write to me

untitled

he knew a path that wanted walking;
he knew a spring that wanted drinking;
a thought that wanted further thinking.

  2. quietly...snuggled deep within itself;
    patiently waiting for it's time.
    new life forming at it's center;
    new beauty to be unwrapped.
    from afar i see the light;
    the chill turned to warmth.
    it's time has come.
    slowly and fully she arrives;
    splendor and majesty awaken.
    welcome...we've been waiting for you.

    (sorry, no Frost...but it's what I felt) : )
    Thanks for the inspirational picture, Georgia!
    Have a beautiful day, friends!

  3. A wisp of your soul, your broken petal
    Clinging to the knowledge of dreaming and hope
    Growing in strength like a twinkling, strong, yet gentle metal.

    Carried away by the breeze and warming
    Of the endearing and glowing sun
    Waiting for your love and desire,
    to connect in your root as one.

    Blooming, awakening, refreshing your growing soul!
    Hanging onto the rays of beauty
    Yearning to teach and share
    And simply know….

  5. shades of white
    unfold their beauty
    gently,
    upon petals
    dappled,
    in sun's light
    fluttering,
    in spring breezes

    no frost here, but words that just came to me.

  6. silence. not golden, but fragile, opaque, luminous.
    a girl, the same, except for her strength.
    no fallen petals here, just a beautiful sanctuary, fragrant.

    for georgia, as sweet as her photos.
    from Kelly (the blue muse and also mrs mediocrity)

  9. a bud.
    driving rain and gentle shower.
    scorching heat and quiet breeze.
    now a flower.

    a flower.
    in driving rain and scorching heat.
    petals meant to touch its world.
    dazzling beauty, fragrance sweet.
    now a blessing.

    a child. a bud.
    now a woman.
    now a flower.
    now what, Lord?

    Strangely, my verse for today has been: "But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing."

    It is what I desire for my life.

  10. It takes a certain courage

    to turn your face to the sun

    to open a wounded heart

    and to expect a blessing

    but you will find Him waiting

    with outstretched arms full of love.

  11. a haiku for my friend g:

    welcome bright spring with
    velvety soft white petals,
    sunlit, kissed with dew

    love,
    Heather
