FB Recap

I apologize for not being everywhere all the time, but soon I will be again.  I catch moments of fleeting time and try to make sure I am still writing and posting, but not quite as regular as I usually am.  I SHALL return.  Please bear with me.  These were all posts from my FB this week - apologies to those who have already read them.  Again, freshness will resume soon!

Stage

Wispy strains

of music afloat

softly call to

Butterflies

released from

fluttering inside.

Wings on her toes,

light as leaves

on a breeze,

She flows

leaping into their

flighted dance.

Homeward Bound

There are roads that take you somewhere, lanes for you to roam;

There are highways heading east and west, and some ways take you home.

Your eyes scan far horizons where road aligns with sky,

And then it dips away again before another high.

Sinuous and soothing go the ribbons through the fields,

And every stop amid the peace reminds our hearts to yield.

Hold the air, the soil, the sun - warmth before the cold;

And give way to the hurriers - they're only growing old.

The fact is roads are all the same: your way is meant to be -

For all the roads you travel on have home-bound scenery.

Poem inspiration: 
- The first sighting of a rainbow by my 4 year old grand daughter one evening when the sun broke through before sunset after a day of rain. -  Breathtaking both child and rainbow...

“I didn’t know those were real in real life! It’s the first one I ever saw! It has all the beautiful colors! I want to look at this forever!”
Though we didn’t get a good picture, she drew it the next morning. 

Promise

When I see a rainbow,

That palette all revealed,

I'm fascinated how sun and rain

Keep mysteries concealed.

Do you remember the first you saw

And how it made you feel?

Remember being mesmerized

By colors arched surreal?

Oh, could that moment be recalled

Whe fantasy turned real,

And misty hues threw arms around

A world with God's own seal!
