Natural Thoughts

people reflecting nature
and it’s cycles ~
nature skipping in a person’s walk…

as it is, as it is…

a despondent period is nothing more
than the sun hiding
for a little while
behind a cloud

just a little while….

preparing rainbows

for behind every cloud lies
a silver lining

‘tis true….a promise….

as it is, as it is….

not-so-great days are nothing more
than the earth receiving some rain
to replenish the sources
of life-giving waters

drink deep

and know that neither
you or the skies
cry in vain

for in giving of ourselves
even in tears
we are able
to receive

as it is, as it is….

wonderful days are a culmination
of all that is right in both worlds
a person’s world
in nature’s world

enjoy, and sing

and rejoice a little more…

as it is, as it is….

then when the sun comes again
the rainbows will appear
in the aftermist of rain

all forces working together

then when your smile comes again
making twinkling eyes appear
in the aftermath of tears

all forces working together

if you believe…

and if you don’t believe,
why not? You may….

for it is as it is, as it is….

Sunshine,
Let me be the first to say, excellent.
Sometimes you almost fly out of sight. *L*

Thank you for sharing this compassionate piece, it really blessed me today.

"as it is, as it is…."

indeed wise poetess of the sun ... indeed.
very cool write K ...
and put me down for an echo of Sy.



When you see thru loves illusion, theres the danger
your perfect lover looks like a perfect fool
you go running off in search of a perfect stranger

Very prophetic and optimistic way of looking at life and nature, this has almost an eastern quality about it, I enjoyed it very much, Thanks for sharing.

Regards,
Olias.
