Through an open window
Gentle whispers of a morning breeze
Caress my face with gossamer trails
Punctuated with birdsong

White lilac blooms dance to the tune
Of a tiny seedling once gifted by friends
nurtured and loved to voluptuous form
Now proudly presents her beauty to all.

And so, her gentle perfume
Carried on the breeze, just a hint
To awaken the sense as it passes
Through the open window.

Mysterious shadows cast on the wall
Speaking her language unique
Is she talking to me?
I feel her energy
Pulling me curiously
To observe her beauty.

Misty skies drape around
Her luminous presence
Gossamer trails in fantasy
Entrance the human mind
Spellbound like a child
My Lunar love

Dewy is the grass as we feast our sleepy eyes
Awakened by the sweetest song
the blackbird  fills our heart with cheer
Hope beckons as we take our deepest breath
Oh feel the anticipation of a new dawn!

Laughter fills the day
as we live and love our life
Being is a joy itself,
be still and feel the need.
My heart, my soul do overflow.

Tender is the day as it passes into night
Fiery is the sun as it burns from daytime bright
Into the evening glow, it disappears
From view, over the dusky horizon
Quietness prevails, my heart is full.

Sweet bliss, the joy my heart does feel
As I breath the fresh and dewy air
And birdsong dances on my mind
Relieving thoughts along the way....

A carpet of bronze and gold and green
Softened now by season's toll and
Cushions my path lest I drift
Into quicker pace and spoil the dream

Velvet hills with babbling streams
Skeletal shapes, barren of leaves.
Tumbling rocks and woolly beasts
Rugged land welcomes the brave

Winds caress these emerald heights
Climbing high unto the clouds
Tufted bogs and rough terrain
Undulating tapestry

Summit reached, my heart does leap
I turn, my breath snatched by the view
Thrill of reaching celestial heights
Exhilarated am I, at one with earth
Eileen May Apr 2017
I am quiet, I am still.....
Nothing punctures the peace
That aura of anticipation,
Yet overwhelming spirit of calm

A light breeze then rustles the leaves
Enchanting birds flutter by
As they seek out food
And rest on that source

Sweet caress of the wind
On my face as I look up
Then warm bliss of the sun
As I gaze the clear blue sky
Eileen May Apr 2017
When all around have gone to sleep
And we are so alone
We walk the lonely darkened path
Where we can be with you.
Our thoughts are deep and filled with pain
Yet sweet and light with joy
We think of times gone by when you
Would laugh and cry and sing
Your cheeky smile, those dimples deep
Your shining big brown eyes
We miss you so and cry each day
Our hearts break with our loss.
Dear lovely boy we never knew
Just how many loved you so
Your love of life and those
With whom you shared
Your joy in land so far away.
Your friends are lost,now you are gone
And cry with us in pain,
But eased you're now at peace.
What legacy bestowed on all
Whose lives you touched dear love;
Your music left for all to hear,
Forever in our minds.
Your intellect & research helped
patients, colleagues and more,
Yet searching for your own relief
Escaped you our dear boy.
You chose your exit from this life
And left us all bereft

Now we must go home & try to live
our lives, as you would want us to
But,  we're lost, can't find our path
So others guide our way.
Goodnight dear son, sleep in peace
We love you forevermore.
