Today I cast off my dreams
leaving them on yesterday’s wake
did I have the perfect form
or was I making a mistake
*
today I waded deep into sorrow
jigsaw puzzle pieces mismatched
wishing I could ignite the driftwood
you were reality’s dreadful catch
*
today I danced to a new beat
loosened my hair into the breeze
laughed away yesterday’s tight rope
casting-off from you an ease
pennant in sea breeze
free to wave away the tide
unaffected by change
*
a hat or a blade
we built a fort in your glade
through cut, we unafraid
Pampas grass grows wild along the California coastline. Plume -like beauty from a distance masks the blade-like sharpness of its leaves.
Pampas Grass is today’s Carpe Diem’s prompt
you looked down
into celestial colored eyes
like yours
sparks flew
long into the night
*
you -bigger than life
I so unsure
your hand took mine
each day
a new delight
*
“Hang on”
you said
“never let go”
I couldn’t
you held me so tight
*
“Come fly
with me baby”
you took me
to the stars
what a sight
**
I look at my hand
imprinted
by you
sparks still remain
embers of light
*
where did you go
without me?
you took
a piece of me
on your lonely flight
*
one look in my eyes
you and me
aiming
for the stars
holding on ~ tight
There is a story behind the location in the pictures (where I learned to swim in the surf, build sand castles and love.) Thanks to Raed Shomali for Pescadero the top pic. Please have a look at his work- he is fantastic photographer. You can also find him on Twitter @shomali11
The sunset was taken, with my iphone, Half Moon Bay area while I was driving ( umm yes multitasking). Location wise they are the same piece of coast line.
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Gud skaper noko nytt ved sitt Ord og sin Ande, vi kan ta imot det i tru og få oppleve at han gjer sitt verk med oss. Hans skaparkraft verkar konstuktivt i våre liv og skaper noko som er verdifullt for oss. Naturkreftene verkar nedebrytande, i fylgje entropilova, men Gud er Ånd og det som er født av hans Ande består. Jesu frelsesverk er fullbrakt og fullkome. Han er den siste Adam, som er ifrå himmelen og som for oss har vorte ei livgjevande ånd. Han gjev oss den Heilage Ande frå himmelen av berre nåde. Han gjev oss det evige livet.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe
