Many eons have passed Countless moons have gone by But nothing really changes In that blink of an eye The world dashes past We long for respite Our lives rush through the years We can’t give up the fight So let’s pause for a breath Let’s gaze at the stars And remember our source For it will always be ours Acknowledge your Angels Call on them each day Be thankful and grateful For their help on the way. ©Jane

Acknowledge Your Angels
We experience the possibility And consider the credibility Then we look to dependability And some reliability When we discover the profundity And experience the complexity We consider feasibility Or look to plausibility But we think with curiosity And imagine reciprocity When it happens instantaneously We proclaim incredibility We wonder at improbability And pronounce incredulity For this awesome probability But it’s only serendipity! Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely. ©Jane Nov 10, 2010

Serendipity
Hello my friends hello It is nice to see you today When will we be ready to understand That we cannot treat her that way It is imperative that we learn right now No more waiting for another day If we give up and do nothing at all Then we have given our rights away We need to start treating her right We need to give her a chance What can you do for your mother Consider the ramifications in advance No other thing is more important But that you do this now It is not just an activist's dream With grace we can take a bow To treat the earth with due respect And show her that we really care Anonymous donations to the landfill Will not bring her out of despair She will not listen if we scream She cannot understand the creeping ills But she will know that all is not lost When abundance begins to charm the hills We walk along and do not listen We clear the paths and open the doors And she has begged us not to enter But no one listens anymore We each are given all the chances We take for granted all the perks It is within our power to make it better Just stop and listen to Mother Earth Keep the days in natural lifelines Don't depend on false belief Treat her like your life depends on it And know your quest will bring relief ©Jane April 6, 2007

Mother Nature
I love the sounds of seagulls and I know why It makes me think of special days gone by Early morning walking thru the dunes Listening to them ‘singing’ all their tunes Racing the surf, jumping waves and building castles With those gulls flying low with all their chatters They glide by with eagle eyes and notice all Just in case a wee morsel of food might fall The countless hours we lay upon the beach Listening to every little screech They came and looked at us and then Decided they were not into our Zen And when the ocean winds begin to blow And gusts of air move in with every flow These creatures catch the air and soar along And keep us all alerted with their song And now I close my eyes and take a breath And feel the sea air in my chest I hear the rise and fall of seagull sounds When they frolic in the air of coastal grounds ©By Jane Jan 16, 2011
