Spring Cleaning

Whether it is tradition, an end to winter or the activity that comes with longer days and sunshine, the season spring cleaning is upon us. Of course I am a little late in my spring cleaning. With the rainy days finding me able to do less activity outdoors, I welcome the chance to get caught up on indoor house keeping. Celebrating the installation of my new clothes washing machine, finds me non stop washing clothes.
I think not only do we find an impulse to clean and throw up things that might have collected over the winter, I feel we need to cleanse our mind , toss out the negative and fill it with positive. The negative can collect from those around us who feel comfortable dumping their problems and responsibilities on everyone else. As I take a deep breath and continue going about cleaning, I allow the positive m
a place in which free from the anchors that accumulate and hold a person down.

Only tomorrow
will truly reveal,
what awaits us
as we journey up hill.

Every turn and
you will find,
that you have
always been on
my mind.

~

Scattered papers
a poem or two,
some of them
are dreams of you.

Tears and happiness,
are gathered together
in a journey of
sorrow and bliss.

~

I hold on to a few things,
that no one would understand,
like the letters in my drawer
written by hand.

Stories of a day gone by,
when you first took
my hand and led
me to the clouds in the sky.

Embracing Souls

When we are together
heaven reveals to me,
the meaning of true love
and how it should be.

Peaceful as the night,
when embracing hearts
are holding on so
very, very tight.

~
I love you,
I love you,
I can't say it enough,
I love you,
I love you
a sprinkle of heaven dust.

I love you,
I love you,
may our worlds become one,
I love you,
I love you.

I love you,
I love you,
forever and a day,
I love you,
I love you.

~

In this story,
you have the lead,
and I am yours
for all eternity.

In this chapter,
we may be far apart,
but our souls are together,
and our hearts are one.

Page by page,
I quickly review,
the past and the present
and tomorrow anew.

You hold the pen,
you know where I belong,
so script the pages
and don't make it long.

One Moment in Time

Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo...

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love


~
Listening to the silence
your voice reaches out to me,
in whispers of sweetness
through a soft gentle breeze.

Your smile like the stars shining bright,
little reminders that jump started my life.
I can see the world in a different view,
since you opened my heart to the sky blue.

Our souls united, two into one
and our hearts were infused with love.
Your hand in mine, magical as can be,
from the moment you said hello, it
all felt like a dream.

~

I looked deep into my heart
and I saw your reflection
from a far.

I traced the magic and this
what I found, the love of
you and I was all around.

I couldn't deny it,
the truth was everywhere
and that is how our love
is shared.

Some things are truly meant to be,
the smile upon your face when
you are here with me.

The seasons document
in a variety of ways,
from spring shower,
to summer hours
through fall and a
winter day.




Bathing in Lavender,
to bring a calm my way,
as I feel restless in a
foolish kind of way.

The scent rewarding,
soothing to my soul
clearing my mind,
but can't unleash your hold.

I lay here in the dark of the night,
remembering what made my world
feel so right.

The stars are shining,
the moon no longer hiding,
the clouds in passing,
bring a  clearing to the night.
~
Listen close
and you will hear,
my whispers of love,
meant only for your ears.

Reach out to the darkness
and you will find,
that I am reaching back
in this lonely world of mine.

The Chapter Called Dreams

There I was in the chapter of my dreams,

reviewing the  moment you met up with me.

It wasn't an accident this I am sure,

for when you knocked upon the window,

I opened up the door.

 

I didn't want you to leave, ,

I wanted you to stay,

so I placed you in my heart

to embrace each and every day.

 

~

My heaven, my sweet embrace,

the passion that I hold is for you

my love.

 

Whether time places limits or

distance plays me the fool,

I'll not let go, as you have

a special hold.

 

Dreams are sometimes all I have,

no pinching or shaking,

I'm in the dreams where we

are holding hands.

 

 

 

 

 

Special Love

Follow me and you'll see the love we share,we are sunshine and rainbows and a breath of fresh air. Some things are with us for a limited time, but your heart and mine are forever entwined.   You are my thoughts in the morning and all through the day and the dream that awaits when the night sky shades. I am grateful for each moment of time, that we have to share, heart, soul and mind.   I have been given a gift that few will ever find, the eternal love when your heart met mine. My life took on a different view, when I our souls came together and life began anew.   It is sharing of hearts, the caring of the souls, the magic of life, when  love takes a hold. My heart shares in many a tale, but the one with you placed me in a spell.   You see a beauty, I see your charm, the kindness that blankets with a warmth. I gave my all, I trust you so and that is how our love began to grow.   The innocence that love details, when we take the barriers and the protective shields. There you'll see the beauty of life, when love takes a hold and makes the moment right.   Distance can't part the sky, my stars are your stars and your stars are mine. The mountains are fading, the rivers are bridged and our hearts together are one loving gift.

Like the image upon the water on a clear summer day your love can be seen upon my heart as it will never chance to fade.     Greed causes a hunger that cannot be fed.   ~ Each night I embrace the moment while holding you in my heart.   Every once in a while Something really great happens That makes the day a little sunnier And the flowers smell just a bit sweeter My love is rather simple and wants nothing in exchange,  but to kiss your lips good morning and share with you my day. My nights are romantic treasures, written in the heavens high and as I close my eyes to sleep, your image fills my mind. Some thing cannot be measured nor replaced with time, as once the heart is given, there is no returning a love so fine. ~ Why?   Until the combination of words are written so, that they will live on forever and with history grow. I'll move the words in sequence, switching them around in hopes that we will be remembered that love can't let go.   I'll borrow from the heavens, the angels song upon my soul, when it was first directed to me and gave a glimpse of the passion and desire that through my life grows.   I can feel it on the darkest days, it holds me so ever close, a comfort that embraces both near and afar. I can sense your being for our hearts are forever one and that is why I write the words to share our special love.

