To get lost and hide in the wonder of a child’s mind
Where grass is an adventure
And joy is a door open wide
A bug we can stare at as time passes by
The simple becomes magical
When seen for the first time
I return to the place where the fields are profound
They hold so much life
Space to run around
Space to be found
It doesn’t take much
To light up their eyes
We remember the touch and our souls reignite
We recollect, detect
Delight in the simplicity of a child’s mind
Mystery’s rush before take off.
——-
Moving quickly.
Security forged by pressing into grounds stability.
Challenging anxiety, in hopes that wind is willing.
To catch.
Where boarders are infinite.
And edges are barricades.
A paradox of weightless fury arises.
As faith takes hold.
And trusts sound billows.
Louder than the fears that are falling.
Finding self.
Surrendered, in relief.
And when looking back,
were our eyes open or closed?
———
To soar, to fly
Circle the world so high
I become weightless and glide
Free my thoughts
Free my mind
I want to feel peace
Surrounding me this time
It’s good to feel small
To feel weightless in it all
Supported by the wind
Dancing with the sun
Roaming free, uncharted
We become one
Relief fill my soul
I take it in
Hey Cow,
How did you manage to get all the way up here?
These cliffs are high and the water is deep.
Your four hooves found quite the scene.
I see you enjoying your fancy feast
In these mountains the grass must be delightful to eat.
As I sit by the creekside,
I enjoy the sound of your bell.
You shepherds must know where you are quite well.
I can hear in the distance the sound of your friends,
How often do you come up here?
Will you go back down again?
Or is this home?
And I’m the one walking through?
It a beautiful place.
I really love the view.
Is this something that has become normal for you?
POSTED
What you bring to a room.
The care in your eyes
Fields of gold.
Like the warmth of the sunrise.
A comforting touch.
Promises to last a lifetime.
For the long haul.
Fields of gold.
Warmth of the sun.
Comforting touch of a loved one.
Like the break of sunrise.
What you bring to a room.
The care in your eyes.
Smiles light up faces.
Promises lasting a lifetime.
Always by your side.
For the long haul.
Whatever may come.
I bless this love.
You both chose a really good one.
The waters wash over me
Unknown of what is in their deep
Holding adventure
The sun beaconing for a chase
Until morning
The waters they roll deep
Beaconing the adventure in me
The dawn is breaking as the tide rolls in
Filling the tank
Catch me outside
Riding the wind and the waves
Laughing with friends
Thankful for the plans we made
We feast ‘till our stomachs are full
Watch the sun set
And take a dip
Hope its not to cool
Music that blasts
As we glide across the water
We smile, this is not pretend
Surrounded in company
This is not the end
But the threshold of many good stories.
Colors so vibrant
I sit and take them all in
A resting place in a landscape
It has become a dear friend
The sound of the waves
The birds on the shore
The laughter in the day
Then the evenings final roar
How did you think to make this so unique
Every evening a beautiful tapestry
It covers me again
The extravagance of your love
You are a faithful friend
I am surrounded and undone
Kindness in her gaze
Warmth in her touch
Soon to be mother
Not in a rush
How your world will change
In a single day
The miles you will go
To love in the best way
As your body expands
Your heart does too
Making space within
For this child you grew
Long days
Resting
Thankful for home
To be
Life gets busy
To sit and still
Let the sediment settle
Soul calm, it will
Rush and worry
Lose their power
Giving into the slow
Relief settles
Hour by hour
Hushing the chaos
Peace in my mind
I wake to
Stillness
Sitting
In quiet company
Settling in
Receive
We all need a little (loving?)
Long days
Resting with friends
Thankful to have home
A place to be in
When life gets busy
To sit and be still
Let the sediment settle
My soul calm, it will
The rush and the worry
Lose their power within
As I give into the slow
And settling again
Hour by hour
A hush to the chaos
A peace to my mind
I awake to stillness, that isn’t hard to find
To sit with a friend
In quiet company
We are
Settling in
We all need a little loving
Winding roads that run out of sight
Canyons and rivers
Mountains stretching high
I feel the expanse in my lungs
As I breathe in the air
The sun shines on my face
As we listen and stare
This world is marvelous
A grand sight to see
Take time to travel
And get caught in the mystery
Caught
Warms the heart.
Like clouds floating within.
For a moment.
Gaze is clear.
Lightening in an open field
One drop of rain hitting skin
Thunder rumbles deep.
Caught.
Locked in love
I held you
Then you caught me
————
Drifting into imagination
Once alone and now there are two
Oh the adventures that you’ll go on
The mountains you’ll scale
The rivers you’ll run
The forts your will build
To make home and have fun (how your heart and love will expand little one)
Once space for one
Now has become two
A friend for a lifetime
A gift from God to you
Stack and steps
Pure white to the top
A little dirt on the sides in some blocks
Time will tell
What you can hold
Your beautiful to look at
It’s stunning to watch you grow
The calm on the shore.
The depths of the sea.
What are the waves that are turning inside of me?
Will I stay with my feet in the sand?
Will I walk closer?
Will I dive in?
Safety first
That’s what they always say
The trust of a child
The willingness to obey
A look with openness
To know what is next
Do I need to put this life jacket on my chest?
That’s a question for the parent
Standing close with a loving embrace
To take care of their loved one
One that they want to stay
He is so close to their heart
The one they have made
And will protects at all costs
Every single day
So in the midst of bright white
The color I see
Is the protection of a loving family
Peace, serenity.
These are the colors I see
God, how did you create a world
With so much mystery
The way colors that form
The way the stars shine bright
How big the earth is
You always light up the night
When I sit way up here
I begin to dream
I get lost in space
All the full, colorful space I see
What if color held something for us to partake
An emotion, a feeling, an appetite for a break.
Something to feast on
Every time we look at a beautiful landscape.
Color your world
With vibrancy and light
With emotion and depth
All day and all night.
It’s a house on wheels
A place to live
It could hold a stove, a bed, and a family with kids
Stocked up and ready
Always down for the ride
Roaming the streets
Finding what’s on the other side.
There is life in hard places
The crevices and the cracks
There is water dripping down
There is no lack
There is beauty springing forth
It’s popping up all around
There is life in hard places
A miracle, we can see now
Have you touched the ground?
Do you know what weight feels like?
Are you ready to move around?
Experience outside?
—————-
Grass between your toes.
Dirt under your nails.
Grime and sweat.
One day, you will know them well.
Time will give you it’s gift.
No calluses yet.
Try and keep your softness.
I believe, you will.
——————-
To roam.
To move free.
To not be confined in the little things.
I see the expanse that is before me.
Yellow walls
You hold so much life's
It’s spilling over
Your brimming with delight
Yellow walls
When the sun comes
Do reach for its touch?
Growing taller and taller
Is it refreshing when the winds gusts?
Yellow walls
Are you tried?
From holding so much
Your strong, a protector
Holding beauty
Morning, evening and at dusk
Yellow walls
I see you.
You are hard to miss with the eye.
You embrace your beauty and don’t hide.
Thank you.
Crowned in beauty
Resting in peace
A fierce woman full of mystery
Eyes full of dreams
Gentle in touch
Strong will to live
Covered in being enough
No need to perform
Resting in truth
Love, she can always find herself leaning into
