Fun Friday; Things!

Loneliness, and heartache, it’s a real ting. Sometimes, the phone doesn’t ring. Leaving you to go, through the warm summer days wondering. Will the bee string, will the dogs bite? Will another lockdown, leave you feeling sad? Just, simply remember your favorite things. And the perspective, won’t be so bad. The raindrops on roses, the ticklish whiskers on kittens. Let’s your soul, beat the humdrum. Make some tea, in your bright copper kettle. When the door rings, grab your favorite warm woolen mittens. Outside, your Amazon brown paper packages, tied up with string. For some, these are a few, of your favorite things. Like riding the merry go round, on your favorite cream colored ponies. With a tasty, crisp apple strudels. Soon, winter will be here. With more door bells, and sleigh bells. A time, to make some schnitzel with noodles. But first, let your heart bask in the colorful, the autumn hue!

September, oh October. Your dazzling display, captures the imagination. The crimson muse, radiant with the colors of love. The breadth, makes the soul soar. Your heart having wings, like wild geese, flying with the moon on their wings. These, a few of life’s favorite things. Girls in white dresses, tied with blue satin sashes. Daydreaming, of all the snowflakes, that stay on the nose, and eyelashes. The silver white winters, they melt into spring. The season has changed, part of your favorite things. A well dressed up status, just a cling, accessorized with bling. But, it won’t benefit the heart, it’s a fleeting thing. Instead, let your heart be captivated, with a heartfelt love. What a joy it would bring, to have your honeybun. Your sugar and tea, double, double. The love better, better; with flavor, flavor. To help, take away the sting, and make the heart sing. When, the dog bites, if the bee stings. Your soul, remembering one thing. Let your heart love, and dance. The hills are alive, with the sound of music!

This One, For You!

With every encounter, let love be. In just a smile, to captivate the heart. A love that sparkles, twinkles endlessly, capturing every gaze. A soul fluttering, a heart with wings. Spread wide, for you’re a, beauty butterfly. Love the real, the deal, the meal; food for the soul. A love you can hold, the heaven’s divine, what you get to behold. Every starry gaze, the breath taken for days. A heart, watching from a far, for another moment. To draw even closer, show what’s loved… profoundly. Layer, on layers; how love builds, the strongest foundation. Easing the fear, strong love, won’t be able to stand the test… time. Love, too important to let any kind of whether, cast any doubts. Love is forever, let it soar to heights unknown. Love is the gift, deserving to be regifted… over and over. Let it glean, let it learn, from your being. New depths, your heart breathless needing to discover. My friends, is your heart constantly thinking of ways, to love on others… just because? If you’re hurting, feeling discouraged, just need a shoulder. You’re not alone, I’ve been there, and can walk with you. The way out, is to go through… to the other side. May love keep your heart, where the light is. My love, my heart, my soul; thought of you today. So, I wrote this one, for you!

Kindness!

The Plea:

Father, may every heart be filled, with kindness. Have true compassion, for everyone. The passion, to profoundly serve. Through the eyes, or with just a smile. The heart and soul, would surely be known. Love, receives with open arms. But thrives, when sincerely from an open heart. A heart truly engaged, marries hope, to grace. The day, true love in our humanity grows. The roots going deeper, for we’re all tethered, to the same vine. A love, that erases the lines, drawn through the sands of time. May our hearts, not be scared to lean in. Test the waters, to see how deeply refreshing. Press the love in, until the new wine, finds the deepest place. May we see the truth, that in every vein. Lies the same universal, color of love. Even, in just a smile, kindness would resoundingly be felt. Love, doesn’t care if you’re homeless, famous, someone in between. Our Father, take your children, by the heart. May our life reflect, our heart tell the whole story. To what kind of love, permeates inside. A never ending love, won’t leave a heart wondering. If the love, will be there unconditionally tomorrow? The heart is shaped, by love in action. Even in just a smile, felt would surely be. The Father’s love, on display!

A Poem:

A kind gesture, speaks without words. Warm-hearted, may tenderness prevail. May goodwill, come with true affection. May love be warmth, casting a gentle presence. The mist moved, a soul feeling the breadth. Water, cascading from the heart, touched in the deepest place. May we, always be considerate, one to another. Helpful, thoughtful, loving. Even if, it’s just through a smile, as you joyfully hold open a door. We have, such big hearts. So let our hopes, dream biggest dream. One love, one heart, for humanity!

