Sorrow felt by both of us
Heartache only God can heal
As I whisper across the wind
"I can feel your pain and sorrow
Come, I love you dearly
We feel the same pain
And the wounds on our hearts
Have shed the same blood
Perhaps we can both
Comfort each other
As we feel the same pain"
Loving minds remember
And hearts open with love and mercy
Compassion how I strongly feel
And my heart goes out to you
Sorrow felt by both of us
I truly feel your pain
And though my words
Humble though they be
I hope you will in them
Comfort and solace find
To make your heart heal
For there is an everlasting peace
That comes from above
I hope you understand,
My dear one
That I feel your pain
This sorrow felt by both of us
And one day
We will see
Our loved ones again
God promises that
Rainbow promises
Breathed on a rose scented air
Sorrow felt by both of us

Watching the snow fall
In thick white lacy feathers
They look so fluffy and soft
But to the touch they're cold
And they melt instantly in your hands
They sadly, turn into a puddle of water
The clouds are full of snow
And it keeps falling from the sky
So beautiful and innocent
It never stops, not even for a minute
Fall, fall, little snowflakes
Fall, little snowflakes from the sky
Your beauty makes me happy
It's sends a thrill to my poetic imagination
Fall, fall, joyous snowflakes
I am so happy to see you today
When I woke up this morning
I was so pleased and surprised
To see some slight flurries
Outside my bedroom window
But now it's increased
To a heavy downpour
Of feathery snowflakes
Keep on falling
I'm so glad to see you here
You make me glad and joyous
Just to see that you are near
I am so happy and pleased
Just to watch you
Falling from the sky
The clouds are holding your beauty
Sprinkling it like Fairy dust
Down, down, down to the earth
And I am so happy
Just to be sitting here
Quietly and silently
Watching the peaceful snow

*~Marian~

I'm dreaming beside the creek
I'm dreaming of skies with aurora hue
I'm dreaming beside the ocean
Of angels singing and playing their golden harps
I'm dreaming in the forest
Of fairies dancing on the pine needle
And moss carpeted forest floor
I'm dreaming in the woodlands
Of a place where time is eternal
And where wishes come alive
A place where dreams, fantasy, and illusions exist
I'm dreaming in the meadow
Of a world to call my own
Free of pain and sorrow
Where nothing bad or tragic ever happens
And where everything is sheer bliss
And pure magic
I'm dreaming in fields of flowers
Of true love that lasts forever
With no hearts ever broken
Or no tears ever shed
I'm dreaming on the mountain
Of a friend who understands
One whose always there to hold my hand
And tell me it's okay
The one who puts their arms around me
Or offers me a shoulder whenever I cry
I'm dreaming on the shores of time
Of orchestras singing me lullabies
Whenever I feel sleepy or tired
Or perhaps playing a tune to calm me down
Whenever I feel panicky because I'm scared
I'm dreaming underneath a tree
While the sun slants it's rays across my cheeks
Dreaming of everything pretty
Of life calm and cool
Forever tranquil
I'm dreaming of all the things
That make you and me happy
The things that are so pleasant and cheerful
I'm dreaming about you as well
And when I wake up from these
Happy and all-too-short journeys
I wonder, are you dreaming about me too?

*~Marian~

My favorite instrument of all
It seems hard to believe
That I never ever played one
The more I listen to such beauty
The more I long for one of my own
The tender strings being plucked gently
Give me such a thrill when I listen to them
But how I long to play one myself
Instead of listening helplessly
I long to play the Pedal Harp
But have high doubts that I ever will
For they cost too much money
And I doubt I'll ever be
Rich enough to afford one
But I keep on wishing and praying for one
Because I just cannot help
But admire their beauty
Those strings produce
When playing a solo
Or playing a part in an orchestra
I always try to imagine
What it would be like if I could but play one
But I always end up
With a picture as blank as a sheet of paper
When it comes to imagining me
Playing a Pedal Harp

*~Marian~

Pain, pain is all I feel
Sharp, excruciating pain
Pain, pain please go away!
I am so miserable right now
Pain, pain is all I feel
And I cannot stop it
Unless I eat something
So I can have my pain medicine
Pain, pain you're out of my control
Pain, pain if there would be anything
That I could hate, it would be you
You're hurting me, and I cannot stop you
Pain, pain is all I feel
Will it ever stop?

*~Marian~

No tears, I will not allow any tears tonight,
For tonight you are going to be the Queen of Night,
I demand no tears, my girl;
For everywhere you are, happiness doth twirl.
Please do not cry, you looked so sad,
I would much rather almost have you mad,
I cannot stand to see you cry, oh my Mother dear!
But if you do I will transform them into a jade instead of a tear.
Bless you, my girl, my sweetheart dear,
Do not ever shed a tear,
My dear girl, do not cry, I always love you;
Do not ever even feel blue.
Please let me do something for you,
I'll write some poems and give you a hug or two,
Because you deserve all the love I can give;
And if I am the cause, I beg you to me forgive.

I love you, Mommy!

