The silence speaks when all is still
It touches hearts and moves the will
It carries strength and also light
The silence speaks from dusk to night
The aura speaks it soothes and sings
It shines on all and gently stings
It moves our senses and every bone
The aura speaks ..put down that phone
The thunder roars...it also speaks
It chooses hearts; it nobly seeks..
A mind uncluttered and unafraid
The thunder speaks of love displayed
The seasons taunt; they challenge us
To let alone all fraud and fuss
To cling most truly to what is real
The seasons ask us..to see ..to feel
The universe sings.she sings out loud
To passersby and noisy crowd
But no one listens.we're in a rush
The universe speaks..we're out of touch
The world's in need... she needs us all
To turn around, to hear the call:
The call of love... the call of care
The world is asking us ...be more aware..
Expecting now today.. a little bit of white
Will it be, that it comes in the morning or will it come at night?
Something about the snow that can make one really feel
Close to the One Whose love is Everlasting and for real
So I'll wait and gaze and watch the graying sky For that first sprinklet of snow that'll drop on down from up high And when that first crystal blanket starts to form before my eyes I'll feel so much excitement that I won't be able to suppress my sighs
The temperatures have fluctuated up and down all week
Can't believe the weatherman have spoke of such "a treat"
A chance of snow and schools will shutting down: it's true
February is bringing a delight...just for me and you .. So I'll wait and gaze and watch ..at the graying sky For that first sprinklet of snow that'll drop on down from up high And when that first crystal blanket starts to form before my eyes I'll feel so much excitement that I won't be able to suppress my sighs
Since little my heart has held,here, a very special place
For that miracle of nature that sprinkles down with grace
Like puffs of love and flakes of the purest down
I love to see it falling and covering up the ground
So I'll wait and gaze and watch at the graying sky For that first sprinklet of snow that'll drop on down from up high And when that first crystal blanket starts to form before my eyes I'll feel so much excitement that I won't be able to suppress my sighs
Just a short little note this morning... From my poem.. you can tell that snow is in the forecast.. Since I was small, I have had love for the sight of snow falling and blanketing the earth..
Something about it's softness when it falls.. and the pureness of it lying there so quietly looking pretty.. makes my heart leap..
Do you like snow...? I know driving in it and shoveling it may not be so great; but, take all that way.. Isn't it beautiful.. .? Is there some type of weather you really love?
Does it make you want to dance.. to sing.. to write .. or paint? Isn't it wonderful, how God gives us so much to delight us?
Just because we think.. it's so
Doesn't mean it's right, I hope you know
We huff, we puff we; we shout .. we scream
But all in all it's just our dream
We mustn't hold and cling so tight To things we push with all our might When all is said and when all is done The right thing's right for everyone..
We hold our signs and we hold our meets
An ugly violence is in our streets
But, if what we're saying...is good and well
Why do our gatherings look like hell?
We mustn't hold and cling so tight To things we push with all our might When all is said and when all is done The right thing's right for everyone.
"If you oppose us.... then you're blocked",
This is our lingo and it is our talk
It is our reasoning and it is our way
If you vote against us..then go away?
We mustn't hold and cling so tight To things we push with all our might When all is said and when all is done The right thing's right for everyone.
It is so sad this political divide
Within our country: so true and tried
Our fights and battles should not exist
To promote, our self seeking and divisionists
We mustn't hold and cling so tight To things we push with all our might When all is said and when all is done The right thing's right for everyone.
It seems, to me, we are becoming so political..so opinionated..so divided..that we forgot that we are suppose to be united.. I can say ..even ..from watching my own family's posts.. friend's post..that the election has become something very divisive and toxic...
The intensity of what's appearing on social media, in the newspapers, on the TV shows me .. that we are not the United States of America but a very divide States of America..
The way people treat those who embrace another political side is so UGLY!!! I am ashamed to see people close to me .. lash out.. curse.. ridicule what and who they don't like...it's saddening..
If your way is right.. why is it making you talk so ugly?? Whatever is going to be the way the country chooses: republican or democrat or something else.. It's obvious that the biggest issue isn't healthcare, economy.. or even student loans ..
The biggest issue is: is upholding the freedom to have an opinion.. It's pushing for the right to be different and respected ..even when .. perhaps.. someone sees things differently ..votes differently ..worships differently..
It's amazing that the very ones pushing for the rights of illegal aliens are the ones shouting down the rights of US citizens who cast a ballot different then theirs.. They want some part of the Constitution..but not all parts..
We are not suppose to be cafeteria Americans.. choosing what part of being American fits our agenda...
