“Yours” Is a Promise

I am  yours
my soul tender and soft
my heart open
and vulnerable
for you and only you
I am laid bare
with my spirit reaching
and longing
pulsing
through every single
beat of my heart

Don’t let go

The Catnip

Bright green fades
as oils leech free
and the cat is
no longer
interested in thee
but the beauty of fall
graces your leaves
in a beautiful celebration
of the chill in the breeze
soon leaves will fall
as stems wither away
as ice replaces chill
and cold invades

What I See

Another world
wondrous and amazing
lies just beneath
our noses and our boots
if we are willing
to look closer
to see the miracle
of things unimaginable
hidden
within the ordinary

Take a moment
look closer

The Pause

Peacefullness
in a moment
spent
just watching
waiting
as time passes
silent
as the stillness
is all there is
and life
is suspended
breath held
heartbeat lags
and then exhale

Strength

Battered and bruised
delicate bits show
wear and tear
wounds and scars
scattered over
soft surfaces
from weathering
life’s rough
treatment
and yet…
we still bloom
for there is
strength
in the scars

Seeking Serenity

Sweet smelling smoke
swirls
in languid seduction
to dance in the air
on gentle currents
kissing the senses
with
ephemeral tendrils
and promise
a moment of serenity

pause and watch
breathe deep