May it, be so!

Undistracted!

When, the day comes trying to sway. Don’t let distractions, get in the way. Don’t let your heart stray, focus on what, will get you through the day. A heart knowing, there’s a light; that shines through the darkness. The moon can’t eclipse, clustered stars can’t outshine, clouds can’t cast a doubt. God’s love, is the lighthouse. When the storms loom, when the rain falls… from your eyes. Anchor your faith, His love won’t, let your heart get swept away. God’s love, speaks to the water. His heart, oceans deep. It steps into the surreal, to show it’s a love so real. The overwhelming flood, restrained, by the breadth of His love. Dip your hope, let every breath drown, in the depth of the calm. What do you do, when you’ve done all you can do? In the wake, stand… in the reign. Words, what could mine do, to change; what your heart has to face? Love, gives words the unrestricted power, to encourage a heart. This day, and the next too shall pass. May your peace, know the stillness, that will take you by the heart. Love thrives when it gets, your undistracted devotion!

“The Lord bless you, and keep you. May the Lord, make His face to shine upon you, be gracious to you. May the Lord, lift His countenance upon you, and give you His peace.” And may you let His love, rest upon your heart! Numbers 6:24-26 ESV

The Way Out!

The way out, what you have to go through. Every beginning, finds an end. Every story, tells the tale. Every journey, reveals the process. Every season, brings about change. At every stage, something is learned. With every experience, wisdom is gained. The road to truth, leads to enlightenment. Brokenness is a place, where courage won’t leave you abandoned. Through the valley, there’s a way out. Your most vulnerable moment, doesn’t mean a crushing defeat. Your resolve, thrives because of the fiber, strengthened by your confidence. A difficult situation is conquered, as a result of your heart. Loss, takes the breath. Grief, knows a deep river. In the depth, love pulls you through, helps you rise again. Finding peace, gives you a way to breathe. Though the way out, still taking you through. Find a love, you can press in, as you press on. The way out, through the tears. After the rain, watch the cloud roll back, to see there’s always hope. When the sun emerges, get ready to shine. Discover you’re not alone, someone has made it through. Scars, don’t define you. Flawlessly, how hopefulness shines. Showing the way, every time. Thanks to grace, and the power you’ve found. A forward momentum, unstoppable. Where, you happen to find your heart? The way out, what you have to go through. To find The way, the truth, life!

The Planned Escape!

The silent river, the introverted depth capsized, by a deep ocean. Every escaping breath, what needed to be held. The heart pouring, the crimson tide receiving. Every breathless encounter, never ceased to amaze, every gaze captured. The heart arrested, in the surrender. Why fight the power to slip away, swept by the still water. The cascading love, drowns breathlessly. When chains are broken, but the heart forever tethered. Every planned escape, becomes another retreat… deeper. The heart flying the cooped, with wings and a prayer. Every pursuit, the great escape… into depth of love. When you’ve reached, the love transcends. Your words run away, love had your heart… at speechless. You never again, have to duck and cover, a heart so exposed. The heart of a child, playing duck, duck, goose. The soul coming loose, chasing butterflies. The joy of love, no longer contained; the heart spilling the beans. The breadth of love, escaped into the atmosphere. Love escapes the mind, when the choice didn’t reveal intentional. Love reacting, the heart never acting. Love confined, a soul; not knowing the freedom. Love should never be shaken, just stirred. The glass never half empty, always half full. Every drip of love, feeling like water soothing. Seeping through the heart, outpoured running over endlessly. You can never, run from the day. But your soul can escape, into an oasis. My heart, has no need for a random getaway. For me and my soul, it’s a planned escape, the needed retreat. Not into myself, but into the heavenly. Every day, resting the cares of the heart. Without allowing, your love to be on vacation. To stay or to vacate, keep or be spent. Holding the breadth, but losing your breath. My escape, retreat into the divine; stay in the love. To not let the surrender, be the afterthought. Escaping is a choice, to live free. Even for the diehard, heart with a lot on the go. Love in action, will never be a heart bruised. When love forever, becomes the planned escape. The devotion, my heart… undistracted!

