REKINDLED LOVE
On a lonely beach
Dinner for two
Is what you chose
Heart pounding
Hands sweating
Mind unfocused
Speechless
Beside you
I stood
Arm in arm
You guided me
And whispered
Be with me
Stay with me
Live with me
Lighter than air
Softer than silk
Warmer than summer
You embraced
Me whole
With gentleness
You kissed
My lips
With tenderness
I reaccepted
A ring’s
Caressed
My heart
My soul
My life
Has been
It is and
Will be
Only for
My true love
You, my Husband
Which clouds do your eyes focus on when you travel?
Is it the darkest ones in the far distance gathering for a storm, or the ones above you ready to release their showers, or the one drifting above the grown, soon to vanish before you draw near?
For me? It was the whitest one of all. It drifted low, rapidly changing, becoming smaller the closer my husband drove around the bend.
Clouds fascinate me. They deliver more than destruction or harm when they release the rain. They provide what’s needed for change to occur.
One day, maybe tomorrow or next spring, change will be seen. Not just by the new growth, but by the maturity and strength of how the tree, the bush or the vine endured the dark, heavy clouds that soon would appear.
️IN THE END️
May your last
Moments of today
Be filled with
Passionate colors
Of emotions
Leaving a hunger
To wake again
They may seem like
micro events for others
But your acts of love
Are treasured in my heart
To recall when your gone
Tire you come home
With car keys in hand
You say, “Let’s go and
Set your cares free
Be relief and find peace.”
When you hold me
Your heartbeats ring
A triumphant melody
No words are needed
To know I’m safe with you
Honest words you speak
“Choose your movie
But please forgive me
If I fall asleep before you
I’ve had a challenging day”
At night, you kneel
By my side and pray
For the nightmare
Returned and stayed
Our child in trouble again
In the morning, I wake
your foot next to mine
I smile, you’ve remembered
What my heart need to know
I’m on your mind and in your heart
I’m not sure why tree trunks have captivated me recently.
Maybe, because of their glistening colors at sunset.
Or maybe, they impress me on how they endured the harsh winter weather.
What they needed to lose, their outer skin, and weak branches, were for them to be able to expand and grow.
Besides the fallen branches were not strong enough to endure the snow, ice and winds.
Hum . . . maybe that’s why I experience losses this past season of life.
I need to let go and grow.
Well, I’m ready to expand my horizon and shine with a smile when the sunsets come.
With God’s help, I will carry on.
Driving south on highway-1 from Anchorage, the view is beyond capturing, but I still try.
It changes in minutes, just beyond the cluster of trees, over the bridge, after the next set of mountains, practically on every curve of the road.
Because there isn’t always a place to pull over to the side of the road, I have to photograph from a moving car.
One must be watchful and careful on this highway, it is dangerous, not only because of animals, but people and the weather.
When I see a grand scene, I photograph the view from a moving car as quickly as I can. Many times what I see before me, the camera can’t capture well.
One, the grand view changes too fast.
Two, light is difficult to photograph period.
Three, a moving vehicles with a snowy, dirty windshield causes fuzzy photos.
But, I kept trying. I had to show you what I saw, because it expanded my chest wider, pulled my shoulders back, released my concerns and helped me breath deeper again.
Once, I can stop. I do and then the scene swallows me whole. Nature does it every time, it reminded me of Who is actually in control and it’s not me.
Last Friday of the Year
Be Good, Be Kind, Be patient,
Be Happy, Be thankful, Be forgiving
Be loving, Be respectful, Be considerate
End it well
For your sake and everyone around you
If you don’t think you can
Meditate and Pray
Wishing you a Happy End of the year!
