Fog and Gloom

Fog and gloom may foretell doom,
but in your heart when the dark thoughts loom,
you can open up room.

Let your inner light glow,
then the world is a garden for you to sow.

Across the morning sky

 

Across the morning sky, 

a balloon was drifting by. 

Gliding, without a care, 

the sight was beyond compare. 

Oh how would it be, 

if life felt as free. 

STU Oct,2010 

Birds fly,
Leaves fall,
Water flows,
Black berries grow

Who guards the heavens?

Who guards the heavens?

Tis the moon with her fresh glow.
Tis the sun high and bright.
With these guardians we doth know.
Ever will it be all right!

Papa

I watch, as you go.

You walk out the door,
You go to the big world out there.
It is a mystery, it makes my mind soar.

Mommy cares for me,
Day by day.
We long for you,
While your away.

Take me with you Daddy,
I want to see what you see.
Let me be with you Dad,
So I can learn how to be.

You are my link
to the world out there,
I am safe,
without a care.

I long to investigate,
I long to explore.
Teach me Papa,
Let me see what is in store.

Father, you are my teacher,
you complete my team.
You help me build knowledge,
as I build esteem.

In her eyes

I gazed at the groom, standing resplendent in the front of the room, a crisp tuxedo and a smile that belied his nervous joy.  I did not have to cue into the music or turn to see that the bride had just come into view, his entire body relaxed, and a look came over him.

As I turned my gaze to the back of the room it was not her dress that I saw first, a beautiful white gown that glowed in the dimly lit room, rather it was her eyes.  She was not just looking ahead, she was locked in a deep connection with the groom all the way down the isle.  I was in the second row, of at least a dozen,  yet I could see the deep love pouring out across the room.  I followed what seemed to be a ripple in the air, followed her gaze until my eyes connected with the groom waiting there with the same gaze back to his bride. 

Congratulations, may your love deepen over the years, though it is clear you already have so much.

Silence

He awoke in the morning,

all were asleep.

Hush don’t wake them,

don’t make a peep.

 

Slip out slowly,

don’t make a sound.

Be sure to be silent,

till no ones around.

 

Should they hear you,

find a place to hide.

For sure don’t let them find you,

there are none on your side.

 

From inside your hamper,

don’t even breathe.

For if they hear,

they will surely seethe.

 

On your self you must rely,

for sure on no other.

Not on a sibling,

a father, or mother
