Oh to live off the grid in the woods

You have no idea how quickly I could

Say goodbye to the fast pace

Unplug and give up the rat race

Hello old friend,

I’ve come to walk with you again,

To feel your waves caress my toes,

As your gentle breeze erases my woes,

Irma gave us a brief interruption,

But she left you uncorrupted,

I am so pleased to see,

as you beckon lovingly to me

I see the outline of a heart in this leaf. A sign of love from the universe to me. Held in place against the waves by sand and a tiny stone. Coincidence? No. A moment sooner or one more past, the heart shaped leaf would not hold fast. At just the right moment, just the right time, it was placed securely for me to find❤️

Destination unknown

My how time has flown

So many plans when I was younger

Filled with passionate hunger

Time passed

Days turned to decades

Plans changed

Some passion remained

The road goes on and on

No end in sight

Until one day you realize

It could end at any time

I have loved

I have lost

I have laughed

I have cried

Learned lessons

Received wonderful blessings

Sometimes I wonder

I truly pause and ponder

What might have happened

If caution to the wind I had thrown

Grabbed a backpack and set off to

Destination unknown

On this day celebrating love,

spread love wherever you go.

It’s simple to do

and costs nothing to you.

It could brighten one persons day

in some easy way.

Give a smile, a hug, nod of your head, word of encouragement,

a positive thought, a kind gesture,

these impact without measurement.

As you are reading this poem

I am sending you love

wrapped in a prayer for

blessings from above.

Ponder this:

What if

The Creator of all the stars,

And the universe,

And the chaos that is us,

Created you because

He knew

The universe needs one of you?

What if

The Creator of all things

Came to earth

And sacrificed Himself

Because He knew heaven

needs one of you too?

What if it’s real,

His love for you?

What if all you have to do

is accept His love for you?

What if it’s real,

His love for you,

And you refuse to accept it?

Ponder that…

No coward soul is mine

As I face this life

Filled with pleasure

Filled with strife

Daily sharpening my arrows

Taking up my bow

With a steady aim

Preparing to fight my foes

Some are easy to spot

Others most certainly are not

And with one tender kiss,

Unexpected, unplanned, unmistakably

He wrapped his love around her heart

And neither of them would ever be the same again.

When it snows I go for a walk

Down the road we traveled on

Memories float through my mind

Unique as the snowflakes in the air

You were my warmth

My heart is always cold now

I stand and watch

Listening

Hoping beyond hope

I will hear your truck

See your handsome smiling face

Feel your warm embrace

I stand and watch

And listen

Only the soft sound

Of snow touching the ground

I dash to the left

And then to the right

Here comes a bare foot

Now a tennis shoe

I try to be still

And hide in the shells

But that doesn’t work

The birds swoop in

Their bellies to fill

I dash to the left

And then to the right
