Sailing in a Storm

Photo by Matheus Guimaru00e3es on Pexels.com

A sailboat dead in the water

the yard was broken

storm clouds rapidly approaching

was this an omen

A stoic sailor is at the helm

quickly grabbing the sail

sanguine about the repair

praying it will go well

Rain begins to fall

there is thunder and lightening

the boat rocks back and forth

the passenger is frightened

The sailor works quickly

makes the repair

quickly heading toward the coast

taking great care

The storm calms

the sailor and passenger are safe

thankful for safe harbor

and God’s grace

Spring is in the Air

Photo by Oleg Magni on Pexels.com

Blossoms shoot forth

an introduction to spring

the moratorium to awaken has ended

the birds begin to sing

Warmth embracing the land

wildlife ending its slumber

a time of renewal

flowers increasing in number

The streams begin to flow

meager at first

the sun melting the ice

water beginning to burst

A forest filled with trees

pastel colors abound

small promises of fruit

beauty all around

The sky is blue

not a cloud to be seen

nothing is awry

the sun is beaming

The world is awake

spring has arrived

my soul jumps for joy

happy to be alive

A Spring Shower

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

The spring shower

casting raindrops on a leaf

serendipity for the surrounding life

giving much needed relief

Repeating patterns

contrary to the ice

a piece of art

actually quite nice

The fallout

causes life to grow

trees, grass, and flowers

create a summer glow

The spring shower is over

rain drops continue their cascade

some create a waterfall

a new stream is made

Repeating rain patterns

working together

the land is bountiful

what could be better

The Pier

Photo by Simon Migaj on Pexels.com

In a secluded place

I have found my retreat

on this pier

water on my feet

In the brevity of the day

contemplating my thoughts

away from the world

what lessons are taught

Dangling my pole

out of the water jumps a fish

making a perfect circle

I make a wish

A theme for life

how much fun it would be

if there was a plan

specifically for me

Surrounded by the mountains

each day carries new life

a unique adventure

sometimes filled with strife

Things planned out

that would be so easy

nothing would go wrong

never a thought of being crazy

But for me

that would not be fun

must feel the soil

freedom to run

Excitement each day

a new adventure to happen

joy in my heart

each day a new passion

Picking up my pole

turning to leave

fish continue to jump in the water

I can finally breathe

Living in Harmony

Photo by Enric Cruz Lu00f3pez on Pexels.com

Exploring the trail

a scientific adventure

wanting to know more

there will be no censure

Examining the trees

such beautiful bark

the backbone of the forest

the contrast is stark

Farther down

looking at life in the river

fish everywhere

a snake begins to slither

Now seeing wild life

deer and squirrels

playing delightfully

running in circles

Food abound

acorns everywhere

a winter food drive

before the trees are bare

Loving the ecosystem

amazed at its sufficiency

such a wonder

like a symphony

All is interwoven

a mutual dependency

all things have a purpose

nothing works separately

Walking home

a smile on my face

having learned so much

about how the forest is interlaced

Morning Field Meditation

Photo by Maria Orlova on Pexels.com

The sun beams brightly

over the horizon

sparkling dew on the blooms

the purity surprising

On this cheery morning

the warmth feels like a hug

birds singing loudly

joined by some bugs

As luck would have it

a family of deer appear

silhouetted in the shadows

till they disappear

The dew on the flowers

sparkle in the sun

creating a magical path

a fun place to run

Cascading down

following a stream

image is a mirror

a pleasant dream

Meditation over

hiking to the next place

marveling at the wonder

as the sun covers my face

The Camp Fire

Post author By pipersadventures9
Post date February 12, 2021

Beauty in the fire

blazing colors in the night

a crackling sound

embers dancing with delight

Providing warmth

a circle to speak a tale

all around are intrigued

the story is told well

Crackers, marshmallows and chocolate

melting on a stick

sweet dessert

delightful and quick

Gazing at the stars

lighting up the night

dreaming of distance places

the journey is bright

Lulled to sleep

serenaded by the wind

crickets sing a lullaby

a pleasant days end

The sun rises

it is a new day

the journey continues

as we go our separate ways

Out of the ashes

new life emerges

Winter Scene

The image below is from aw-landscapes at DeviantArt.com.

Animals and wildlife sleep

while snow covers the trees

branches filled with ice

instead of leaves

The wind is biting

trees on the brink of destruction

will the forest survive

this brutal obstruction

Wind dies down

the assault has ceased

a winter wonderland created

there is an internal peace

Like columns of old

the trees form a design

an illusion of sanctuary

or perhaps a shrine

The day becomes night

there is light from the moon

an eerie quiet

fills the created room

The scene continues

till time for spring

when new life appears

and winter becomes a dream

Victory on a Wave

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

In a fictitious universe

I am soaring confidently on the waves

one with the ocean

my spirit will not cave

Rising higher

with a cathartic laugh

dolphins dancing with me

movements are choreographed

Speed is increasing

super powers enhanced

the universe is mine

controlling all in the dance

Sliding into the beach

raising my arms in victory

defeating all fears

power now in my history

Walking toward the ocean

to do it all again

surfing is exhilerating

every wave is a win

The sun is setting

time to go home

grateful for the experience

and the time alone

The Dive

Photo by Daniel Torobekov on Pexels.com

Tiptoeing on the ocean floor

surrounded by gloomy thoughts

knowing at any given time

my journey will be for naught

In the constant darkness

ocean pressure blocks my way

what was I thinking

leaving the light of day

A wonderous world

filled with strange creatures

some with colors

others with unique features

Turning on a light

exploring some coral

schools of fish swim by

the experience visual and aural

Moving along

a dolphin wants to play

swimming along with him

then moving along my way

Rising to the surface

the sun is shining bright

leaving the dark wonderous world

basking in the light

Riding a wave

on my way home

worlds joined together

never alone

Two different worlds

all enjoying life

each filled with unique creatures

living in harmony and not strife
