When one bases joy in fickleness fleeting,
Fleeting will be ones joy.
When one walks in joy of all,
All will be ones joy.
When one bases joy in fickleness fleeting,
Fleeting will be ones joy.
When one walks in joy of all,
All will be ones joy.
One of
Our greatest fears is admitting accountability;
For then we must see our words and actions
Do make a difference in this world.
Each of us contribute to both the pain and joy.
Until we face ourselves and change our awareness of our own selves,
Reactions of heart and mind,
We allow ourselves to be merely pawns.
The trees before me
Wave an acknowledging hello
As the wind escorts the clouds
All blue and gray
Over the mountain peak.
And unexpected joy
Seeps into my skin as
A deer wanders near my seat and stops to stare.
An ant wanders onto my foot.
I know he is lost
For I have nothing to
Offer him.
Back to the dirt he returns.
Yesterday.
What’s done is done.
This moment,
What is yet to come.
My mind keeps
Digging,
Burying
And wondering.
Remembering,
Creating
And forgetting.
Let sleep come none to soon
And carry me to dreamland
Where no one
Restrains these
Thoughts.
These imaginings and reminiscings in
Sweet, vivid colors
As I dance through fallen
And falling leaves in the deep
Magical forest.
Snowflake flurries.
My amusement and joy magnified
In kaleidoscopic colors and melodies.
Peaceful
Joy.
Peaceful breaths.
Cold.
Winter time on the
Playground.
The
Metal bars hurt my bare skin
But I would keep playing.
Keep swinging, moving.
Laughing out loud just to see
The mist appear from my lungs.
It was like magic.
Forgetting my fingers were now numb.
Because the joy overrode
The hurt.
Life.
Sometimes
I cry tears of joy
When i hear
People
Laughing.
They do not know the beauty
Of their own
Song.
October sky.
i see the air as the breath
leaves my lips.
tree roots set themselves
deep and steady
ready for the chill to come.
branches reaching
to reassure one another.
inside lifeforce welcomes all stages of life,
happy to greet wind and rain
snowfall and sunlight.
living to live
and bring great joy
to earth and sky.
i touch the tree and know,
i
know we are not so
different and i am thankful.
Pardon me while I hold on to
You selfishly from time to time
My child.
For you are part of me.
Infused in my
Bones
And heart,
My being.
Peace settles me completely
When in my arms you sleep.
And supreme joy engulfs me
When your hand in mine
You keep.
Eternally
My heart exceeds mortal capacity
As
I watch you soar.
And always here I am with
A heart of flame if ever you need more
Kindling to begin again
A fire of your own.
Always
Always
A constant abode.
Time.
You cannot speed it up when you feel
Pain.
You cannot slow it down when you feel
Joy.
So let it go
And feel it all.
Dance to the music of your life with wild abandon.
Not once have I taken pause
To look back in regret
Those moments I put aside
A task at hand
To savor with complete enjoyment
My children;
To delight in all that they are.
They are the joy of my heart.
