waving in the summer breeze

Have the courage to listen to the poems of your heart.

Heart Song
Sing your own song
fling it into the air
be bold
uncontrolled
shout your own words
devout words
or somber
words of joyfulness
let your heart speak
its unique language
in poems of hopefulness
and peace
Still
Sunday Mini Challenge in the Garden – Shallows, Deeply
~
The robins still nest under my neighbor’s deck
and Zinnias are blooming in my garden
beckoning to the Monarch butterflies
I see squirrels and chipmunks scurrying through the yard
stocking up on birdseed that has
fallen from the feeders like
manna from heaven
in this crazy world where chaos seems the norm,
nature carries on

with bare feet
harvested grain is threshed
on bamboo mats
To My Son
You take my hand
and follow me with
unsteady steps and
simple trust
that I will lead you safely through
the springtime of your life
You run ahead
I follow close to
keep you safe from
unknown threats
as you skip playfully
through the summer of your life
Side by side
we walk along
companions in a life
of shared memories
your arm around my shoulder
as we stroll through the autumn of my life
You take my hand
I follow you with
unsteady steps and
simple trust
that you will lead me safely through
the winter of my life
