Oh, nature,
You lured me outside with your whisp of fog.
Your heavy cloud blocking the rising sun.
Like a shelf holding things up too high to see.
You lured me outside with your dew kissed everything.
Your misty embrace. I was enchanted. Soothed and invigorated.
Nature, thank you. For your magical morning that lured me outside.
It was a wonderful delight. A cherished moment in time.
You have my permission to lure again and again.
So I may feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
Alive once more.
sometimes I hide inside this cozy bubble of joy.
holding tight the moment.
until it has cultivated to a point where I can no long contain
the joy.
it bursts forth at will.
on its own.
…..
sometimes I hide inside the kids play fort.
with only one goal in mind.
to burst forth when one of them walks past.
creating a blanket of laughter and giggles.
holding space for the joy to envelope us all.
….
sometimes I hide inside to heal a hurt I no longer want to feel.
the raw deep emotion that keeps lapping at my joy.
eroding my moments with dust of the past.
holding it gently to wait patiently for it to crumble
to dust of its own. returning a few times to make sure
the hurt is truly gone.
….
sometimes I hide inside for the briefest of moments.
long enough to say, I love you. thank you for this day.
bursting back out to climb those vast moments sprinkled with life.
embracing the joy and the pain with what is needed again and again.
….
most times I stand here in the moment embracing
a life so spectacular that love could only have created it.
To Close
the Lines blur
emotions Swirl
too Close to see
the Detail
of things.
Stepping Back
one Step
maybe two
Back away
to See
Clearly now
’twas a Dream
Close in Again
One will See
the depth of brilliance
Open reality.
Reaching Forward
the Light I seek
is reaching Me.
in every moment I walk
to Thee. Open arms.
Open heart. Broken open.
reverent Start.
Sun sets. Sprinkled with the tiniest of color.
Squinting, we can see. A bit of yellow. Among the grey.
The sun still feels good on the face. Caressing the trees.
Bringing life to the everything.
Among the grass. Beneath the trees. Along the coast. Among these things. Sits a place within us all. Tempered to withstand a fall. Strong enough to launch us up. Free us from this worldly rush. Within us lies the deepest calm. The vastest ocean. The most melodic song. A single, simple, joy-filled place. Open for us to embrace. Skip and run. Crawl and dive. However, you go. Go inside. Hold that sacred, holy place within your heart. Go. It awaits!
Sit with patience. Love and understanding.
Hold yourself in high regards.
All is in place now to go forward.
Seek what’s yours, you will find.
Love and understanding are yours to keep.
Angled in the world we reap.
Blooms and buds awaken now.
In this moment you have as well.
Holding in a higher place.
The power in the angelic embrace.
Go forth with peace within your heart.
Forever moving. Never part.
Grounded in the faith you bring.
Shining light. Forward spring.
As the grass turns shades of green.
The trees bud and bloom.
Flowers push through the earth
to face the brilliant blue.
Heaven opens her golden gates.
Our hearts are full once more.
Open to the grace we sought.
Free to fly and soar.
Dazzling brilliant sunlight
on a fine, crisp spring day.
Brings a hint of warmth.
Breath of earth to carry winter away.
As the snow occasionally drifts
past the budded trees
to land lazily on the grass of brilliant green.
A chicken walked into the yard.
Why did the chicken cross the grass?
How many hens does it take too…
Ahhh…I don’t know, but keep an eye out for those jokers today.
😉 Happy April Fool’s Day!
Off to prank the kids. 🙃
Upon a trail he lives.
Mossy smile he gives.
Happily greeting all who see
his smiling face upon the tree.
I think this moss is a true artist.
Love, blessings, and wonder filled days, 💕 Carrie
