All posts for the month March, 2015

Majestically It Rises…

Majestically it rises
From the waters so clear

Caressing the rock face
That appears so sheer

Up over the land
And further beyond

It carries on through time
An invisible vagabond

Unplanned in it’s journey
Unsure of it’s destination

It goes about it’s way
Without a hint of caution

Sweeping across our land
Occasionally with fear

It refreshes the Spirits
Of all those who are near

I feel it on my face
As I sit near a window

A fresh wind so calming
One so soft and so mellow…

Silently They Stand…

Silently they stand
Commanding in appearance
Growing through years
Looking tall in the distance

Changes have been many
Man and his structures
Standing fine throughout
Life’s many junctures

From the smallest seed
They grew…
Through fire and storm
They are renewed…

Nestled in their arms
Their friends are many
Birds make it their home
Feeding their young aplenty

A beacon of Nature
There for all to see
Swaying in the wind
So strong and carefree

Respect them we must
For they give humanity life
Treat them with contempt
And we’ll end up in strife

The Horses

Settling back against a post
As he listens for any sound
The Sun beats down upon his form
As he sits upon the ground

His hat is dipped so slightly
Enough to allow him to see
The horses coming by him
So wild and so, so free

Running full, their shiny coats
Shimmering and glistening
Their legs pound the Earth
Ears full of listening

So graceful is their movement
Mesmerising so
He straightens up and watches
Them put on a show

They gallop off in the distance
A dust cloud does ensue
The cowboy settles back
As they disappear into the blue…

Striving To Succeed

We live our lives
With hope instilled

To build our dreams
With all our will

Obstacles come
From time to time

To test our strength
As we make our climb

Staying power
Is what we need

Going for that dream
Striving to succeed

Think, plan and work
And believe

Dream that dream
And achieve!

Emotional Furnace

Sitting on the porch
Strumming that guitar
Writing about their history
They’ve come so far

From early beginnings
Throughout their youth
Within their songs
They reach for the truth

Hardship, working life
Make up the verses
All the while
In an emotional furnace

Journey’s been hard
Will to win stubborn
Going through their lives
Always been governed

Seeking redemption
Wanting to be free
Listen to their story
To the future, they foresee…

Seeds Of Life

Bursting forth
In all its capacity
Water pours
Rather haphazardly

Random showers
Quenching the thirst
Seeds of life
About to burst

Breaking out
Of the casing they see
A whole new world
Where they can be free

Reaching up
To Sunlight so strong
They start to believe
That they will livelong

Over their Kingdom
Casting their eye
Part of the fragrance
Of friends nearby

A blessing they are
To all those who visit
A gracious carpet
Of flowers so exquisite!

Photos On The Wall

Photos on the wall
Tell our story

Convey our joys
And our history

Happy faces
Joyous moments

Richness of life
In all its components

Showing our growth
At each turn

Wanting the life
For which we yearn

Depressing times
Cast aside

Loving times
Fortifies

Presently feeling
More inspired

Love of life
Re-acquired
