Silhouette of beauty

The silhouette of beauty
Inside my garden’s rose
Colors my mood
With splendor
As each petal
Delicately folds
As the stillness
of the purple pond
Ripples to reach my toes
I soak in the reflection
Of the bud ~ slightly closed
Motionless in its profile
As it stills the dusk of day
~ capturing the silence
The purest beauty displayed

Happy new year

As the sun slides down the mountains

And the close of night draws near

The very last day of December

Meets the horizon of another year

May happiness touch every tomorrow

To make memories from each new day

Happy New Year to you and your family

Peace and blessings ~ and love always

Mums birthday - in remembrance

Where have all the years gone?

It seems like just yesterday you were here

Where does time evaporate?

Leaving the shell of another year

The stars will glisten and shine today  

So constant ~ as will always be

No matter how many years go by

You are with me ~ for eternity

Your refection shines through the

sun and the moon

As I dwell in happy memories you left me

In celebration of your day of birth

Inside the legacy you inspired deep within me

Life's highway

As you travel along life’s highway

Realizing the speed of time

Where the road in the rear view mirror

Colors the journey you define

The bends and turns of challenges

Have strengthened your inner force

Infused your every decision

Every choice you have endorsed

So continue the ride ~ this journey

Along the great highway of your life

Live each day to the fullest

Enjoy the ride ~ of your entire life

Pieces of a moment

Pieces of a moment

Become an hour,

… Creates a day

A week passes way too quickly

Into a year ~ another birthday

As you meet each day with purpose

Make every moment count

Fill each day with meaning

Complete your life ~ inside and out

Each minute becomes an hour

Life’s ever changing seasons

Remind us of every reason

To value each moment given

For every blessing sent from heaven

Each minute becomes an hour

Each day passes way too soon

Life’s ever changing seasons

Capture the beauty of every moon

Every sunset creates a promise

Every flower of fragrant design

Smiles in the shadow of the moonlight

Embracing each moment you define

We raise a glass

We raise a glass of wine with you

To toast this special day

To wish you peace and happiness

Each and every day

May sunshine spread its warmth in you

To cover the path of your tomorrows

Blessings throughout the year ahead

And many good things to follow

Yesterday’s moments

Yesterday’s moments
Are today’s memories
Filled with tomorrows dreams
Time to reflect on your yesterdays
To appreciate all that they mean
Your past was the journey that shaped you,
That molded who you are
Your future is engraved before you
Etched in the soul of your heart
May today sing you a melody
To enjoy and reflect in with a smile
Live your life to the fullest
Celebrate your special day in style

What if

What if you were to touch me……
Beyond the realms of what we know?
What if your lips were to kiss mine
In a deep passionate glow?
Would the world stand still and be captured
By the energy, we felt within.
Would the earth give way below us?
Would we hear sweet violins?
Or would we feel a warm sensation?
And a smile in a beautiful heart?
What if you were to touch me…..
What if you touched my heart?

Unique friendship

Our friendship is a unique blend
of honesty and truth
fuelled with an understanding
that only you and I hold dear
Where laughter comes from nowhere
~ no need to tell me why
Where our connection is between the two of us
And cannot be totally described
For it’s what is felt between us
That governs the root of our hearts
Distinguished by what lies within us
As a value of who we are
You are to me so special-

 beyond all and any measure                                                                                                                The meaning of truth in friendship

A gift I hold ~ beloved & treasured

Time escapes to nowhere

Time escapes to nowhere
Leaving footprints in the sand
Embedded in the path that leads us
Weaved into God’s plans
Only few are distinguished in friendship
Where trust is an open book
Where acceptance is a simple quality
You and I know ~ with just one look
Our path crossed many yesterdays behind us
As years of friendship we’ve engraved
I’m blessed to be part of your journey
To share moments of memories made

Lost in emptiness

Lost in the shadows of emptiness
Suspended in time’s dark cloud
Swallowed inside her darkness
In silence, screaming loud
Numb from the aches that pain her
Distant from the night that sleeps
Drifting through each moment
All her yesterdays make her weak
The dullness throbs her memory
As she wakes from another dark dream
Stumbling through nightmare’s reality
This crippling disease, so extreme.
Unsure of the day that wakes her
Unaware of her last words
She reaches to grasp her existence
To be seen – to be heard.
Such an unbearable torture
Feeling so utterly misplaced
Feeling no longer her identity –
From inside her beautiful face.