Please wake up People.. we are the USA and in our very core..we are one with each other by the very articles we created in protest against Britain's control.. We all have rights to vote.. to be .. to love .. to worship.. to bear arms. .etc.. Just because you don't like one of those rights doesn't mean you can bash those who respect them all..
If you don't want to vote for someone great.. but stop beating up someone who doesn't agree with your view.. You only show how small minded you are.. shouting out like your way's the only way!
Nature's speaking through the leaves
Hearts are listening and receive
All the secrets and all the love
Descending from the heights above.
Like some ointment soft and sweet
Flowers whisper ...energies meet
Through the seedlings; through the sod
We are touching the heart of God..
Every morning..and every night
All before us; in plain sight
Auras, loveliness: art divine
Singing songs out: line by line
If you're wanting to; you can see:
Everything beautiful..land and sea
All the melodies; all the song
Not so perfect but..nothing's wrong
Good morning.. look out your window..What do you see.. . really..what do you see...? Can you tell me.? What do you hear? Are you able to hear the birds... the leaves..the whispering wind..? Maybe at a distance, beyond the immediate sound of chirping birds.. you hear a hum of cars heading off to work?
Just for a moment..focus on the beauty outside...Are there trees? How many.. What kind? Do you hear birds? What kind? ... Can you see any plants..are they budding?
Imagine you are there side by side with one of them.. what would they be saying...Do you feel they are at peace.. ? Do they look calm...at one with the rest of the world?
Spend a little time..just listening and looking.. isn't it amazing..what we have before us every day.. We can start each day ..gazing on so much beauty..?
Silent pauses in the day
Calms our souls and makes a way
For the angels with their light
To guard and protect us ..unto night
Silent pauses along the way
Give us chances to carefully sway
From the wrong and to the right
Careful thinking gives us insight
Silent pauses when we speak
Keeps us humble ..keeps us meek
Makes us notice.. what we can miss
If our anger starts to hiss
Silent pauses on the road
Reminds us things: as good as gold
Patient driving... keeps us safe
Speeding can bring us to our grave
Silent pauses here or there
In our home or anywhere
Will alert us and help us see
God is present in you and me
Good morning.. how many of us are in a hurry each morning..? We just have to do this..or that.. and have to get out the door..fast..fast ..fast....
I know, sometimes, I get into that nasty habit..called routine..Routine seems to make us go quickly through things, without thinking.. There are things we do every morning the same..
When we are doing our daily morning routine.. what are the thoughts we have going through our head.? Are they thoughts of hurry, hurry ..hurry.. We have overslept.. or today we need to go in early..? Run, run, run?
What if.. just..what if...we slowed down a little? Each morning.. before we looked at a zillion emails and texts and tv and computer.. we just stopped and listened and prayed ( if we do that) and allowed the untouched silence of God to enter our souls.. We don't have to say anything..or even think...just be still..
What would happen if we did that? Do you think we should try? Wonder, would we find that our days become more blessed..more meaningful..?
And then at night .. before we jump in bed.. can we, then, go into that pause moment..Just a moment of two..complete silence, wonder, awe of how wonderfully blessed we were during the day.. and just acknowledge that blessing and say thank you to the Giver of all good things..What if we just took a moment or two to do that in the evening. .Nothing formal..just a slow down.. a quieting . .a silencing.. just a few moments or two.. God isn't impressed by numbers..or minutes or hours.. Let's slow down. Love you: Joy
In between my poems, I will start to write a little bit so you can get to know me... .Presently, I live in North Carolina...I work from home..I rent an in-law suite....
I love all of God's creation and believe in angels.. Jesus and in Mary and the saints..
I respect everyone's right to worship or not..It's not for us to evaluate souls.. but it is ours to love and spread love to others.. there's already too much hatred in our world..
Today ..our weather was nippy.. Squirrels and birds were ready for the tiny morsels.. I set out..
My four kitties were less rowdy .. I love them all. .their names are Orion, Gracie, Lucca and Crystal..
Hours slip away before the break of dawn
Before you know it..all this silence will be gone
Beautifulness and endless sounds of peace
Speak to me as the predawn hours start to decrease
Everything around me seems to hold a supernatural sound
And everything echoes within me..that..God is truly around
Though nothing animate seems visible to my mortal eye
I feel the Infinite One breathing life and hope ....I can't deny
So I sit in wonder and awe before the light of day
I soak in the awesomeness of the Almighty One passing by
In the elements and molecules and everything that is
God is speaking to my heart .."My love is so much more than this.."
