Birthday Wishes

So it's October now. The sun still holds some warmth, and the colors are beginning to turn. Lovely time of year.

This week's offering is a birthday poem I wrote for my sweetie. It may not be polished - but it is heartfelt. ("Creative grammar" has been applied, in order to meet the 8 sentence guideline.)


The day you were born,
The world became brighter-
The sparkle of your inner joy
Lights my world.
Let's melt and flow,
And I don't mean like Rocky Road-
You are the butter to my popcorn,
That gives it zest and flavor-
The shade to my lamp,
That tempers the light and sets the mood.
The sound of our unbridled laughter, rushes forth with pure delight-
The look in your eyes - that look,
And the world melts away-
Nestled in your arms, I am safe from harm - for a little while.
The me reflected in your eyes,
Is me-
And that is joy. Freedom. And well-being.
So Happy Birthday to you, my love.
May your kindness and goodness continue to light your way, now and for years to come.

Beautiful Autumn Day

My writings have several themes: newness, freedom, growth. Love. Grief. And they usually tumble forth in a heap, in several minutes.

Here's this week's offering:


Your soul has a fringe.
I run my finger alongside
And I fluff it gently,
Like a velvety decorator pillow.
Today it's red with bold uninhibited love.
Passion.
Most days it's a bright happy color.
The color of your smile.
I lay my head on your soul.
Sometimes to rest,
Sometimes to sing
Always to be met with warmth,
And comfort.

Thoughts for a Friday

It's a glorious warm fall day here. And Friday as well! The word of the day is "Flow".

Flow

This is new

This lightness

Going with the grain

It's airy here

The yoke has been lifted

No longer clenched,

Nor closed and poised to defend. 

My head sets just a little higher

I look out a little straighter 

All I did

Was ask

And be ready and open 

It is true joy

To not be so afraid 

To be

Me. 

Here's a great site -Weekend Writing Warriors.

First Post

Well, you gotta start somewhere. 

So this is my first post. Word of the day is "noble."

“A conviction of self-worth and passion for ideals fuse in a life attitude that is positive, free, noble and spiritually enhancing.”

~ Bill Jay

There you have it.
