You more

 

i want to smile i want to laugh 
life is hard but it is also a gaffe 
humor saves 
humor restores 
humor raves 
but humor 
never bores

Heroes rise bully cries

 

Take each breath

 Take each breath 

Taste it

Feel it

Live it

It is small

It is all 

When

 Little spot of zen

Where I go to

When 

How the beauty

 How the beauty of frozen stillness feeds the fires  of imagination 

Free

 We stand with those who are trampled upon

We raise our voices

For those hearts so strong

There is no place on this earth 

For tyranny 

All sovereign nations have

The right to be free 

Ukraine forever 

Fan tree

 Fantree waits

against a grey backdrop sky

Branches reaching for comfort 

From spring slowly approaching 

Gift

 May this gift of a day gift our world with peace as it gently breezes forward 

Dragonfyre part 1

 dragonfyre part 1

there was a time when the world was inhabited by men and dragons. together they forged an alliance, based upon mutual trust and respect. the dragons ruled the skies, soaring, playing, searching for caves. they would go on man's land to feed, but only took what man himnself did not need.

man, ruled the earth. he planted, he hunted for food, clothing, shelter. he never lay bare a species of plant or animal, always leaving enough for his winged brethren. he looked to the skies with wonder; dragons flying, birds gliding effortlessly. he did not aim any weaponry at that domain. the sky was not his.

men had settlements scattered everywhere. dragons picked caves close enough to keep a watchful eye, but far enough away for privacy. this alliance was a sound one, but maintained by a sense of sleeping with one eye open. this co-existence proved beneficial to both parties.

the dragons would breathe enough fire to clear land for man to build. the humans would not hunt any wildlife, so the dragons had an ample supply of food. water was bountiful and both species peacefully shared. the earth was green, lush and plentiful, trees growing where trees were meant to grow, hot desert sands in their place, warm languid rainforests flourished.

the dragons surveyed all on this planet. it is said that men would not go anywhere that the dragons had not gone to first. it is also said that the dragons would only take man to places he could live safely, and in harmony, with.

for centuries, the planet and all its inhabitants thrived under this well forged partnership. the garden was never depleted, by man, dragon or mother earth. the earth mother was pleased with her children, and regalled them gentle weather. storms teased but were never torrential. 

Namaste

 Namaste,

Love and light.

Peace-filled days

And blissful 

Nights.

sparrowz

 we are not fancy

we are not tall

you  don't have to be either

to have it all

If oft

 If oft one thought 

Looked back 

For naught

Cannot be changed

Nor by denial, 

rearranged 

Mon

 Happens every week.  🤪

When the sky

 When the sky ate the parking lot

Sounds like a science fiction plot 

There is

 There is darkness 

There is light

There is wrong 

There is right

There is yes

There is no

Which way will

You go?

Plane speaking

 Let joy and love lift you 

Perhaps

 

Find

 Find your comfy corner 

Random act of kindness

 Today is random acts of kindness day 

I will be your friend
Will you be mine?
Will you be gentle,
Will you be kind?
Will you treat me as
You wish to be treated
Anything less, would be
Self, defeated

Words

 The ghosts of your sorrows

Will stand in the way 

Of the joy you might

Every day.

heal

 the world will heal when the skies are filled with the sounds of flapping wings and joyful song

❤️love is❤️

 Love is and for that we are forever grateful.

Butterfly

 The grace and beauty of a butterfly 

Exquisitely so

Hard not to cry

Humbled are we

By its artistic eloquence

Almost lost in a world

That won’t make sense.

Dove

 How would it be 

To be a dove

Soft gentle demeanor 

Symbol of peace 

And love 

Would you be

Weighted down 

By expectations, high 

When all you wanted to do

Is fly?

Countdown

 Counting down 

i close my eyes 
i want to dream 
of a place where 
things are 
as they seem

Song

 Life is a song.

Do you sing along?

mist

 words are only bandaids on the gaping wounds of loss but here is something i wrote; Mist

to those once with us,

who no longer remain,

we feel your loss,

and it causes pain.

but we know you are

in a place of peace,

with others, just like you,

whose troubles have ceased.

your tenure on earth

with us never enough,

yes we go on,

but at times it is rough.

Waters

 Waters wash over

Memories, 

Still .

Look

 Looking for my Sunday smile 

Even if it takes a while 

Nuanced with regrets and tears

Time ill spent

Wasted years

Vanquished moments 

Drowned in fears

Blessed as yet

To still be here 

Mirrors

 Mirrors are tear drops of tiny truths

Friend ship

a true friendship cannot be defined
it has no boundaries, draws no lines
it stands where others may never
go
it is a thing of silent beauty
most will never know

 

I am a parrot

 We are pretty.  We are intelligent.

We are born to be free.  For the wild we are meant.
You think we are entertaining. You like when we “talk”
We are parrots. Our language is “squawk”.

You think we are accessories to be caged.
We are as smart as humans and need to feel engaged.
When we hit puberty, as with human teens,
We sometimes get feisty and bite.
We are not being mean.

By humans we are so often misused, disregarded and neglected.
Terribly abused.
We are voiceless to you and we need to be heard.
We are sentient beings…not “just birds”

We need a lot of attention, specific foods.
We are not here to cater to your moods.
So please humans out there here our cries,
If you need an avian companion, ADOPT do not buy.
