Autumn comes on tip-toe this year                       

 In the waning days of October.

The cold wind blows into Kansas,

And animals grow more fur.

 

Found on Google+ on 11-6-15. 1monique-breva.

The air smells crisp and clean,

And when the rain comes,

It falls gently on

The yellow chrysanthemums.

 

The rain holds wonderful scents

That reflect the treasures  of earth.

Yellow, orange, and red leaves dance

While children laugh with mirth.

 

Trees catch the last rays of the sun,

And leaves fall to the ground.

Death touches all living things

And leaves without a sound.

grief, Losses in life., Losses in nature, Pinterest photo and on facebook.com., poetry by Yu/stan/kema, Tammikuun Aurinko.

Found on Pinterest on 12-20-16 and facebook.com. Tammikuun Aurinko.

The River rises in the darkness,

And the wind snaps giant trees.

Cold moves down from the mountains,

And plants droop as they freeze.

 

The storm releases its fury,

And a huge tree falls down,

To lie helpless and alone

On the hard, frozen ground. 

 

Nature can hit without warning.

Destruction, can be the result.

Losses occur in life,

And often, it is nobody’s fault.

 

For storms are a part of nature,

And life gives and it takes.

Trees fall in the forest,

And loving hearts can break.

Reflections On Persistence:

Good memories are what gets us through the hard times. Our world is full of chaos and many people are feeling anxious. It helps when we can laugh when we are full of pain, some of the time. Looking back on this part of my life, helps me laugh.

REFLECTIONS OF A MINDFUL HEART AND SOUL

While I was growing up, I lived a very sheltered life. I had lived in four different agencies that cared for children by the time I was eighteen. My social skills were limited and I had never traveled anywhere until I entered college.

In college, I was fortunate in finding  work while I attended school. I learned how to spend money on root beer floats and hamburgers. I didn’t have a car and most students who lived in the dorms  stayed on campus for lack of transportation. We became a close-knit community out in the middle of no where, far from the rest of civilization.

As a freshman, our stately institution created an initiation for the first year students. It was called “Fish Week.” I had to wear a dorky looking cardboard hat on my head that stayed in place with an elastic string that rested under the chin. Trust me, it…

Where Did The Good Times Go?

Good times, good values, grief, life changes., Pinterest photo-The rain., Pinterest photo-Vicente Romero., poetry by Yu/stan/kema

I miss seeing people smile,                                  

Found on Pinterest on 5-30-17. Painting of Vicente Romero. Polly Weitering Art Paintings.

Taking the time to help each other,

Sitting down at the kitchen table,

And complimenting one another.

 

I miss seeing children read,                                    

Playing outside in the sunlight,

Laughing so hard they cry,

And walking together at night.

 

I miss children saying hello, 

Gathering flowers for the old,

Asking questions about God,

And sharing mittens when it’s cold.

Found on Pinterest on 5-8-16. The rain.

 

What happened to this world                               

 When we all fell asleep?

Technology took control,

And all we do is weep.

It’s Raining In My Heart.

grief, Loss of a friend., Nature can comfort us., Pinterest photo-Myriam-Kemper.de., poetry by Yu/stan/kema, sorrow, We always have a choice.

The rain falls gently in

The early morning light. 

A wall of gray clouds

Keeps the sun out of sight.

 

Rain drops sound like                              

Found on Pinterest on 5-15-17. Myriam-Kemper.de

Tiny little feet

Dancing on the surface

Of my window seat.

 

The rain hits me hard 

In the center of my heart.

Nothing is the same

When a friendship falls apart.

 

Storm clouds block

The sun from getting in,

Because my soul knows,

I’ve lost my best friend.

 

Rain can comfort us,

Or it can cause great pain. 

It can change our history,

Where nothing feels the same.

 

We can decide to leave,

Or we can choose to stay,

Knowing the pain inside

May never go away.
