Sitting in my rocking chair,
I rock away for ages ~
Pondering the ways of life
And the wisdom of the sages.

As questions go unanswered,
I while away the hours,
Just contemplating my navel
And gazing at the flowers.

While in this reflective mode,
I see through open eyes.
I look beyond the obvious
And peel away the guise.

Nothing is as it seems,
~ There's more than meets the eye!
I look for hidden meanings
As the world goes spinning by.

So, on and on ~ and on I rock,
Just going nowhere fast.
Heading for my future
And leaving all my past.

Darn, I wish we were closer and could rock together. I sit on the porch rockin' away the hours!!

Fabulous write my friend.

Marti, and I bet the view is spectacular from your porch!

Ah, yes! 'Twould be splendiferous if we could while away the hours rocking together sipping tea, commiserating, sharing life's stories ~ and enjoying the presence of a kindred spirit!

Love you, Marti Girl!

That sounds like the way to travel.  I'll come along, shall I?

I can see it now, Marti, Linda, suthern & Jo rocking in our old cain chairs.  I'll make the time if you all make a place!   That would really be grand!  There is nothing like a rocking chair (and using it of course) for rearranging our mindset!  Much enjoyed, dear Earth Angel.  KBHBLY....jo

suthern ~

Don't all southern girls rock on their grand verandas?! lol

It would be a pleasure for you to join Marti, the Pilgrim and I on her porch! I believe her view may be grander than mine. She's in the mountains of New Hampshire!

Hugs to you!

Iza scootin'! ....There! I just made room for you on Marti's porch with a view! Isn't this grand! There is the Pilgrim, the suthern gal, Marti Girl, lily jo and little old Earthy me! Now that is a wonderful collection of poetic kindred spirits!

Love you, Lily One!

"Rock on!"

"We will, we will, Rock you!"

"Rockin' Robin, tweet tweet!" or is it "Rockin' Angel" twiddle-ee-deet.

"Rockin' 'round the clock . . ."

Angel baby - you Rock!

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
