Romantic Notion  eh?  Dreaming!
After The Rain
I Sing Again
After The Rain
I Live Again

The Rain, The Rain, The Rain

The Flood of Tears
Have Disappeared
From The Tide
Of Constant Fears
Suddenly
Your Sunny Day
Will Stay

After The Rain
I Sing Again
After The Rain
I LOVE AGAIN

The Rain, The Rain, The Rain

Comes Delight in the Night
When the Day is Done
There is drop sheet of stars
That Sparkle on High
And the  Moon is in Sight
In the blanket show of Sky
There is a Silence
You can not miss
To reminisce in
If you wish to remember
What transpired that Day
Or choose you may
To listen to your Heart
Beating Softly
An Ode in The Dark.

My Heart Awakens every day
Desiring to express in some way
A few thoughts that Occur  
About the coming Dawn
Like the Happy Birds
Singing before the Sun
Kisses the Sky and Beyond
Moments like these
Then pump through  
Every part of my Being My Body
Slowly Seeping into my  Brain
Dare they Refrain
Until I feel attuned
To all that surrounds me
Is flowing fully Within me
Truly it is lovely
Natures Song
Then Equips me
To set about my Path Daily
Glad I am part of Life's Throng.

Lost in  time and space eh! Life Happens only Time heals some wounds or you accept it is what it is and work with it eh.
You travel time and space
Show me your lovin' face
I hear your voice - breathe you in
Then you disappear again

Sometimes you shout and wake me up
Its cruel and sends me into shock
I rise to show I truly care
Acknowledge always you are there

Dream Talker or Heart Stalker
What do you want from me?
If you can not hang around
Then let my soul be free!

You really love my playful moon
That spirits us across my room
We dance and I hope we never stop
Till I hear Goodbye Love - I'm Off!

I often wonder will there be a day
You walk into my life
Instead of playing our mind games
Throughout the night!

Dream Talker or Heart Stalker
What do you want from me?
If you can not hang around
Then let my soul be free!

Please remain tender and warm
Pierce not with cruel thorns
For I am a Rose Bud ready to bloom
Happy to bloom next to You

So beautifully
Nurtured by Love

When I truly listen to my Heart
I hear the words Fly under the Radar
Not so my life can not be detected
Wherever I  Journey
It just  means I need to Maintain
A certain degree of Privacy
For Myself, Close Friends and firstly Family

It does not mean I do not care
About what  occurs beyond me
I have just chosen a Pathway
Where it is possible
To Nurture Emotional Security
Involving being far more aware
Of the  Duty of Care
I have for  Myself  
And the True Loves
Of Life Daily.

I finally realize that all our Days are numbered and I choose not to be swept away by certain distractions so I can   Live up to my own Responsibilities/Purpose and that involves primarily the exchanges between Family and Close Friends.  Beyond this  I do experience Other exchanges however I am far more aware not to be drained of all kinds of Energy/Resources that I need to Maintain my own Reality.  I count too as we all do and I do what I am able for others after I see to things in my own Family & Community(where I actually Live).
Be still my Friend
Relax its okay
Allow your Heart
To have its way...

In the Beauty of Silence
Feel your Flame
Peace in your Heart Today

Though the Seas get rough
And the Storms are tough
Tune out from beyond
Then hear Your Song...

In the Beauty of Silence
Feel your Flame
Peace in your Heart Today

There you go
Now you Know
Your World you see
Is how you want it to be...

In the Beauty of Silence
Feel your Flame
Peace in your Heart Today

Ride the Tides
With love inside
Peace lives On
Yes On and On...

In the Beauty of Silence
Feel your Flame
Peace in your Heart Today.

Heart Desire For All!
Do you want to smell the Flowers

Be in the moments of each day

Receive beauty life offers

And experience your own bouquet



Where do you draw in such fragrance

In a World of many concerns

Simply search your heart My Friend

Look beyond the twists of fern



As the hedge that surrounds Your Sanctuary

Grows a little out of control

Then prune it back carefully

Your Flower needs to be on show



To other beautiful Flowers

That bloom all around

Grateful for Inspiration

In fertile ground!

My Voice
Longs to State
It is possible to Escape
From within a  Daze
Of a  Deadly Maze
When Doctored up
With  lots of Love.  

To be sure I listen
Hear my own words
I will shout  them clearly
For what it is worth
My truth that I am still
Here today
Because I want
To be restored
In a precious way.

Although  grief of loss
And trauma unsettles me
Willing I am
To  overcome
All kind of pain
To at least try
To  feel okay again.

Here I Am
I would now
Like to Exclaim
That My Heart Beats
And My Lungs sing
On Pure oxygen
To protect My Body
And  My Brain
From being  Afraid
Of the Happenstance
In every day.

If it is true you are what you eat
Is it true then you are who you  live with
Befriend or work alongside?
I've been really wondering lately
Hopefully not in a  judgemental sense
Simply because I am just glad
Not to be entangled all the time
In certain connections
By keeping aware
Of the Freedoms in Choice
Live A Purposeful  Life!

