Devil's Elbow
Marian Aug 2013
Why they call it Devil's Elbow,
I don't and never will know,
Because this is the most beautiful place I've seen;
It's so beautiful like a dream.
There are fir trees on the cliff behind the lighthouse dear,
Oh I do so love it here,
A light sheen of mist fills the air around the trees;
The sunset reflects on the sand which blows away in the breeze.
The majestic seagulls walk on the shore and fly in the air,
So freely and happily without a care,
Beautiful waves crash against the boulders in motion;
The seagulls sing a song of the ocean.
The beacon's light guides the ships at night,
Oh the beauty of it's light,
On and on the waves crash and flow;
Oh I love Devil's Elbow!

Everlasting Winter
Marian Sep 2013
Jack Frost visits the world
Turning the once warm earth
To a cold, hard ground
Snowflakes fall from the sky
Turning all the world to a dazzling white
The song of the Celtic Harp rings in my ears
Filling me with a bittersweet nostalgia
Dance with the snowflakes as they fall
Fill the joy bubble and overflow in your heart
When all the world turns cold, dance with the snowflakes
Pine trees and fir trees hang their heads covered in icy snow
Watch the sun as it rises and sinks
Listen to the wind sing a song through the trees
Listen to the song of Winter
And dance to the snowflakes
For there is joy in your heart
Let the sadness melt away
As snowflakes do when it is Spring

Dance to the falling snowflakes
And be as happy as a Fairy
Enjoy the Everlasting Winter

Evening Song
Marian Apr 2013
Dark blue is the Eastern sky
The birds are flying home with their cheery cry
The whipering pines are dancing in the breeze
And the wind is rustling the green leaves
There is a faint sunset in the west
And all the birds are gong home to rest
Dusk shall so soon fade to Night
That's when this poetess dances with delight
With all the Fairies that gather under the Moon
And when sweet breezes blow into my room
The Fairies dance upon the moss-covered stepping stones
While all the birds are sleeping in their homes
I love the songs that the sweet Fairies sing
And all through the Night sky their music rings
They sing of nature and of God
Who made the earth and the warm sod
They sing happily as they weave on their magical loom
And spinkle sweet dreams in my bedroom*

Mamma
Marian Jan 2013
Part 1

I love my Mamma
She is my dear twin sister,
We love each other!

Two little girls
Everyday would play in grass,
Wind blowing their skirts!

Sweet breezes stirring
Would always caress their face,
In the warm sunshine.

Outside in the rain
Raindrops would kiss their fair cheeks,
Two sweet twin sisters.

For my Mamma and dear twin sister, Hilda!
She's on HP too.

A Cold-Rainy Night
Marian Mar 2013
The rain drips pitter patter,
On this bitter cold and rainy night,
Drip drip Pitter Patter;
And this evening there were no sunsets bright.

Heaven's tears washing my window,
It's so cosy inside and so I write,
Tomorrow there on the ground will be snow;
Sparkling with the morning light.

But tonight-. . .

Spring
Marian Nov 2012
I love this time when all the birds begin to sing,
Through meadows, and through the fields the sound rings,
It echos through the glens and the dales loud and clear;
The birds song I can hear!

The buds are just begining to bloom,
No more days of gloom,
The flowers are just begining to bud at my feet;
The bubble of the once frozen creek;
Makes a music that is sweet!

As I am dreming by the creek, Hark!
There is the song of the Meadow Lark,
Spring o' the year,
No more time for sadness its time to cheer!

Cherry Blossoms
Marian Sep 2013
Little pink petals are falling
From the tall, tall cherry trees
Little pink petals land on my cheeks
As I look up into the turquoise sky
They land on beautiful paths
And land sweetly in the green grass
I love sweet Cherry Blossoms
Their beauty is so pristine
Cherry Blossoms are falling
Falling gracefully from the trees

Little Kitty Friends
Marian Nov 2013
Little kitty friends are sweet,
They sometimes rub against my feet,
Little kitty friends make me smile;
And they brighten my every mile.
Little kitty friends are God's blessings from above,
Come to fill this world with love,
Little kitty friends are everywhere;
But remember: do handle yours with care!

