Untamed Wildflower

Wildflower

She stands on the wind that has carried her
Back to the place where she was born
The soft green meadow underfoot
Laced with bright beautiful wildflowers
She soaks the sun in a haze
Looking back from where she has come
How she has grown
This was where she began
The journey through all of its elements
Tormenting her as much as refreshing her
Down the rocky shoreline
Across the wavy waters of the lake
Seeming to drown her when she was tired
And over the mountain
Under the fires of the sun
Baking her as she climbed higher
High enough to feel the breeze
Rising above it all until she sailed
Back to this point
Where it all began.

Springtime Symphony

So beautiful in heart,
in spirit
A spring flower, blooming in the breeze
While the air catches it petals

They wave across the field
Glowing in their colourful melody
Stretching above the weeds
Nourished by the melting snow
That has kept them frozen in time
Now she flourishes, radiant in the sunlight
As her passion draws magic
The symphony of nature
Alive once again, simple yet elegant beauty.

Rise Above

Feel the wind at your feet stirring
Gaining momentum and strength
Your pulse quickens in the breeze
Hair blows as your favourite hat takes off
You close your eyes imagining the lightness in your heart, and it lifts you to a place unseen
High along the currents, high above the clouds
For a moment you are unsteady
Like the hat tumbling along the shore
Until you realize the obstacles have gone
And you are drifting, flying
But from below you are soaring like the eagle
In the heavens with the angels
Feeling the freedom of integrity, honesty
To your own heart you are true
And you find your hat in the clouds
Wear it again with your head held high.

Tears of Silence

In those times of hush and hollow

Often unacknowledged,

Often unaddressed,

We turn inward,

Facing our fears and pains

Alone while maintaining the theater

Outside the curtain,

Hiding our secrets

And in the darkness still, tears may fall

Silent among deaf ears

Bittersweet Journey

The road is full of peaks and valleys

Ups and downs as we travel on an emotional plane

We reach the sky but fall sometimes

To the hard rocks that line the coast of the sea

We roll to the waters

That cleanse and wash the worries that weigh

Floating in waves we rest

Until we can continue the next uphill climb

After tragedy we become chrysalis

Cocooned as metamorphosis begins

The butterfly is born alive with the scent of wildflowers,

To soar above the clouds

To see the beauty below

That can be hard and rough and rocky

Pains of humanity trials we must pass through

Journeying into the sunset

Finding the map of the stars

Riding on the winds of change

Wildflower Among Thorns

Wildflowers, strong enough to rise again

After being trampled upon,

Tough enough to weather

The worst of summer storms

And able to flourish

Even in places people thought

They would never grow!

Breaking Free

Chains that bound

Released

The children have grown up

And mother looks out the window

Searching for the dreams of her youth

Watching in slow motion

While they return to her heart

As it begins to beat faster

Pulsating
Lifting her

She begins to run, skip, dance,

And she looks up to the skies that open

Pouring
Washing her

While she spins and swirls

Feeling the freshness on her face

Laughing joyfully

Then welcoming sunshine

That disperses the clouds

Warming her, drying her

And she dances again

Renewed

Enchanted Waltz

Autumn Dance

Sun goes down like summer fading
Colours exploding in the sky In the trees
While light and leaves
Brush the surface of the ground
With wind stirring slowly
Mixing the elements in a dance

To pay tribute to the glory of creation
Before the clouds fade to black
And the winter comes
Covering everything in white
One last spin and twirl In the evening of autumn
In the fading light
In the memories we will dream upon
When the night time puts us to sleep
