365 Day #6

Tranquility

I lay in a hammock today
A hammock by the lake
And stared through the bare branches of a pine
At the clear, blue and gray sky above
The only sounds were of the wind
And an occasional bird
Calling to his friends
And in the distance
The calming clinging of a wind chime
A sweet, random melody
Carried on the breeze
Such peace and tranquility
God's beauty and splendor
If only life were this peaceful
If this day was the norm
And chaos the rarity
As I suppose it is in Heaven
Peacefulness every second
I closed my eyes
And imagined it.

365 Day #5

Close 2nd

April showers

Smells like flowers

Prays to God to give her powers

God says nope

But He liked her soap

So He gave her hot water that lasted for hours.

365 Day #4

Masterpiece

The morning sun rises
Painting the sky
Pinks and golds
Beauty up above
God's own masterpiece
We live in His portrait
A new design every day
How He must love us
To share with us so

365 Day #3

Joyful, Joyful

Joyful, joyful

Oh, how we adore Thee

Is it adore or ignore?

I can’t recall… sorry

But which do I do more

Oh, look what’s on the TV!

Ok, back to what I was saying

Oh, I got a text… hold please

Now, what were we talking about?

Oh, that’s right… we were singing

Joyful, joyful

Oh, how we ignore Thee!

Is it ignore or adore

I can’t recall

Sorry.

365 Day #2

Oh Happy Day

Laughing, laughing
Full of life
Sighing, Crying
Enter strife
Dying, dying
Sharp the knife
Laughing, flying
The Lamb's wife.

365 Day #1

Full Circle of a Daydream

A bird lands on a tree outside my office window
Turning, turning, trying to find the last berry on the tree
I wonder if there are babies in a nest somewhere
Chirping and bobbing up and down, mouths never closing
I want to yell through the window at the bird
"It's there, on the branch below you. Turn around!"
But I know the sound would only scare it away
If only I were Snow White, or better yet Aurora
Although I'd like to skip the part when she's asleep
A castle, a prince, beautiful face and voice
I'd sing all day long if I sounded like her
Dancing with the animals through the forest
Skipping and twirling, not a care in the world
Not worrying about the witch because she's dead
Dead like those poor baby birds will be
If they aren't fed soon, chirping and bobbing
Mama bird's just sitting there on the branch
Is that a frown on her beak, a tear in her eye
In frustration and despair I stand up
The movement alarms her and she flies away
The lone berry waves at me in the wind
Ring, ring... break's over.

Random Poems

Hello there! So, I haven't written anything in a while, but I found some more old poems I wrote. So I figured I'd share them... : )

I Know
11/6/02

I know that he loves me
He constantly thinks of me
Wishing I was his
I know that he longs to touch me
Hold me in his arms
Make me feel safe and warm
I know that he dreams of me
Pictures us married
Envisions our life together
I know that he honors our love
Remains faithful
Defends my honor
I know that he loves me
I just wish he knew it too

Realizations of a 21-year-old
11/19/02

When am I going to grow up
When am I going to realize
That procrastination is not the key
That staying up all night
Does not agree with getting up
Early the next morning
When am I going to realize
That the world doesn't revolve
Around boys
That things aren't going to get done
Until I take the time to do them
When am I going to realize
That extra money won't appear
When I blow my paycheck
On things I could have done without
That my house won't clean itself
When am I going to realize
That the fun and games are over
That this is how life is

Why
12/4/02

He winked at me
Why would he do that
If he didn't like me
He smiled at me
Why would he do that
If he didn't adore me
He laughed with me
Why would he do that
If he didn't enjoy me
He looked at me
Why would he do that
If he didn't think of me
I loved him
Why would I do that
If he didn't love me too

Fairytale?
3/8/09

He laughed at me when I told him
That I thought I was a Princess
That my life was a fairytale
A Happily-Ever-After
He asked me if I was serious
And so I contemplated
I did believe it all
But why?
Was I the fairest of them all?
Would my song attract the birds?
Or squirrels? Or mice? Or men?
Had I found my Prince Charming?
The man that rescued me
From an evil spell?
Or a wicked stepmother?
Was our love like no other?
A tale that would touch the hearts
Of those who heard of it years from now?
I pondered and I frowned
My life had been a fairytale
Until my husband told me it wasn't.
