Piper's Adventures
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Walking through the forest
contemplating heaven
sun filtering through the clouds
a beautiful intercession
A doorway appears
reflections in the light
past, present, and future
all within sight
In this perfect moment
love radiates from within
sending hugs and kisses
through the wind
The golden leaves fade
door is closed
time is reset
leaves decompose
Seasons change
fall to winter
soul rejoices
in nature’s splendor
copyright 2021 Debbie Pierce
Water flows
cleansing my soul
the blessings of the day
shimmer in the water hole
Encouragement from a new friend
over a cup of tea
answer to a prayer
sitting with me
Feeding the hungry
with a hot meal
listening to a story
life is quite real
Sitting with the sick
holding their hand
healing of the spirit
grace in command
Admiring the beauty
breathing clean air
gift of nature
reflections everywhere
Walking home
sparkles in my eyes
sun is shining
puffy clouds in the sky
Meditation over
spirit filled with glee
listening to the falls
grateful to be free
