Natures Love Song

The tree covered hill tops

Alive with the chirping of birds

Their songs echoing

Providing solace and joy to my soul

They sing their song

Encouraging nature along,

Natures love song

Giving rise to the earth

Mumbles and Grumbles

Get over your grumbles

Your quiet voiced mumbles

Think of the clouds as your mumbles and grumbles.  We need to take control of the plane and fly high above them.
Life is too short to do it any other way.  Try to be more like….

It could have been me

but it’s not

The lessons I learned

I long forgot

We all have a shot at this life

No time to struggle or strife

But time to use the perspective lens

Examine those bothersome trends

Well wishes for distant friends

I take a little from there

And bring it with me here

To where I’m going to be

Life is about choices

Trying on our different voices Continue reading

By the Fire

Sitting by the fire

It pops and crackles

Snapping like a crispy cracker

Except louder

Each crackle

And pop makes my heart stop

Makes me want to burst into flames

A burning pain

In my soul Continue reading
