The Song of Life

on the world that she had wrought
round and blue and perfect
but it was missing, quite a lot Continue reading “The Song of Life”
The Dream
I stood upon the meadow
and gazed up at the sky
my creative soul was empty
inspiration had run dry
The sun shown down upon me
as I stood upon the earth
ideas came a calling
just waiting to give birth
When I woke, my gravid soul
was filled with love and light
ideas and inspiration
a grateful heart’s delight
Til next time ~Peace ~JPP
For Kira’s Sunday Scribbles. Kira has given us a truly moving piece this week. Without further ado, I give you my interpretation:
The Wall
Long ago, there was a land
both fair and green
and the people there were happy
as they worked to build their dream
neighbors came from far and near
their fortunes there to find
and were welcomed to the new world
by people generous and kind Continue reading “The Wall”
Darkness Lies Within
I woke one day to screaming
and realized it was my own
broken dishes, shattered glass
I shivered all alone.
For the darkness had come again
broken free from his cage
wreaking havoc and despair
with violence and rage
Tears fell from my eyes
and landed on the floor
I shook my fist at heaven
and then I cried NO MORE!
I swept the bits and pieces
and patched up every wall
and then I went inside myself
and built a holding cell
Made up of logic and of reason
it would hold the darkness well
Continue reading “Darkness Lies Within”

Small, gentle creatures, they could always be counted on to give the unclaimed dead what comfort could be found in a simple cleansing and burial. Continue reading “Where the Spirit Fire Flowers Bloom”
This week’s Kira’s Sunday Scribble left my in a quandary. I really, really wanted to write a cute little poem about the brave Teddy Bear Brigade.

So, without further ado, Continue reading “Teddy Bears and the Brigade”
