Rejuvenating Sleep
Elaina Oct 2023
My sleep is healing and renewing.    
            Slumbering contently,
I am wrapped, in peaceful comfort
               and divine safety.
         Every part of my being....
  is rejuvenating and preparing me,
                 for the glorious,
                       new day.
Each night in preparation for the day to come.

Where Oh Where Did They Go?
Elaina Jun 2020
Longing for just the right words
Finding them tucked away
Go to write them down
But...
Umm....
The memory just isn't what it used to be.
Some of my best poems are the ones that slipped away.... ;)

Elaina Dec 2017
It's been a while
Life's been good, been kind, been blessed

Words with meaning.
Elaina Apr 2017
I am the winds whistling in the red canyon.
I am the whites of the hard-boiled egg.
I am the pupil in the eye of the fly.
I am the time moving slowly.
I am the depths of Earth.
I am the fur of the cat.
I am ink on paper.
I am a vine.
I am.
I am a vine.
I am ink on paper.
I am the fur of the cat.
I am the depths of Earth.
I am the time moving slowly.
I am the pupil in the eye of the fly.
I am the whites of the hard-boiled egg.
I am the winds whistling in the red canyon.

You see I am alive, I am alive.

I stand in good relation to all living things.
I stand in good relation to my friends.
I stand in good relation to my family.
You see I am alive, I am alive.
This was written by my daughter Danielle when she was in Middle School. A knowing soul.

....
Elaina Nov 2016
What did we miss?
A line in the sand?
Metal in a box?
One's life?

Nothing was missed.
We just didn't see.  
The divide that haunts us.
That won't set us free.

Coming together can unite us.
It's all for the ultimate goal.
For deep down we are all the same.
It's at the surface where we differ.
Elaina Nov 2016
It's just a game, right?
Nope, strong memories, binding love.
Long shared emotions.
For those who know, no explanation is needed.
It's a life time of
Memories
Emotions
Elation
Despair
Together
Forever

These....
Elaina Oct 2016
The mix of life.
For most,

That sudden feeling when....
.... something goes wrong.

The pit of your stomach....
.... drops to your feet.

Your chest tightens in knots....
.... The heart skips a beat, and then another.

Breathing is, well....
.... stop holding your breath!

Yea, you know that feeling....

For Me
Elaina Oct 2014
I like what I do,
it isn't for you.
I do it for me,
it's my special key.

Complex it's not,
and that's what I got.
As long as it's mine,
Simple is fine.

It's the meaning that matters,
emotion on platters.
To air this one's soul,
is my only goal.

This venue provides,
a place with no sides.
It's somewhere to post,
what helps me the most.

So it's time to end,
this one rhyming friend.
Say good bye to the light,
and hello nighty night.
