I faced the rain
And met the pain
I braved the night
Intent to fright

I stayed through gales
Whispered false tales
Weathered the storm
Battered, withdrawn

Wilted in light
Burnt, cut to blight
I stood firm ground
Resilience found

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Waterlily

waterlily1

Clouds collect a dream

Float in water

Flow into stream

Ripples of the song

That play over

All the day long

A vision in the mind

Mirrors worlds

Seek to ever find

Texture

A place of texture
The river’s fallen rain
The moss cover stones
Torrents, in the fast lane

The trees tempered bark
The leaves fallen to ground
The every morning dew
The grass grown all around

The rocks on the banks
That glisten smooth in sun
That shines in the waters
Until the moon beam comes

Straight Lines

Reach on up to the sky
Peace stream from on high
From heaven to mind’s eye

Breathe deep the salty air
Soothing inner despair
Leaving no woes or care

Wind force my thoughts domain
From every holding claim
Clear my mind, hold this frame

Weekly Writing Challenge: Flash Fiction

Path to a Dream

The paths lead to high rockery beds
Under azalea trees of pink pompom heads

The higher the paths the clearer the views
Of rolling mountains and snow tops too

Walk downward through daffodils, snowdrops on display
The lower paths yield to colours that pave the way

In a carpet of yellow, a half-moon seat
Under trees and patterns a glorious treat

The steps direct to mountains and skylines of blue
The windy path, to a fountain of quiet will do

With a field and a gate that entices the feet
To a hidden tarn in the summer heat

With tall grasses, a stillness, reflections, so calm,
And swans watch as the sun beams down to charm

An abandoned shack once had a boat
That glided the water and slowly did float

Where you and I could have slept the night
The full moon would have glistened and beamed so bright

Tourmaline Sky

Wondrous sky that gleams
With colours that beam
Of pink tourmalines

To cleanse round the soul
Put stresses on hold
Comfort you whole

Drink in evening array
As earth reflects away
A gift to display

Garden of Peace

  magnolia

To feast the day long
Open wide my heart
To ethereal song

Eyes engage to see
The light inside the dawn
The possibility

Beam of true colours
The gateway to heaven
Is found here in others

The path seems so real
The garden on earth, here,
Today, in how I feel

Only now I do tell
Mind, printing paradise
Carries peace where I dwell

Silk Petals

Pansy

 

 

Silk petal detail
Like a bridal veil
In a fairy tale

Luxuriant care
As delicate as air
Flows finely with flare

Beauty, entirely
Of voile ivory
The garden’s finery
