I took a walk near dusky dark

May10
 
 
 
 
I took a walk,
near dusky dark,
to meet…joy,
 
I heard it in the song,
of the birds, as night,
hushed their voice,
 
the jasmine perfume,
jangled in the air,
so heavenly,
 
the crickets added, 
humming noises,
steadily singing,
 
lyrical laughing,
across the road,
in descending dark,
 
looking up I saw,
tree vines framing,
like a Monet,
 
the periwinkle blue,
sky… waiting for its stars,
I saw a firefly,
 
ignite four times,
floating a small path,
I laughed,
 
happiness is believing,
joy can be met,
it is a choice.

Obscured Dreamer

May5

 

http://obscureddreamer.wordpress.com/

    It is a great name for a blog. My first thought was, “why is the dreamer obscured?”  The dreamer was kind enough to pass the Readership Award along my way. It was thoughtful, and I appreciate it very much. Since I have great qualms ALWAYS  before I push the Publish button, it is good to know that anyone could possibly think of my simple words as reader worthy. Thank you!  But now more about the…

OBSCURED DREAMER 

Paraphrasing the Dreamer: Don’t expect the normal; that is “gone with the wind.”

 When I first saw her blog, the images had me before I even read a word.

  I knew she was a kindred soul that loved words and the riddle of putting words together. Her posts are varied and interesting!  Love the poetry!  

   Her recent post is about weird laws! I had never heard of most of them, and I couldn’t stop reading!

  One such law: one can’t at any time keep an ice cream cone in the back pocket.   Wouldn’t you like to know who was responsible for this law!  Thank you Obscured Dreamer for the smiles. 

 

 

 

Sounds

Apr22

 

silence of a falling leaf,

quietness of anger turned,

pop of the cookie sheet,

cold day, warming oven,

trembling voice violin,

concert in harmony,

a bell that says it’s time,

a voice that sings hello,

a whistle tune of childhood,

all  voices in a choir,

 moving musical thread,

dawn  the singing bird,

stirring  songs,

until from the trees,

 warblers from their thrones sing,

shimmering wind interlacing leaves,

the sun sings too,

cicada’s clicking throttle,

the fall of a tree,

crashing timber timbre,

cymbal sharp,

lightening,

mountains walking,

I hear thunder,

blurring purr of light rain,

thankful,

for,

sounds.