Through her window of existance

Existing through the hours of memories
Your mind wonders of the distant past
You remember moments filled with laughter
And some where hanging shadows cast
Each day, a day without meaning
Each night runs into the next
Each moment a dream of yesterday
Your tomorrows somewhat perplexed
Your window opens the sunlight
Giving hope for a different view
The glass reflects an image
A black and white colorful hue
And as your days and nights flow gently
And your memories meet the sky
Be reminded of all the love you have
All the love between you and I

The soft fragrance of morning

The soft fragrance of morning
Speaks through the opening in the drape
The sunlight smiles another blessing
To color my mood’s landscape.
Drenched in the warmth and comfort
The morning glow uncovers the dawn
Speckled with mist and perfection
On the green blades of grass on the lawn.
And as the day peeks through in beauty
Closing the skies of darkness once more
The window of my world refreshes
Another chapter, another open door

A woman's journey

As you journey through life’s phases

~ through the pages
of your time
As you reveal, or conceal
the many facets of life’s rhyme
Truth to oneself ~ your inner wealth
builds the pride within your soul
So dignified,
~ magnified
Strong, beautiful, and bold.
You are who you are
~ like no other
A sister, friend,
woman ~ and mother
Defined in rare beauty
~love and integrity,
True splendor within you
Colors all your beauty

Drizzled sunlight

As the sunlight drizzles the edge of the evening sky
And the silent breeze whispers to the emptiness inside
I taste the tears that melt my dreams in the middle of the night
I feel the wind now howling, as the clouds chase the sunlight
Drifting through each moment ~ wondering why, oh why
Swallowed in heavy sorrow ~ drowning inside
Paralyzed with numbness of a cold and empty space
My tears give way to heartache, as I float in another place
Drenched in this shadow of darkness, inside a hollow wall of gloom
I am falling through the sky, floating in the room
As my heart remembers yesterday, and you’re no longer here
The sunlight drizzles once more, to mingle with my tears. 

Love is

Love is such an eternal depth,
a quiet recognition
evolving into a beautiful place
~ and realizing you.
Love is continued appreciation
of one another
Sharing the depths
of honesty and truth.
It’s having pure faith
and putting his feelings first
It’s caring so deeply
for her heart,
for his soul
in unconditional trust
~ In an honest desire
to enhance each other’s lives
to bring out the best
in one another.
Love is entwining souls and bodies
as one
With each other….Forever.

Sunset

As the sun sets on another beautiful day
And the sky rearranges its colors
I watch in awesome wonder
As the day folds into another
Time escapes to nowhere
A minute becomes an hour too soon,
Evolving into days so quickly
Another sunset afternoon
Dissolved in all my yesterdays
Inside every sunset and sunrise
~ Another living memory
Another blessing of being alive

Since before you came

I have loved you since before you came

Before I gave you the gift of life

So many treasured memories

That I cherish every minute of life

Where have all the years gone to?

Since a baby in my arms you lay

You made my life so worthwhile

So many memories will always stay

You will always be my " baby"

You live inside my heart

Thanks you for blessing me - My child

I love you - with all my heart

Inside her womb

Inside the comfort of her mother’s womb

Nestled in silent peace

Dancing to the rhythm of mummy's breath

Singing to the sounds of her heartbeat

More precious than life itself

Is the wonder of a child to be born

A gift from heaven ~ Gods miracle