Dancing on Clouds

Though it is officially still spring, it feels like a lazy day of summer. I am not sure exactly what is going on. I am tired, it is dreary, yes a bit to much rain, the lawn is mushroom filled, the strawberries over watered and the stream overflowing its bed. I walked down to the greenhouse, quickly looked in on the plants, checked on my rooting of Dapple Willow and headed back up to the house. It is one of those days, that you find yourself gazing out the window, not wanting to do much of anything.
Molly my daughters miniature poodle has adopted me while my daughter is away at college. She is like my shadow, following my every step. Though we have had one to many storms , we still have to be grateful, as water is equal to life. The hills are a lush green and over growing filling in the empty spaces so that we can no longer be seen from the main road. It is actually a beautiful time of year and seems like a rather short season.
I woke with a slight headache this morning and tried to walk it off to no avail. It is not I don't hav things to do, matter of fact there is a lot that waits to be done. It is one of those days where I find myself reviewing the past and again questioning my decisions and the journey.
I believe that everything we do, every person we meet and everything that happens is part of the greater plan. Okay so what is the greater plan? That I have asked myself quite often. We want to think of ourselves as humans being superior to the world around us. Yet I find that we are just a tiny part of the puzzle. Maybe it's more like connecting the dots. As we review, we are revealed the meaning of a moment in time.
I have been friend, wife and mother for so many years, that I forgot what it was or I was for myself.
I talked with my friend Kay as our lives in many ways parallel. She is an amazing friend, who has the ability to pull me back, when my dreams have me sailing away. Reminding me that everything has a reason. Supportive, emotionally she reveals a strength in the face of her own weakness.
I have this urge to want to yell from a mountain top. Can you hear me?

It seems rather foolish,
to lay here awake,
daydreaming of yesterday,
when you first took my heart.

I never saw it coming and
I didn't understand,
but you filled the void
when you took my hand.

Some chapters go on forever,
some a page or two,
but our chapter is eternal
as the love I have for you.

~
Took my heart,
turned it inside out,
for everyone to view,
the love I have for you.

Took my dreams and
placed you in the part of king,
that is all I see when I close
my eyes and find you with me.

Took my hand,
held it close and held it tight,
made my life feel so right,
both day and night.

Took a moment of time,
made it last forever.
From the first hello,
I knew that you were mine.

~

Step on in
and you will see,
the world as it
was meant to be.

In my heart,
within my soul,
the love written,
as a magic hold.

Whispers to the angels,
grateful am I,
from the moment you
took my hand and danced
upon the clouds in the sky.

~
Dancing on Clouds- a state of Euphoria

Dance my love,
dance with me,
I hold you close,
through memories.

Dance my love,
dance with me,
with you I am
happy as happy
can be.

Dance my love,
dance with me,
our hearts now one
beating rhythmically.

Dance my love,
dance with me,
the image now
burnt to my memory.

Dance my love,
dance with me,
you are here in my heart
where you were meant
to be.

Snowflakes on a summer day,
the child who wants to play,
rainbows that bridge a sea
and touch on sweet memories

I can't help dreaming,
dreaming of you as I
wander through the fields
reaching out to you.

Summer snowflakes
falling to the ground,
a shiver to the soul,
it is your love coming down.

I embrace the silliness of dreams,
as I wait there in my subconscious
in hopes I'll awake and find
you right here with me.

~
The seasons matter little,
I care not where they go,
from winter through fall
our love continues to grow.

I know you are with me,
I knew all along,
placing you in my heart,
where your love remains
strong.

~

I watched the robin tending to her young,
protective she shared her gift of love.
I admired her courage as I peered into
her nest and she stood staring at me,
as if she giving me a test.

She marks the season,
the season of love,
when nature comes together
and everything is one.

~

When Love Writes the Script

I can find the beauty in the rising of the sun, as it warms my being, my heart is warmed by love. Granted vision that can see through all things, like a rainbow in a storm and the gifts each season brings. Thankful for each moment and happy am I, from the moment we met I saw stars in your eyes. Two smiles that came together, two hearts that have gently weathered and all is as it seems as I lay here and dream.
I wake to find your love is always in my heart and that is why the flame for you dances like a shadow on the wall. Brighter and stronger, the flame of love keeps burning hotter. Passion for life, a joy that makes everything feel right. I knew it the moment I met you, that life would never be the same and that is why I celebrate each and every day.

It is not a fairytale,
of a princess and need,
even when I am alone,
I know that I am your queen.

It is a story without an ending,
a tale of lovers without a clue,
when hearts come together and
the sky is an amazing blue.

I took my pen and I began to write
the words of love for you and I.
The words came from my heart
like a script written in the stars.

I need only close my eyes
to find you here with me,
you are the light in the darkness
and the love that lives in me.

~
There is a silence to be broken,
a song to be sung, as I listen to
my heart and the whispering
words of love .

My heart speaks of laughter,
of the joy you bring to me
on a journey through life,
more vast than the open sea.

There is no sorrow,
no pain in my heart,
when you are a distance,
your love still remains
deep within my heart.



Some declared to love so,
but when push come to shove
off they'd go.

Some said forever,
until my dying days,
but funny thing is,
I can't remember their name.

True love need not be spoken,
it can guide from afar,
like a candle in the night,
it can brighten like a star.

Expectation is disappointment
and that is why I accept what
times brings, whether you are
beside me or the love in my dreams.
