Impressions In Life

in Poems about Spirituality

Her eyes glinted as sunlight played upon blades of grass.
Dew drops' faces reflected rainbows.
Expressions; like points of crystals
Reaching from deep within.

Her eyes glinted as sunlight played upon blades of grass.
Dew drops' faces reflected rainbows.
Expressions; like points of crystals
Reaching from deep within.

Her hair moved gently as breeze led the dance.
Dew drops let go of their delicate hold.
Like a tear's joyful journey washing away
Flowing from deep within.

She smiled as rainbows touched her heart.
Droplets let go of their delicate hold.
Like dew drops with faces;
Reflecting from deep within.

She blinked as if waking from a dream.
Ink flowed from her pen
Like a journey of beginnings in the palm of her hand.
Stories from deep within.

This story is really good it's like something is shooting for your heart but you just hit mine. It reminds me of my old home back at Fresno.

Crystal Stairs

Journey In Our Life

in Dream Poems

Crystal stairs, "Where will you lead,
offering steps in our time of need...
a luminous path from here it seems,
a crystal spiral of lucid dreams?"

Crystal stairs, "Where will you lead,
offering steps in our time of need...
a luminous path from here it seems,
a crystal spiral of lucid dreams?"

Unlike crystallized memories destined never to grow;
you call us toward a future beyond what we know.
Like footsteps heard faintly in one's ear.
A journey of remembering held so dear.

Beyond imagination in a forgotten land,
crystal climbers reach out with a loving hand.
Lifting our hearts like magic it seems,
this staircase of crystal truly is made of dreams.

I have been there and back . I have lost my mother, sister and brother. I still believe there is something left in me to share with the world.

Touched By Snow

Souls Connecting

in Snow Poems

A small girl on a frozen pond... skates in hand.
A small pond... trees near by... snow is falling.
A bench to put on her skates.
A twinkle in her eye.

A small girl on a frozen pond... skates in hand.
A small pond... trees near by... snow is falling.
A bench to put on her skates.
A twinkle in her eye.

Touched by the wind on her face.
Spinning... spinning... spinning.
Snowflakes are falling.
Together, a picture.

A young woman kneels near the ice.
Her eyes catch the eyes of a small girl there.
Spinning... spinning...
She feels the presence of eyes upon her.

An old woman sits on the bench.
Her thoughts drift...
Eyes twinkle behind closed lids.
Painting pictures in the snow.

A small girl arrives... she sits on an empty bench.
Snowflakes fall.
She looks over a frozen pond... trees nearby.
A gust of wind... snowflakes spinning.

Tall Pine
- Published: June 2008
in Spiritual Poems about Nature

Upon her crystal shores... waves of shimmering light.
Part of a larger symphony near water's edge.
Under a tall pine, a leaf gently spirals to the ground.
A small note...unheard by most. A piece of that song.

Upon her crystal shores... waves of shimmering light.
Part of a larger symphony near water's edge.
Under a tall pine, a leaf gently spirals to the ground.
A small note...unheard by most. A piece of that song.

A myriad of light from so far away...but really not so far.
A glimmer highlights the base of the tall pine.
Blending with the fallen leaf's song,
A neighbor's melody of change.

A different forest. A new time.
Within the sounds...a symphony.
Within the rhythm... a remembrance.
A note heard by those who choose to listen.

Touched by a myriad of lights.
Reflecting upon a small leaf.
Sounds blending under a tall pine.
Dancing around a tree...upon crystal shores.

The Grand Canyon
- Published: May 2008
in Beauty of Nature Poems

She picked up her brush and began to paint
Her pallet of earth sometimes was faint
The depth of scene was beyond reach of eye
Topped now and again by a turquoise sky

She picked up her brush and began to paint
Her pallet of earth sometimes was faint
The depth of scene was beyond reach of eye
Topped now and again by a turquoise sky

The colors of her painting began to run
At first a trickle... the torrent had begun
Upon her painting, eyes would struggle to look away
Her thoughts were of a landscape where hearts would play

Stepping back from the canvas, in her gaze it seems
The painting was beyond her wildest dreams
The sound of water echoed upon the wall
As she hung the painting in the great hall

She unveiled her canvas and offered it to him
Then footprints appeared on the edge of the rim
She knew they would come from the world around
Drawn by a painting... created in the ground
