.. ..Pardon me for the length...but had to say it....

Sentimental Shakedown

'Welcome to my world'….
'The Memory Garden',
Where, I share the 'Gifts from the heart'…
A 'Buffet of beauty'…, a 'Bucket of joy'..
A 'Box full of poems'….,from a 'Poetic Palette'…
All 'Reflections'…'Ink from another's pen'….
From the 'Pages of the past'…

This is just a 'Flashback'…
'Totally archeological'…
Just tracing 'The poet's path'….

'Once upon a time'…
I asked my 'Angel on tippy-toes'…
'Mom, what will I be?'…
'How much further must I go?'…
'Just how lucky can I get?'…
'When?,,,tell me when..'
For, 'Seeker I am'…
With the 'Spirits of the quest'…
'Chasing shadows'…
To get to know the 'Boomerangs of life'…

Said she, 'My Darling Daughter'…
'My Precious Child'…
'As long as there's a mountain'…
'You always have a choice'…
'Start where you are'…
Open a 'Window to your world'…
'Shhh!…', 'Don't blink..'
'Tomorrow smiles for thee'…

Always 'He's making rounds',
'Building bridges…reaching out',
'Going the Extra Mile…'
'Changing….rearranging'
Giving us a 'Harvest of angels'…
'A Rare Bouquet'…, 'Soft and tender'…

My mind is but a 'Blank wallpaper'…
'I'm but the Sculptor's clay'…
But ' Wisdom of a child' knew
I was ready for a 'New Rendezvous'..
To hear the 'Angel Chorus'…
To hear 'Life's Songs'…
To receive 'The Greatest Gift'!!!

'Sun sets…to rise again'…
'An ocean of emotion…set adrift'…
I wait in 'Deep Surrender'…
'Counting my blessings'…
'I want to feel'…'Freedom's hues'...
For I know now…
'Freedom is not free'…
I send out my plea 'Straight to God's ears'….

I hear the 'Whispering winds'…
I watch the 'Cotton Candy Clouds'…
Ah!….Here stands 'A moment in time'…
'While God stood watch'…
'He speaks and I listen'…
'He built a bridge'…
'He anchors me'…'I am in his hands'…

'Painting Life with my words'….
'Weaving our friendship'…
Creating a 'Circle of Friendship'…..
'A Sacred Circle'….

Now, 'It goes without saying'…
We are 'Beary Beary Good Friends'…
Singing to each other….
'You Are My Night'…
'You Are My Morning'….
'Love me like there's no tomorrow'…
'Forever And Ever And Ever'…
Thank you 'Poets A to Z'
For without you, I would have simply gone to z z z z z!!!!!


(Thank you, Dear Marge...for the 'direct' inspiration...)

This is fantastic, amigo!!! You've obviously been prowling through the archives, pondering the blessings that flow from this lady's pen... and you've created a beauty all your own! Wonderful work!