Song Inspired; You Were Loved!

Have you ever, wished you could turn back clock, change the sands of time? It was but a moment, life’s cloaked in fleeting vapors. Losing your breath, sometimes bitter, sometimes so sweet. Love, took my breath, on the wings of an angle. So many times, I wanted to pick up the phone. Tell you, I don’t have to miss you, won’t try to hold on to the years. I will, always keep you close. Your love is forever, in our heart. I will cry, but will never shed a tear. I will keep it, bottled up. Just let the overflow, run through my silent river. Then poured, deeper. Your heart be loved, with each breath taken. Though, the soul journeys home. Your love, has reserved a special place, next to my heart. I lost a breath, but your love helps me find it. In life, the heart chases dreams. We need not forget, in searching; find the true meaning, to life. Knowing a love, profound with meaning. Diamonds in the hand, not a treasure the heart can hold. You can’t say, you have a diamond. If the love, doesn’t shine through it. You can have riches, but without love. What do you have, to call your priceless treasure? In this world, everybody searches for peace. The only place to find it, within the heart. The greatest gift, life can truly give. Having a love, that meant something. One, you can look back on, see if the love touched? If the breadth, was deeply held; the love, found in the deepest place? The most precious treasure, needs to be kept safe. Not with lock, with love this the key. It’s profoundly better, when on display. My baby girl, unlocked a well guarded place!

You ask for words, but speechless become the heart. You can ask the waves, why swept away? But, before knowing the answer, emotions another flood. You ask the tree, how deep the roots? For life, begins under ground. You can ask the grave, don’t take your breath. But tears, how the ground feels the reign. Strong hope, breaks what comes to chain. I wish, I didn’t have to write this. But, I’m thankful; my heart gets to say this. Remembering, will not out weigh this. We have history, love the story. The good days, not weighed by a bad day. The heart goes on, one day at a time, love gets you through it. Thank You, for letting us know your heart. Distance, won’t overcome the miles. Love’s a journey, the road knows the destination. But it’s the chosen path, that holds the true destiny. Even now, love puts a face, to what makes the heart smile. That’s, the power of love. My advise, to every heart. Always remember, to tell that special person; You’re Loved. Leaving, not a kiss to say goodbye. But a moment to say, our love will meet again. Love felt, a heart touched, by one with a special love. The breath taken, someone reached in; held it forever. It doesn’t matter, when time finds forever. When I lay me down, this my heart will know. In the wake, my soul will find love, waiting… to take my breath. Why, I’m saving all my love. All the love, you’ve given. My love, is your love… breathing, still!

* For the last three years in August, I’ve picked one of Whitney Houston’s songs, to be a Song Inspired. This year, because of my own daughters passing in March 2021. One week before her 31st birthday, which I wrote about back then. We got passed COVID, only for our hearts to be blindsided, with something else. This post, was written with her in mind. It will also be dedicated anyone, who has also lost a loved one recently! This song, was released in 1998. Hope, it blessed your heart?

Salt, and Light!

Love, a heart with a particular kind. Not, the flavor of the week. But, favor shared indeed, to a heart in need. Love, is a shining light, radiating with a heavenly glow. A little bit of favor, a recipe to surely make, what was baked in. Seeing the moment made, someone feel lighthearted. From a kind word, that took away the bitter taste. Set the table, be the light, with the right ambiance. Let the love be literal, not just seen in the peripheral. Show, how much love has history. Yesterday’s love, left a lasting taste. The breadth preserved, lingering in the heart for days. The blessings today, the season tomorrow. To show, love is the savored reason. Why, love won’t be worth its salt. Until it’s seen, in the best light. A heart deserving to see, how your love shines. Vibrant, with the color of love. Let the mood, be lighted. Giving love the room, to become enlightened. To be a lamp, is to give light. To make light, when the day; doesn’t seem so bright. Love illuminates, but it’s the heart that beams. Love, will help to ignite, a hidden passion. Every heart, is filled with substance, to let the love be substantial. Added, with a fresh amount of spice. The essence of your character, will be love rising up, like the sun. A heart shining, the beautiful light. Love, showcasing how much vigor, is displayed through the zest. Hearts are influenced, minds are changed, lives are impacted. When shown love, that has Salt, and Light!