A Poem For You
Marian Aug 2014
My smile is ever so slowly ephemeral
My iridescence is becoming opaque
I feel languid from day to day
My broken heart is imbued with pain
There is no elixir for the loss
The hurt is so great at times
My eloquence is laced with somber thoughts
I am efflorescent without my petals
I am demure and brood at night
I feel so woebegone
No one--nothing can take away my pain
I cry tremulous sobs in the corner of my room
By candlelight I pen my tales
My epiphany is heartbreak
Someday I will let go of my pain
But for now I will grieve
And regret the day when I said my last adieu

**~Marian~

Ocean Dreams
Marian Feb 2013
Where pirates used to hunt for gold and burried treasures under the ocean
where waves dash against the beach of time where time is infinite and forever
where time never fades
where palm trees hang their lacy green leaves which provide shade
for all who sit upon this beach and few people live in this tropical paradise
but I sit here on the sandy beach and could forever
seashells all around me lie on this tropical beach
and I am just so content to watch the waves washing against the shore
and I gaze up to the rocky island cliffs which hold the beautiful
lacy palm trees which are my favourite of all
and hibiscus flowers are soaking in the beauty of the bright sun
little fishes beneath the ocean where pink coral and sea-green seaweed grow
while the sunrays hit below the ocean
little mossy pebbles and gems are beneath the pretty ocean
dolphins hop and dive back under the deep blue ocean
there they run and hide to escape the cruel teeth of sharks

*~Marian~
Marian Nov 2012
Part I

Here she lies,
Underneath the cloudless skies,
In the Churchyard full of graves,
Near the frothy- foamy waves.
Dead. . . is everyone that saw her when she died,
The same ones that cared and cried,
Lady Jane Of England.

Here rests her body upon the lap of earth,
Underneath the elm and buried in the turf,
Dead Lady Of England.

Her grave covered with lichens and moss,
And it is true her head she lossed,
Poor Lady Of England.

Always Summer
Marian Sep 2013
Bees buzz lazily
Sweet flowers dance in the meadow
Sunshine dances on the grass
Bluebirds call to each other
I'm sitting under a weeping willow tree
Sipping lemonade
Drinking in the beauty around me
Royal white clouds float in the deep blue sky
Honeysuckles perfume the air
Smell the scent of Summer
And listen to the creek
Its always Summer

Genesis 1
Marian Mar 2013
In the beginning God created the
heaven and earth.
2 And the earth was without form,
and void; and darkness was upon the
face of the deep. And the Spirit of
God moved upon the face of the
waters.
3 And God said, Let there be
light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it
was good: and God divided the light
from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day,
and the darkness he called Night. And
the evening and the morning were the
first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a
firmament in the midst of the waters,
and let it divide the waters from the
waters.
7 And God made the firmament,
and divided the waters which were
under the firmament from the waters
which were above the firmament: and
it was so.
8 And God called the firmament
Heaven. And the evening and the
morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters
under the heaven be gathered
together unto one place, and let the dry
land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land
Earth; and the gathering together of
waters called he Seas: and God
saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth
bring forth grass, the herb yielding
seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit
after his kind, whose seed is in itself,
upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth
grass, and herb yielding seed after his
kind, and tree yielding fruit,
whose seed was in itself, after his
kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the
morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be
lights in the firmament of the heaven
to divide the day from night; and
let them be for signs, and for seasons,
and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the
firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great
lights; the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night:
he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the
firmament of the heaven to give light upon
the earth.
18 And to rule over the day and
over the night, and to divide the light
from the darkness: and God saw that
it was good.
19 And the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters
bring forth abundantly the moving
creature that hath life, and fowl that
may fly above the earth in the open
firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great
whales, and every living creature that
moveth, which the waters brought
forth abundantly, after their kind, and
every winged fowl after his kind: and
God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the
waters in the seas, and let fowl
multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the
morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth
bring forth the living creature after his
kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and
beast of the earth after his kind: and
it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the
earth after his kind, and cattle after
their kind, and every thing that
creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and
God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make
man in our image, after our likeness:
and let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of
the air, and over the cattle, and over
all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth.
27 So God created man in his own
image, in the image of God created
he him; male and female created he
them.
28 And God blessed them, and
God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, nd
subdue it: and have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of
the air, and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have
given you every herb bearing seed,
which is upon the face of all the earth,
and every tree, in the which is the fruit
of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall
be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth,
and to every fowl of the air, and to
every thing that creepeth upon the
earth, wherein there is life, I have
given
every green herb for meat: and
it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that
he had made, and, behold, it was very
good. And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.

Blizzard (Short Poem)
Marian Nov 2012

There's nothing but white,
White. . . . . so pure and light,
It hurts my eye sight!

