Wake Up!

by wordman2022

Here we are on this planet

To live and look around

The corner at what might

Jump out at us. This is the

Adventure we live for.

We are the most awake

When we welcome it all.

Jasmine

by wordman2022

Garden beds of jasmine
Are a beautiful sight to
See year round. The
Sturdy tropical plant
Comes in many colors
And is a great addition
To a walking garden.
Nothing calms the soul
Better than a walk in
A garden of fragrant
Jasmine flowers.

Journal

by wordman2022

Keeping a journal is a
Way of recording life’s
Occasions and moments
That you want to remember
And also your thoughts
And reflections on your
Life. It’s an activity you
Can’t stop doing.

Springtime

by wordman2022

After a long winter
The season life loves
Arrives known as
Spring. Green sprouts
Pop up on bushes and
Trees, marigolds are
Everywhere. The
Natural world wakes
Up and all living
Things rejoice.

Weeping Willow

by wordman2022

In the spring

This tree has

A thousand myriad

Branches, tender gold shoots

Softer than silk.

In this wild unpeopled field

Who does this willow belong to?

Being Underwater

by wordman2022

The world underwater is
A very different world
Than the world above
Water. If you’re in a lake or
The ocean you see a world
Of underwater life. You
Are nearly weightless,
Floating along with the
Fish. The only downside
Is that you have to come
Up for air.

Sands

by wordman2022

Life begins and ends at
The seashore. When we
Walk barefooted on the
Beach the surf erases
Our footprints as soon
As we make them. The
Shifting, whispering,
Sands are a metaphor
For the impermanence
Of life. Life is for living
Now.

Spring

by wordman2022

Gray cold days, barren trees,
No flowers, seasonal affective
Disorder flourishes. If it were
Not for Thanksgiving and
Christmas, one might as well
Hibernate. But there is hope.
Spring is coming, warmth and
Growth and the promise of
Renewal of life everywhere.