Your Hand felt Warm
Bed Side in ICU
Even though You
Didn't Look like You
Strapped up on
Life Support
A Dialysis Machine
Catheters and Drips
Surreal  The Scene

The essence though
Of who You are
Was not far
You were there
As we all cared
Be there for You
Holding On
As You Fight
A Fight
We know you can
A Breakthrough

Hold On!

Am I renovating
Or letting go
Of All
I no longer need?

Is this a Dream
Or an emotional Scene
Deciding what to Toss
Then  Box?

Will  New Paint and Tiles
Erase A sense of Time
And Memories of Mind
In this space called Home?

After 20 years
Is it possible to face
All kinds of  Fear
Especially Change?

Or will I simply
See this process through
To experience
Something New?

I prefer to  Concede
My ongoing thoughts
Will eventually reveal
What will BE!

It amuses me how I often thought of the Colour Green
As simply Hue stained leaves that dressed the Trees
Or Carpeted parts of the Earth
Like Seas of Turf
Also taking Flight
In the Sky
Certain Birds
Distinctly Green
And a number of Reptiles
With such a Glow
However now I know
In our World
When Human Beings Create
They may tap into the Stream
That Flows Green....

Mosaïque de vert

Cela m’amuse comment j’ai pensé souvent à la couleur verte
Simplement comme teinte coloré des feuilles qui habille les arbres
Ou des parties de la moquette des mers comme terre de gazon
En prenant le vol dans le ciel
Certains oiseaux
Distinctement vert
Et un certain nombre de Reptiles
Avec un tel éclat
Mais maintenant je sais
Dans notre monde
Quand créer des êtres humains
Ils peuvent puiser dans le flux
Les coulées vertes....

When stung by a certain pain
For a second you are almost  insane
However you  quickly  figure out
Not to bottom out
By choosing to see what you need to
In  a different light
Like wisely surrender from the fight
Long enough to remember
It is not your battle
So why take it on
Move On!
Out of Silence
Time to Explore
New Chapters
Different Doors

Nothing to lose
Only Gains
Moving beyond
Fanciful Games

A lighter load
To Carry
Awake Now
Will not Tarry

No need to run
Just dance and smile
And have some  fun
Happily in the Sun.

Everyday there is  New Sky
With Cloud Adornments
Where Thunder  may Choose to Speak
Or Rain  Decides it will Tumble Down

Sun may Shine and Hide
In a patch of Blue
Or  burst  Cloud
With Rainbows

Comes Nightfall
Near or Far
A Symphony of Stars
And a Moon of many Phases

24/7
I LOVE the Heavens
And all the Treasures
To Eye Spy.

My Weakness is no longer an Obstacle
And this sense of loss is not true
It was manufactured over time
Ensued....

From what I thought could be
Was simply not a  reality
No confirmation of knowing
Deceiving....

Frightened by an Avalanche
I witnessed in a Dream
Clearly revealed the Barricade
I needed to See....

Life is for Living
Living I will
With a purpose of Love
Endure!

Love & Be Loved & Truly Share That Knowing!
Debra Lea Ryan Sep 2016
Je suis profondément étonné et me sens fuyais
Parce que je suis en train de comprendre
Pourquoi Quelqu'un que je considérais comme un ami
Je pensais que j'interféré avec les choix dans leur vie.

Ils ont fini rapidement notre contact
Après ce mois d'un heureux semblait amende honorable
C'est vrai qu'ils avaient brutalement déconnectée une fois avant
Et je devais les laisser revenir dans ma vie à nouveau
Respecté cette étape qu'ils avaient pris
Sur leur chemin de récupération!

Émotionnellement, cela est difficile à manipuler deux fois en un an
Donc, je me demande maintenant fait qu'ils ont un agenda caché
Ou une crainte valable comme ils ont discuté de notre amitié avec les autres
Au lieu de Together. Pourquoi?

DLR
03/09/2016

Why?
I am deeply stunned and feel shunned
Because I am trying to understand
Why Someone I considered a Friend
Thought I interfered with the choices in their life.

They quickly ended  our contact
Following what seemed months of  a happy amends
That’s right they had  rudely disconnected once before
And I had let them back in my life again
Respected this step they had taken
On their Path of Recovery!

Emotionally this is  difficult to handle twice  in one Year
So I am Wondering now did they have a hidden agenda
Or a valid Fear as they discussed our Friendship with Others
Instead of  Together.  Why?

Out of the Silence I listened to my Heart Speak yes it was wounded and I wanted to express it.  I often keep all the pain to myself however it doesn't pay rent, I've let it out and I am getting on with living the life of Love I Love Living....
It is kind of liberating
Not being flowery
Minding Ps and Qs
Inside of You.

When waves of strife
Crash upon the keel
Equipped I Am
At the Wheel
I flag peace
To Still My Sea
Anchor Safely
Within my being!

If Dark clouds
Block my view
I search
The compass
Of My Mind
Even work overtime
To navigate a new course
Away from the gale force!

Sailors resting on the land
Put themselves to a test
When they hear my SOS
Ready and able
To give a hand
They plot Fearlessly
A Rescue in destructive Sea
Deep and Dark
Beyond me!

Experience an Emotional Breakthrough
