Tranquil Fantasy

When the su;n is shining

My feelings tend to zoom and soar,

High upon the billowy clouds,

Waiting for my ecstacy.

The all powerful force

That comes to me, when I am

Least expecting, catchin me unaware,

Lifting me on high.

Higher than the fluffy soft clouds

Drifting aimlessly about, just

Waiting for the gentle breezes -

To sweep me gently away to my tranquility.

It takes so little

It takes so little to make us sad -

Just a slighting word or a doubting sneer,

Just a scornful smile on some lips held dear,

And our footsteps lag, though the goal seemed near,

And we lose the courage and hope we had -

So little it takes to make us sad.

It takes so little to make us glad -

Just the cheering clasp of a friendly hand,

Just a word from one who can understand;

And we finish the task we long had planned,

And we lose the doubt and fear we had -

So little it takes to make us glad.

TRANQUILITY

Come home, one more time

That is the way it was,

Times were tough, could have been worse

Yet we always have - hope.

Comes the day, when someone breaks,

This is also the way it is

Not looking back, and yet

The aching feeling surges thru the heart.

Wishing and praying for differences,

Yet knowing this is all part of the plan,

The lessons of life, we all must face -

To grow into spiritual beings.

My lesson was that loving

Can be beautiful to learn,

To receive as well as to give,

This can be total tranquility.

REMEMBERING

The days of youth, when all was fun

No problems to mar our imaginations -

As we let go and soar above the fluffy clouds,

Gliding aimlessly, totally immersed in peace.

Growing up, we experience many feelings

That confuse us and send us out -

Into the dilemma of teenage fever,

Learning, learning and more learning.

Adulthood finds us ready for anything,

As we embark on our journey -

Ready to show the world who we are,

Anxious to get on with life.

One day we wake up and find, yes

We have become that old person, the

One we teased and made fun of -

Woe is me, too start over again.

I have another poem - it is entitled

Wanderer

I have wandered the earth -

For many a day, and behold,

My answer has come

Not in the way I expected.

I have seen trials and tribulations -

Have made mistakes galore,

I have made amends and learned -

Who I truly am.

Such an awakening has come to me -

Finding my true self among the many,

Willing to share my experiences

And my joys with any who want to sit with me.

Living in the moment, truly a wonderful place to truly be, letting the past stay in the past, and not too much care for what might happen in the future, for who knows for sure - our minds are always changing, and life is always changing as well, especially today.

Too be the best I can be today, right now, is my most important goal, the others will follow as I continue to enjoy my moments of glory and peace, touched with love.
