autumn leaves
danced with the seaweed
today

an undulating freeform dance with the rhythm
of a gentle sea.

and I danced among them,

taking the waters,
seeking healing,

amd finding some there.

reflecting internal feelings of the changing season
looming near.

Macro photo of the heart of pink Dahlia flower

relish in the moments
when Beauty seeps in
deep enough
to soothe the aching soul.

overcast skies are the backdrop to crows perched on bare branches above wires that rise at an angle

perched,
waiting,

for rain to be done falling,
for clouds to lift and disperse,

for the moment to be right
to take flight.

morning visitor
enters the garden
on red-tipped iridescent wing,

alighting
on blue painted toenail,

and stays long enough
for a heart to heart chat.

rather quite mesmerized
was I.

a good way
to start a new day.

#PoemOfTheDay #Poetry #NatureIsMyMuse #Poem #Dragonfly #Mystical #PaintedToenails

moments of awe
and wonder
feed the soul.

moments when the light
shines through
when darkness shifts
herald hope.

moody sky
reflects inner world.

something so powerful seems to be building, lurking,

when uncertainty
reigns the day;

pregnant with possibility.

#Sunset #Ocean #Poetry #NatureIsMyMuse #Poem #PoemOfTheDay #Moody

finding a safe place
to curl up for a while,

especially when clouds roll in,

can be paramount for saving our sanity.

go there. do that.
as often as needed.
it’s ok. you’re allowed.

quiet, wet days,
get “nothing done” days,
can be the best medicine.

a hot cup of tea.
a good book.
nothing better.

and even on the rainy days of summer

when the world seems bleak and gray

do the things that bring you peace, or joy!

and be grateful
for this day.

playing with
colour and contrast

this is Nature
just being her
stunning self again.

fire and smoke,
air and water;
her mediums for last night’s inspired design.

there are some moments
when all you can do is
Stop.

inhale Gratitude,
exhale Love.

and acknowledge
the utter Miracle
that life truly is.

the path ahead
may seem long,
never-ending,
and arduous;

remember,
all you truly need to
focus on
is just that one next step.

keep going.

rest as needed,
then take that next step.

A heart shaped rock embedded in the pebbly ground.

Love shows up
often when it is least expected.

be ready to welcome it
in to your life.

morning sea wind tickles
hair and skin,

ocean waves sidle in
and kiss the shore;

bare feet in sand
feeling earth’s energies
mingle with my own,

osprey glide
- and dive! -
for their breakfast.

a pulsing peace prevails.

I invite you to stay awhile.

I hope you feel safe here.
I hope you feel welcome.
I hope you feel respected.
I hope you feel loved.

each evening
The Great Artist paints
a new combination of texture and hue;

Love imbued.

every one
a masterpiece,
Divine;

breathtaking
equally in its simplicity
and its grandeur,

my heart inextricably
entwined.

the river is singing.
my soul is singing, too!

listen
and find herein
soothing
for the ache
that anxiety carves
deep in your weary bones.

be well
and sing with the river.
let her bathe you in gladness.

SoundOn!

there is much joy to be
found
in rushing rivers
and waterfalls,

and long hikes
through winding
woodland trails;

and summer camping adventures
in the company of young beloveds.

Back in a couple days…

Grab those

O! the colours of
a summer morning
Sing
deep in my veins!

and I feel
the winter depletion
lifting
as my spirit rises up
in harmony.

as you go about your days,
as busy as you may be,
do your very best,
as often as you can,

to sprinkle in
generous doses
of solitude,

in soft, hushed places,

with time, on occasion,
to just sit
and watch the flowers grow.

#BloomScrolling #Poetry #NatureIsMyMuse #Poem #NaturePhotography #Nature

there is such stunning Beauty
in the minutiae of life.

slow down.
see it.

breathe it in.

summer rains
fall again

refreshing,
cooling,

the quiet rhythms
they create
landing upon the earth…

soothing.

thank you.
I needed that.
