American I am a writer who has travelled the path of life a great deal. I use what insights I've managed to accumulate during that sojourn. / / My blog is: http://davidsjolander.tumblr.com / / My work can also be found at http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/David2011/632197/
I am serene I feel as though I've finally found That special formula in life For which I have been searching... I am serene I feel spirtually aware I am connected I am at peace... I am serene At last, my life is coming together As it was supposed to From the beginning... I am serene All is right with my world I've arrived at a point at which I am feeling satisfied... I am serene At last, I have found my truth The truth that I have sought I am serene.

I am serene
Like blades of grass Each is unique Despite differences in appearance Each does, important words, speak... The assembly of the parts Makes up a whole object Whose abilities reach beyond What one might expect By observing each part seperately... Thus, the lawn health and pleasing Tensions and concerns, easing Each blade performs its duty To enhance the lawn's enduring beauty... Each of us in the human breed Helps fulfill the every need Of a world of unique individuals Finding great residuals Like the lawn.

The Lawn
I wonder at your beauty, strong Your height tells me you've stood there long Your beauty protrudes from limbs so grand Providing cover where you stand... You glisten in the morning dew As the sky does lighten A mother robin does joins you, true Upon your sturdy arms, which, do her brighten... Your provide such shelter From the helter-skelter For creatures, such as squirrels and possums Above the wildflowers' lovely blossoms... Now and then, a cat does race To, frantically, its quarry chase And, bird do find your crown Helpful as they look around... Sometime ago, you were but a shoot Which could have been stomped underfoot Now, you show your majesty By having grown into a tree.

Majesty
As I, in the forest, stood Pondering nature's wonder I peered up at the canopy, so lush and green Of which, I dallied under... Hopping through the foliage That stretched across the ground A chipmunk hurried to a log And alit upon it with a bound... Underneath the stratosphere High atop a tree A large black crow, I did hear Calling down to me... Proceeding to the beach, so warm My feet, prints in the sand, did form As I dug in with my toes, I felt the sun, so warm My mood was of repose... Seagulls, high above, did play Hunting, calling, all the day Upon the evening tide Bubbles of white foam did ride... The summer felt just like a friend Although, I knew, it, soon, would end My visit to this paradise Concluded in a way, so nice... I knew I would return, again To the shores of Lake Michigan.

The Shores of Lake Michigan
Some say that they bet That by using the net Your literacy, you can forget... However, if I might Let me give some insight That, by using a website, You read and you write And, it's ecologically green to write on your screen... So, the next time that you Hear them speak of I.Q. You can reply to them, yet That, by using the net You're helping the bees By saving their trees... With no paper swarming There's less global warming And, you're gaining education From a source of information Which is virtually limitless.

A Greener Way
A true friend is one who is always on your side     One in whom you can confide     One who will never you betray     One who is still with you at the end of the day... A true friend helps you in your hour of need     A true friend is of a special breed     A true friend does not, upon your sorrow, feed... Such a person is, in our world, rare     A person with whom you can lay your feelings bare     A person who, of you, always speaks well     A person who would never your honor, sell     A person, to whom you're high on the list     A person who, upon your welfare, does insist     A person who, never doth you smite     A person who is loyal both day and night... A true friend is a priceless asset.

A Priceless Asset
You began as a dream Dreamt by leaders with vision Evolving to surpass All of man's wildest ambition... With adventurous men Like Shepherd and Glenn You stubbornly strove To prove, once again Beyond any doubt That bounderies could be broken... Despite mishap and fire Alas, you did inspire A generation to dream... From Mercury to Apollo The world, it did follow Your steady pace To Tranquility Base... Via Viking and Voyager Your efforts did prove That exploration of the universe Was well on the move... To Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune... You tenaciously endeavored To, your accomplishments, festoon... Your progress was sure As you strove to endure The incessent chatter Of the grossly short-sighted Their nonsense did clatter Proving they were poorly enlightened... With untold discoveries Like non-stick surfaces and airtight seals Through your numerous breakthroughs You've shown us how it feels To live better... From Columbia to Hubbel You've saved us great trouble In our daily lives... With your Space Station mission You've shown the same vision And, continue to lead in gaining cognition Of our universe... Lead on, great adventurers Lead on.

To The Adventurers
The day dawns... Leaves blanket the lawns... Fresh coffee emits it fragrant scent... One wonders where the nighttime went... A white gauze covers the sky... A reminder that winter is neigh... Whatever the cause... It brings to me pause... My love will soon alight... Displaying her broad smile, so bright... I am moved by her boundless love... As though she had come directly from above... When she enters in... I know that her joy is geniune... Her docile air... Her lovely hair... Her bright glee... At meeting me... These are all warming to my heart... As the new day we start... Her sincere grattitude... Improves my attitude... Toward the world... I am in Heaven.

Heaven
She is beautiful She is blustery She brings pleasant scents and delicious tastes... She comes every year Her captivating colors Her exciting sports... Her cool breath comforts me... Her array of hues enchants me... Her wonderful perfume entices me... She is unique No other is her equal... She is autumn.
