When time stood still
Wind still whistled through the pines
Clouds floated through the sky
And the scent of lilac wafted in the air
When time stood still
Rivers flowed within confines
Baby birds learned to fly
And I still cared
When time stood still
All the things life defines
Continued to bloom, continued to die;
Above all, love dared
Flowers in her hair
She swims rainbows of the deep
With purpose and flair
For she glides with grace
Waves of memories to keep
Along her life’s race
When the climb seems hard
keep breathing and don’t look back
the view will soon change
Neither of us speak
I see you and you see me
We watch in silence
Destiny awaits
just beyond the ocean waves
beneath shining sun.
How can time stand still
when worlds await to be explored
and your soul beckons?
Unmoving we are,
shadows shift, waters glisten
beneath shining sun
Be still, friend of life,
feel the wind, hear the river
softly calling you
Tumbling like a glass off the edge of a table,
Spilling, spilling, spilling
No thunder rolls, no lightening flashes
No warning of tears that pour like rain
Wetting the skin, soaking the soul
Drilling, drilling, drilling
Through flesh and bone to the core of the heart,
Releasing silence into gasps and groans
Until breath comes once again
Dripping, dripping, dripping
Washing away all that is not you
As you learn to drink your own tears
Watering the seed ready to bloom within your soul
Glistening, glistening, glistening
Sun is breaking through the clouds
Tears you’ve wiped become diamonds in your hand
Listening, listening, listening
You feel a tug and hear the words within
It is your voice…speak!
***I apologize if you saw this on my other blog a few days ago…I meant to post it on this blog but set the wrong one!
Painting hearts in skies
where colors and life collide
and the best shines through
Sunsets of our lives
reflect upon the waters
where goodness resides
Take this day as yours
Breathe deeply, enjoy this time
Life is for living
Struck by the beauty
and the power of nature,
we bask in wonder.
