Shadows

Something lurks beneath the bright

It shies away from the light

Peripheral image that can’t be seen

What can that phantom visual mean?

Sense the dark as it closes in

Suffocates like a hidden sin

Run to a meadow open and free

Take a moment to breathe and see

The sun was shining just last week

Now the sky seems cold and bleak

Oh won’t the sun come out and play

Chase the shadows and gloom away

Colorful

Brighter thoughts fill the mind
Happiness feels sublime
Heartstrings begin to bind

Pink of admiration
Journey to destination
Welcome inspiration

Passion red fills the soul
Overflowing empty hole
Giving back what it stole

Yellow hope of sunshine
Making clouds worth our time
Every sunset feels fine

Blue of clear brighter sky
Natural love flying high
Take a deep breathe and sigh

Lavender enchantment
Whispers of contentment
Dancing with enthrallment

World becoming rainbow
Sets complexion aglow
As warmth and feeling flow

Springtime Haiku

Melting snow forms pools
Warmer days cause happy thought
Green grass from wet ground

Reflection on a Summer Day

Mine feet were firm
- upon the ground
When He coaxed my gaze
- toward His mighty crown

Those troubled clouds
- caught my eye
And welled in me
- the need to cry

Drifting silent
- through somber sky
The breeze let loose
- her siren’s sigh

I gazed ahead
- as sun broke through
It warmed my blood
- with reverence true

Moody Lady Spring

Lady Spring plays a torurous game
day to day weather's not the same
sun last week and snow today
hinders any outdoor play

Wanting signs of budding flowers
brought about by April showers
wishing for the summer heat
sound of thunder can't be beat
