENTLE CALLING

 

Softly speaks the wonder of the evening sky

Listen to the sound, its' soft and cooing sigh

Evening racing day and day saying good bye

It's in this gentle calling we hear the evening cry

The message that she brings is one of mother's Love

The beating of her heart soft as a flying dove

The sight the sound the feel, is all encompassing of

A heart, a mind and soul, speaking softly from above

Now before you turn and go, listen softly to the call

The whisper's  meant for you, from Forever and the All

The time we have between the dawn and evening's fall

Is our time to live in Love, standing strong and tall

Don't look back to long you see, for its ahead we laud

It's not the road behind us that can trip us as we trod

On this road we travel, we're troubled or we're awed

So listen gently to the voice and hear the words of God

Then follow in the footsteps as you walk into the night

For God so loved the world, he gave Eternal Light

And even in the darkness, you'll have unending sight

Hand in hand you'll travel, with courage and with might

It's in this gentle calling we  live out each new day

Listen, heaven whispers, there's so much more to say

Evening falls, we bow our heads, say "Thank You" as we pray

For in the sounds of silence, we hear "Love: it is The Way"

Be as the water of Life...

photo by Sharon Forsythe Hinkson

There is a deep current that runs steady and true....when  obstacles are in its path,  water passes by seemingly unnoticed...  yet, quietly... over time.... the  water  changes, carves, smooths, ... water cleanses and purifies....water is soothing and soft spoken...... water is powerful energy and raging currents..... water is a necessity to our very being....  it sustains us, it cleans us, it lifts us, it energizes us...

Be as the water of Life... run True....run Deep... energize those around you.... soften rough edges....for one drop, and another, and another... can change the world.... Be the water of Life, Be the water of Peace, Be the water of Love ~ Nina Pauline Ploetz

Drums They Now Sound

Drums They Now Sound

 photo by Karen Schiefer

Drums they now sound

A Great Warrior cries

The beat of the earth

Is felt around

Heart of the land

And cry of the nation

Song of the ancients

So close at hand

Whisper of sky

Strong Wind is now calling

And clouds going dark

With tears they cry

Earth it must turn

Trading day with the night

Looking for changes

And ways to learn

 Open your eyes

And see all around you

War, bombs,  destruction

Hear all the lies

 

The mountains shake

Fresh water now tainted

People are dying

All is at stake

Much that is lost

Is humanities hand

Fighting for power

At any cost

Stop all  the hate

And end the pollution

We must do it now

It's not too late

Start now. Today.

Your home is in trouble

Your food and your life

Hurry don't stray

Drums they now sound

We can answer their call

Focus on sharing

All that's around

Earth is our home

Her rhythm is calling

Healing is needed

Peace must now roam

For One with All

Is a union that lasts

One family called earth

We will not fall

Focus above

And make heaven on earth

Let's make a difference

With Peace and Love

The Seed of Life...

The Seed of Life...

 

 

The seed of life starts small, yet when planted and fed it changes and grows. As it sets its roots deep into the earth, it sends up a fragile shoot into the challenges of life. If kept in the dark, the growth will fade and not flourish. Add the Warmth of the Light and the fragile shoot lifts its head stretching, reaching, gaining strength and courage to grow. The Light invigorates the seed, giving it energy and the ability to thrive.... yet light without nourishment is not enough to sustain the seed.

Storms come and challenge the seed. However, with the storm comes the nourishment of rain. Even through the darkest and toughest storms, there is something that is given to the seed. When roots run true and deep , the strength is there to weather the storms of life. If the seed is never challenged, it may not be able to withstand the strains of the cycles of life... hence, from struggle there comes strength.

When the night  comes and  moonbeams shine, there is rest. A time and place for reflection, healing, change,  and growth. It is a time to contemplate and softly resonate with life.  A time to look to the stars and see the connections of life. A time to listen to the breeze and hear the wisdom of the ages. A time to dream, learn, and connect with the eternal. A place where new growth may want to stay and be held in moonbeams and dreams.

The seasons come and go and the rotation of life beckons our inner spirit. A new dawn awakens  and  the day begins  Blessed with the  power and strength  of Light. Stretching towards the Light, it nourishes through the leaves, to the stem and roots. Gaining strength and health, color and glory the seed of life is  nourished and grows.

Each day, each cycle of life, brings with it opportunities to persevere and grow. We are but seeds of humanity gaining from our earthly experiences. By learning lessons and growing In, With and Through the Light, we find Hope, Courage, Healing and Love. Through the diversity of experiences, we can live. Our soul grows in the Light, finds nourishment with the Spirit, and thrives through God's Love.

May you grow strong roots in the soil of the ONE Truth, may you germinate and grow ever reaching for the ONE Light, and may you Thrive with the knowledge that we are all brothers and sisters of the eternal family of ONE God. May we all nurture each other and grow into the beautiful Garden of our Creators design.

Plant Peace, Sow Kindness, and Be Love.

Twilight

Twilight

Twilight that mystical time before night

Heaven and earth such a magical sight

 

 

Suns gone to bed with moon on the rise

Birds take to nests and owls cry

The sounds of transition whisper around

Little difference between sky and  ground

As Vision questions what it sees

Fog soon covers both ground and trees

With anticipation of what lies ahead

Imagination turns to dreams instead

Breathe deep a breath of misty air

As light and dark this time do share

Faraway places and distant lands

Twilight  leads  as night commands

Dusk  gives way, the stars have won

The day is over and night's begun
