Light-Hearted is for anyone who needs a break from the tedious rush of everyday life.​

​

 A Rainbow Connection: With eyes of delight, she explores her world. Just being with her is like finding a rare pearl. Her spirit is light, and her touch breaks the seal. Her life, at such a young age, acts as a key to what is real. With eyes full of tears, she expresses her heart. And then, in a moment, she finds a new start. Expecting nothing but to be loved and to love, she is a work of art, just like a rainbow that appears and opens ones heart.

 

Abide in Me: Quiet waters traveling side-by-side, two tributaries much the same yet separate, they abide. Moving toward a hidden source, moving along, they keep their place.  Unencumbered by an uphill course, free to run an individual but united race. Quiet waters travel side by side, much the same yet separate, they abide.

​

An Unknown Treasure:  A crystal window has opened in me, opening a door, and setting me free. To enjoy this moment, this place in time as more than an outward change, but an inner sign. Leading me to this well within, while mustering the strength to begin. A journey of a lifetime full of treasure unknown, in an adventure, revealed as precious seed sown. A crystal window has opened up in me, and I am drawn to the reflection I see, a woman of substance appearing as a fruitful tree.

​

As I Am: Sensitive about feeling so blue, I looked to the heavens, and there found you. Staying in

the moment, I was awed by the sight that hovered on the eve to make it so bright. Until, all I could think about was loves presence here, in the sunset, the trees, and the stars so clear. Which left me able to accept me as I am, a woman of substance, who says in the midst of the storm, yes I can.

​

Beat the Rush: Turn the coffee on, keep it quiet in here. Take in the news and open yourself up to the blues. Get up, get dressed, put the running shoes on, go to work ad-lib, and play it safe. God forbid anyone knows you are late. You forgot your pen, but it will be all right. Just act like you are happy and that you are having a good night. For its all for the dollar, the overpriced rent, and it is

off work, out the door, go home exhausted and spent.

 

Break Away: Am I as an iceberg sealing off what is new? Am I as a wall of brick, that no one can go through? Or do I shine with the beauty, love brings? Am I as a gray day when it is gorgeous outside? Am I as a frightened kitten always wanting to run and hide? Or do I reflect on the change, a new season brings? Or am I willing to live a life without strings? Am I, as a field of weeds, and wild ferns? Or do I have a heart that still needs to learn?

​

Cactus Flower:  Sweeter than honey, you start my day, full with love and ready to pray. Holding me up like a precious rose, you keep me longing to always be close. Treating me like a precious rose, you keep me longing to remain close. And yet, like old classmates, we lose touch, keeping pace with the rat race, schedules, and such. Until all that is left is to wonder where the time went.

​

Clockworks: Sand dollars in the tide wash in and out. Keeping pace with nothing but the waves in which they reside. Seagulls glide upon an open sky. Seashores change with the rush of power. Lighthouses crumble in this final hour. Days pass into years without notice of the time. Lives remain disconnected and confused without any thought of being kind. Sand dollars move in and out. Lighthouses stand empty on an open shore, Yet there is a cool breeze of refreshment for the one who has become weary and worn.

 

Color Chart: Color me anxious and a bit scared. Then you can color me unprepared; to lay it out in black and white, what I have held onto night after night. And yet, knowing others have played these holiday blues, makes me think we can turn them around with the color we choose. And maybe then, we can change the color chart. Open up to rearrange and make a new start. Forget what is behind

to look ahead. Color each other in 'peace of mind' instead.
