Lights of Life

Photo by James Wheeler on Pexels.com

Lights in life

come in many forms

simple pleasures

a routine of norm

Other lights shine

through the people we meet

smiles and laughter

nods and waves we greet

Light shining through family

through thick and thin

heartache and joy

with us till the end

Light shining through adventure

in the world around

experiencing each moment

some are quite profound

Light shining through our souls

as an example to others

healing pain and suffering

we are all brothers

Meditation ends

past becomes the present

lights continue to form

life is incandescent

Privilege of a New Day

The sun shines

on my face

grateful for this day

filled with grace

The privilege of awakening

life to experience

adventure for the taking

fun and mysterious

Walking through trials

choosing faith instead of fear

bathed in love

God is near

Walking further

grateful for the trees

observing all the wonder

colors in the leaves

Meditation over

filled with gratitude

going through the day

with a positive attitude

Lending a Hand

A beautiful day

walking down the street

new bicycle by my side

a stranger to meet

Working at an outside market

beginning a new life

the stranger had been homeless

spirit filled with strife

A benefactor

helped him to buy the place

believing in the future

bringing a smile to his face

Smiling as I approached

leaving the bicycle by his side

a gift of transportation

a most pleasant ride

Tears in his eye

grateful for the gift

riding around

gave my spirit a lift

As time passes

the stranger helps others in need

spreading love and encouragement

an example to heed

A Fireside Evening

Photo by moein moradi on Pexels.com

Sitting in a chair

wrapped in a throw

drinking hot chocolate

listening as rain turns to snow

Fire crackling

reading a book

calm and comforting

in my nook

Poetry expressing feelings

every high and low

emotions are volatile

creating a flow

Feeling calm

comfortable in my space

alone in my thoughts

surrounded by grace

Crackling fire

sounds of snowfall

entering a sweet dream

able to fly through it all

Meditation over

now in a deep sleep

calm and serene

my soul to keep

Autumn in the Air

Photo by Matheus Bertelli on Pexels.com

Excitement in the air

as the pumpkin is lit

eyes begin to sparkle

emotions to emit

Trees dropping leaves

red, brown, and yellow

surrounding the pumpkin

a popular fellow

Walking down the streets

fun and scary costumes

collecting candy

such sweet fumes

Bright sparklers

illuminate the night

filled with colors

a festive sight

Autumn continues

tables filled with food

a bountiful harvest

so much to be viewed

Meditation over

so grateful to be alive

sitting by the fire

continuing to thrive

The Evil Clown

Photo by Shannon Gilbert on Pexels.com

A clown came up to me

while walking up the street

screaming in terror

scary fellow to meet

Transformed into evil

on Halloween night

purpose to capture souls

weakening with fright

Some were easy

filled with pain

refusing to heal

a great gain

Others filled with joy

impossible to capture

healing those around them

caught up in rapture

My spirit went into battle

transformed him with light

evil has been defeated

the clown’s future is now bright

Listening to the Rain

Photo by Ioana Motoc on Pexels.com

Candles lit

sitting with a cup of tea

listening to the rain fall

wind blowing through the trees

Heart rate slows

taking slow breaths

feeling my spirit grow

praying with depth

Spirit flying

filled with peace and light

all is well

spirit is bright

Light joins

with my mate

surrounded by love

feeling elate

Meditation ends

as the rain passes by

content and happy

a rainbow appears in the sky

Meditation of the Night

Rising each night

the moon lights up the sky

wonders and mysteries

candy for the eye

Surrounded by stars

beauty and peace

gifts from above

blessings increase

Sitting by a fire

watching the sky move

stars are sparkling

dancing to the groove

Planets appear

shining bright

wonder what is on them

following the light

A comet passes

tails with debris

how fun to ride it

exciting thought to me

Drifting off

cool breeze on my face

blanket to keep warm

cricket songs to embrace

Meditation over

feeling safe and secure

surrounded by serenity

my spirit is pure

Nightmare of Death

Photo by Adrien Olichon on Pexels.com

Nightmares haunted me

while in a deep sleep

fighting evil creatures

the hole is deep

Monopolizing the nightmare

is the fear of dying

is there life beyond

a purpose for trying

Grabbing a compass

which direction to run

morning is coming

east to the rising sun

A wraith appears

think it’s mother

pointing to the sky

beginning to smother

Grasping for breath

one final attempt

slaying all fears

my life is exempt

Becoming one with the light

surrounded by love

friends and family join with me

grace from above

Living in harmony

this world has no fear

peace and contentment

not one tear

Sun is rising

nightmares are gone

free to live

grateful for the dawn

City Window Inspiration

Haunted by doubt

holding a notebook of fears

praying for a better day

hoping inspiration is near

A window view

of the concrete city

spying a kenspeckle figure

body language quite witty

Glancing at the flowers

a thought came to mind

writing about the figure

including a creative design

Fear disappears

presentation quickly comes together

heavy spirit lifts

now light as a feather

Success comes

all doubts put away

smiling and grateful

inspiration came to stay
