Sometimes
I️ forget who I️ am
And someone
Convinces me
I️ can settle down
But the truth is
God created me to roam
And mostly
I️ am satisfied
With a suitcase
Instead of a home
Some think
It makes for me
A lonely life
But the truth is
I️ have often
Felt my loneliest
When I️ had the title
Of wife

One carerless comment
Two wounded hearts
One Romance ended
Two lonely souls
One moment in time
Two lives untwined

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.
