I sit and watch as the night rolls in
Fireflies are dancing in the trees
Frogs are croaking in the creek
It's a beautiful June Night

Fireflies always show up at the first of June
I counted down the days
When I knew that they would be here soon
The flashing on and off of their yellow lights
It's Christmas in June when they fly around my pine

I sit in the dark and watch the show
When the night grows darker there is the moon glow
Add the stars and it's a glorious sight
Thank you God for this beautiful June night
The trouble with Hello Poetry
Is that I fall in love daily
Held under so many captivating spells
moulded and crafted by all walks of life
I find myself longing for all of you
the broken, the fallen, the bruised
the saints, the sinners
the righteous, the dispossessed
the holy, the unholy
all meet here
to speak of life
as they feel it
as only we know it.
Onwards, upwards
Downward spirals
kindness, cruelty
crashing through boundaries
bounding across oceans
carried on wistful sighs and broken dreams
The trouble with Hello Poetry
Is that it breaks my heart
Then brings me back to love again
All within an hour.

Dawn and Dusk a mystery to us
The changing of the color of the sky
How the sunlight shines only on the tree tops
It's majestic and pleasing to our eyes

At dawn the sky flows from gray to orange to blue
At dusk from blue to orange to black
The brush strokes a combination of all the great artist of the past
The mystery leaving memories that last

The dawn sunlight first touches the top of trees
At dusk the sunlight does a repeat
Like some religious experience
Dawn and dusk gives the appearance of being blessed

Dawn has a calm and tranquility about it
The sun rises; the beginning of something new
Dusk  shows up for an encore performance
The sun sets; enhances you with beauty before it rest

Life is poetry! I take what I see; what I feel and what I read;
listen to my heart and let it flow.
This is not a poem; just my notepad.
My life has taken flight and there is no time to stop so here I will jot. 
 My Ideas:

1. I don't care how long it takes me but I'm going somewhere beautiful
2. Summer time;  I saw my first firefly the other night
3.Everything starts with a dream
4.Poem about driving
5.

Be the reason that someone smiles today
Be the reason that everything is going to be OK
Be the reason that someone has a great day

I like looking out at the hills and the green trees
Seeing the blue skies and the popcorn clouds
I like nature and feeling free

I like the smell of pine trees and fresh cut grass
and the fragrance of honeysuckle
I like nature and feeling free

I like walking in the woods all alone
Sometimes I sit down, waiting for something to come along
I like nature and feeling free
