Shining Thru

Hear the rumble in the distance….flashing across the horizon

As the wind begins to blow…a moist freshness in the air

You can smell the fresh scent of the rain drops that will soon be falling

Free falling down gently upon all of the awaiting visitors of earth

As the peacefulness sound of the calming nature all around you

The light rustling of the grass up against the quieting of the birds

As you feel the strength building as the storm sweeps across the land coming head on

You stare it down challenging it’s greatness and feeling the excitement

The strength and power overwhelm you as you become a pawn in the middle of the down pour

The black and gray above you swirls as the drops get heavy and splash down on you

The wind sweeps up to carry the drops from their original destination without question

Surround by a peaceful strength that leaves you amazed.

Swimming through an ocean of blurred images

Lost in a peaceful world of new exploration

Bright colors and softened images float by

Only seeing the surface reflection of the outside chaos

Staying in the surrounding warmth

Something so vast can feel so comforting as it encloses you

Welcoming you into the new world

Not being rushed or judged, simply accepted

The amazing feeling of unhindered relaxation

Continued exploration with no hurry to resurface

You stay in a world that welcomes you as you are

A walk through the woods not able to see through the leaves

Trying to see the sun and the light

Stuck int he shadows and darkness

Just enough light to play tricks on your eyes

Seeing things that are wondering around in the mist of fiction and storybooks

Reality catching up with you when you turn the corner

Enclosed in darkness once again just when you thought you had reached the clearing

Not even light to see your foot path

Just the specs in tree tops

Nothing reaching the bottom of the woods

Nothing reaching the path you so desperately want to see

Looking but not seeing where you are headed

Hoping you will recognize something soon.

Vines slowly creeping up

Time getting away from you

Time passes if you are ready or not

The flowers bloom and die

Coming again the next year round

Covering and taking over

Unit the exits are blocked

The beauty that has to be cut away for the escape

A torturous adventure having emotions torn in two

Going forward to go out, or being trapped by the beauty

Moving along inside the comfort of the walls

The flowers of the season

The light of the days

Quickly fading inside the beauty

That takes over from the outside

Quickly covering all in sight

Floating on the horizon

Not sure how to hit solid ground

Not sure if you want to

You float

Skimming the surface with tip toes

You look down amazed

The golden colors that shoot from around the sun

The brightness fills you with happiness

The clouds are forgotten and turned into trim

Accent on the beauty of the evening

As the daylight closes in,

You are drawn towards the meeting at the horizon

The meeting of the lights just before the dark

The worlds of sun and earth collide.

So much to take in and breathe.

Bridges you cross

Bridges you burn

Nobody knows where they lead

Can’t see the other side through the fog

The sunset is beautiful and distracting

The beautiful back drop of nature

Makes you forget the fall

The Unsuccessful crossing

The bridge in suspension

Above the sparkling waters

In front of the horizon

You stare at the silhouette

Wondering if you can use it

Wondering if you can cross

What if it falls behind you

Then you can only go forward

What if you find a hole and can’t get across

Trapped in the middle of indecision

Rising up above the rail and looking down

Wondering if it’s the only way out

Looking at the beauty of the sunset

And the calmness of the water

Not able to enter either side

Summer nights die down as the stars still shine bright

Bright and cold they look down as the nights cool off

No more celebration bomb fires of carefree summers

The cool autumn nights alerting us to the changing winds of winter

The natural stages of change that come with being alive

Every being must experience the different seasons of life

Time comes and goes, people love, and experience new things

All things pass through the seasons of life.

Whispering wind spill your secrets

Tell us what you know

Across the land the wind blows clean

Picking up a little something from everywhere

Everyone contributes as it passes through

The secrets that are gathered are breathed in the exhale

Listening out in the windstorm you hear the roaring of the powerful wind

Listening for a touch of the unknown

A breath of what lies beyond where you’ve gone

The wind free to travel and experience flows through the trees

Rustling breath moves the leaves and sharing the magic

The colors glisten in the sunshine

No sound in the stillness

No happy chimes of the gentle breeze

Still sitting beautiful

Outside as seasons change

The beauty stays but changes with the leaves

Gently falling in the autumn breeze

Musical chimes arise as the winds of change increase

Waiting for the perfect moment to make the change

A change that we all go through in life, one that defines us.

Fairy wings flutter by your head

You gasp at the beauty of the flowers all around

Green and peaceful

The bubbling of the stream flows by

Sanctuary…

The perfumes fill the nostrils

Colorful petals hidden in the vines

Green and alive, hidden away

Safe and Secure.

Feeling safe and at peace

Calmness fills the air as you escape

Hiding for a time from reality.