Childhood memories of yore
Drift through my head
As I watch that old tree swing
Many a Summer ago
I would swing there as a child
But now I am a grownup woman
But my children swing there now
Lovingly I watch
That old tree swing
And memories fond
Fill my mind
Like the rustling breeze
Making that tree swing
Rock back and forth

* * * * * * * * * * * *
My Mother is dead
And now as we fond children recall
How she loved to swing
Upon the tree swing
That is not there anymore
The tree was cut down yesterday
And the swing was destroyed
Vanishing with the swing
Are the happy golden memories
Of many happy days
Spent as children
Swinging upon the swing
That is now destroyed
Along with our Mother's
Childhood home

**~Marian~

Pigeon sweet and Pigeon dear
Got shot with an arrow through his heart
I held him close, tightly against my breast
Cradling him in my arms
Until Pigeon sweet and Pigeon dear
Closed his eyes for the last time
Death had come and taken him away
Softly and tenderly I kissed his feathery head goodbye

*~Marian~

I shall never forget that day
When we walked hand and hand along
Beauty of it ne'er fades away
I shall never forget that day
The memory of it shall stay
Singing in my mind some sweet song
I shall never forget that day
When we walked hand and hand along

*~Marian~

Right before the thunderstorm
Clouds of grey line the sky
The breezes stir even a little
And rustle through the tall, tall pines
Leaves are scattered on the ground
The scent of rain fills the air
The stifling hot summer day
All of a sudden cools off
The wind picks up
And the sky is black with rage
Green leaves and twigs and small branches
Are flying through the air
Lightening flashes vibrantly
And thunder follows right behind with a crash
That ear splitting "boom" makes me jump and cringe
Rain suddenly pours from the heavens
And it roars upon the roof
Raindrops wash the porch
Of any dust or summer dirt
The ground tries its best to drink the rain
Yet still leaves puddles all around
The sun shines and then fades again
And the sky turns blackish-bluer still
Until that familiar sound of thunder
Startles me and makes me frightened
Thunderstorms are dark, yet lovely
And scary, yet beautiful
I guess I like thunderstorms
But just am afraid of them

Winter Again

The bitter air stings my face
And I can see my breath;
Only the birds of Winter remain,
The others have flown South.

Flowers remain asleep,
As the Arctic winds rage.
The only green trees
Are those mighty firs.

Snow and ice have
Rained upon the gardens.
Autumn shades are gone,
Winter has taken the lead.

Winter is such a joy,
When snowflakes kiss your cheeks;
And cling to your hair,—
Oh how I love Winter!

The lake is frozen in ice
And trees are bent over in snow.
At night the wolves howl to the moon
Complaining of the cold.

Silence and long dark months,
And waiting for Spring to dawn.
Slowly daylight lengthens,
And the air grows warmer.

Then on one day,
I ventured outside.
I saw Spring had arrived,
And Winter had flown away.


Timothy and Marian

Hiver à nouveau

L'air amer pique mon visage
Et je peux voir mon souffle ;
Seuls les oiseaux de l'hiver restent,
Les autres ont volé vers le sud.

Fleurs restent endormis,
Comme la rage des vents arctiques.
Les arbres verts uniquement
Sont celles des sapins puissants.

Neige et glace peuvent
Fit pleuvoir sur les jardins.
Nuances de l'automne ont disparu,
Hiver a pris les devants.

L'hiver est une telle joie,
Quand les flocons de neige embrassent tes joues ;
Et s'accrochent à vos cheveux, —
Oh comme j'aime hiver !

Le lac est gelé dans la glace
Et les arbres sont repliées dans la neige.
Dans la nuit, les loups hurlent à la lune
Se plaindre du froid.

Silence et mois longue et sombres,
Et en attente de printemps à l'aube.
Lentement la lumière du jour s'allonge,
Et l'air devient plus chaud.

Puis sur un jour,
Je me hasardai à l'extérieur.
J'ai vu le que printemps était arrivé,
Et l'hiver était envolé.


Timothy et Marian

Зима снова

Горького воздуха укусы мое лицо
И я могу видеть мое дыхание;
Осталось только птиц зимой,
Другие летали Юг.

Цветы остаются спит,
Как арктические ветры ярости.
Только зеленые деревья
Это те могучие ели.

Снег и лед
Дождь на сады.
Осенние оттенки ушли,
Зима взяла на себя инициативу.

Зима-это такая радость,
Когда снежинки поцеловать ваши щеки;
И цепляются за ваши волосы, —
Ох как я люблю зимой!

Озеро замерзает в лед
И деревья наклонился в снегу.
Ночью волки воют на Луну
Жаловаться на холод.

Тишина и длинные темные месяцы,
И ждет весны до рассвета.
Медленно летнее удлиняет,
И воздух теплее.

Затем на один день,
Я решился снаружи.
Я увидел, что пришла весна,
И зимой улетел прочь.

My head aches tonight
My head is pounding with pain
Marian, you okay?

*~Marian~

Even though I sometimes forget to thank you,
Dearest Mom, I appreciate all you do,
For the meals you make;
And for the bread you bake.
Mother dear, I appreciate all you do,
From morning 'til afternoon and evening too,
Though you're tired, you never complain;
And, dearest Mom, I wish to be the same.
For whenever you are near,
There is nothing that I fear,
Dearest Mom, I hope you always know;
How much my love for you doth flow.

*~Marian~

I'm hoping all your wishes will come true
I hope your day will be perfection sweet
May you have lots of cake and ice-cream too
I'm hoping all your wishes will come true
For such a sweet and lovely Dad as you
I'm hoping lots of friends you'll make and meet
I'm hoping all your wishes will come true
I hope your day will be perfection sweet*

*~Marian~

I wish you all a Merry Christmas!
