Today I Saw A Rainbow

2009-09-23T22:52:00.006-05:00

Today I saw a brilliant rainbow
When I was with my Love.
The red and pink together made such a pretty color
Like I had never seen before!
It was like a candy rainbow,
And above it was another one!

God, Angels, Earth, thank you for such a miracle today!

Zilker Gardens II

2009-07-11T16:13:00.005-05:00

I like how the water falls onto the pile of smooth rocks below.
The pretty plants found a nice home
on the wall of the waterfall.

The Japanese lantern holds its place on the rock table just perfectly,
and dragonflys fly by enjoying their day.

Thank you pretty gardens! You mean a lot to me.
You bring balance to my body and
make me feel peaceful in my heart.

Picture taken by Steve Moon at Zilker Botanical Gardens about a week after my poem was written. :-) Thanks so much Steve. I love it!

Zilker Gardens

Lily pads so sweet and cute.
I love to see your flowers in bloom.
Yellow, Purple, Red, Pink and White
You make my heart smile!

This wonderful picture was taken by reader, Steve Moon, at Zilker Botanical Gardens, about a week after I wrote my poem while in the gardens.

Thank You Sunset!

The pink sunset
with purple clouds
fills me with deep inner peace
and love.
Thank you beautiful sky.
Thank you beautiful hills.
You look so pretty!

Thank You Tree!

There is a tree
with the cutest
tiniest
leaves.
It always makes my heart smile.

Steve Moon, Thank you for taking this picture!! My favorite little leaves!!

The Beautiful Moss

2009-01-15T11:09:00.002-06:00

I love
the furry moss
on the trees.
It's dark green
and yellow-green
and feels so good when I touch it.
It's like velvety carpet.

The Sun's Light

2009-01-14T11:57:00.004-06:00

The sun shines right down upon me
through the trees.
Its light makes the color of the leaves so pretty
just like I like.
Lime green, green apple green, yellow-green.
Some look like Christmas lights
so white and lit up!

Upon Returning Home, Kneeling before God and The Angels

2009-01-13T12:56:00.003-06:00

For all the years of unrest,
I rest in thee.
For all the years of worry,
I give to thee.
All the years of sorrow

I let slip away from me.

A Few Berries on a Branch

2009-01-13T12:48:00.003-06:00

Red berries...deep orange berries,
busy squirrel running on the branches,
the wind making the leaves heard.
All is perfect when I look and listen
in the stillness of my heart.
I am happy.
I am blessed,
and I am free.

Thank You Dear Fountain!

2009-01-12T20:38:00.003-06:00

When it's completely quiet
I hear the fountain
bubbling.
It's the sound of
happiness
and peace.

Pink Sunset

Pink sunset
so soft and so sweet.

Thank you Mother Earth.

The Rock That Caught My Eye

2009-01-12T17:35:00.003-06:00

Orange rock
so pretty you are!
You look like a big shell.
My shape is intricate, and reminds you of times past.
Yes, I see now.
A hat, a face, nose, eyes and hair.
You are right.
You have a story to tell?
It is I who long past loved you once, when you
were feeble,
and now you are strong!

Songs of Love Above Me

2009-01-12T17:32:00.003-06:00

Little bird,
what did you say?
That Life is sublime!

Full Moon

2009-01-11T19:58:00.001-06:00

I kneel at the beauty of the moon.
Thank you moon for your
gentle guidance,
for your push and pull,
always leading us forward.

When I Rested on a Rock

2009-01-11T17:42:00.000-06:00

Rustling leaves
shaking in the wind.
I only hear you
when I stop and pray.

Wind, I can feel you now
making the leaves jingle.
I didn't know they were like bells,
but now I do.