My friend from Fairyland I love to hug
We walk through the tall blowing grass
While the breezes stirr and swish our skirts
And as we stop by the creek she turns into a Fairy

One so dear, one so sweet
One the Fairies love to greet
One they respect and love to fly in the air with
One they make beautiful clothes for

One they make a crown of rosebuds
And one they especially love to dance with
And one they sing for with voices loud and clear
One they sing a lullaby to at Night

When their beautiful Fairy Queen sleeps
On a pretty soft bed of ferns
They all sing softly to hush her to sleep
And I happily sing with them for my Fairy Queen!

*~Marian~

Sail The Earth
Marian Oct 2013
Sail your ship across the earth,
Rejoicing at the beauty of the earth,
Sail with happiness your ship across the world;
Delight in every flower unfurled.
Stare at the sunsets and watch the sky,
Look at each beautiful cloud way up high,
Sail the earth and the seas;
For time so quickly flees.
Look at the sun and the moon,
For time passes by way too soon,
Sail the earth and tell me what you see;
Let us sail the earth, just you and me.

"I need no stained-glass windows... Just look at the sky...

My Poor Girl
Marian Jul 2014
I promise you, I will try
To make it better
I know I cannot ease your pain
But if I could, I would
I wish I could dry your eyes
And wipe the tears away
Help convince you that it'll be better
Before tomorrow comes
I feel helpless watching you cry
You can always come to me
And sob into my shoulder
Oh, my poor girl
How it hurts me
Seeing you whimper
And watching the tears fall
From beautiful chocolate brown eyes
Why can't I take your physical
And emotional pain away?
If only I could, I would
My poor sweet girl

*~Marian~
For my Mom, Hilda, who was stung by a bee today!! ~~~<3
She was also reminiscing some sad memories
Of her late sister, Joy!!! ~~~~~~<3
I just wish I could take all her hurt away...
And if someone must feel her pain,
Then I would gladly feel it for her....
Just knowing she would feel better
Would make me happy and be my
Greatest reward!!! ~~~~~~~<3
Dearest Mom, what can I do to make you smile? ~~~~~<3
You look so sad...~~~~~~<3
Oh, and Mom, just feel free to cry into me anytime
You want to...just let it all out, just please tell me
If there is something I can do to make you happy again!!! ~~~~~<3

My Tea Drinking Day
Marian Feb 2014
Today is my "tea drinking day"
I am drinking two cups of tea
Watching the dark grey sky
At the window
While drinking two porcelain mugs
Full of steaming, fresh hot tea
The heavenly spices and aromas
Greet my nose and dance to my nostrils
Either I've got a cold
Or the spices are making me sneeze
But it doesn't matter
Because I am happy
On this cold and dreary day
Just sitting in my recliner
Drinking to mugs full of
Hot and steaming fresh tea

*~Marian~
Different from my usual poetry, eh? ;)
Well, anyways, it doesn't matter!!! :P)
I am just so happy today drinking two cups of tea!! (:

And in the other I am drinking Cinnamon Apple Spice
With Vietnamese cinnamon!!! :) Yum!! (:

Can be found from the brand name

Dreamy Eyes
Marian Aug 2013
Mother Nature's dreamy eyes watch the waterfalls empty into the ocean,
She watches the waves crashing in motion,
She watches the lacy green palm trees dance on the sandy shore;
This place remains beautiful evermore.
She watches the sunset fade in the west,
While the birds and animals do rest,
She is beautiful and mild;
And she studies the beauty of the clouds.
She helps all living creatures large or small,
Because she is sweeter than anybody short or tall,
She is especially fond of kittens that do play;
She works hard from day to day.
She watches the beauty of God's world,
And she always keeps her word,
She watches the beauty of the skies;
With her beautiful Dreamy Eyes.

Dark And Cloudy
Marian Aug 2013
It is dark and cloudy today,
I believe a thunderstorm is on it's way,
Little raindrops land on my window pane;
Tiny little showers of rain.
Dark and beautiful was the sky,
With thick dark clouds floating way up high,
The sound of silence--calm before a storm;
And all the air is hot and warm.
Everything is so very dark today,
Signifying a storm is on its way,
When little drops of water land on your pane;
You know it's about ready to rain.

A Song Of Spring
Marian Aug 2013
Wind chimes softly sway in the warm breezes
Flowers grow in the fields with tall grass
Trees and roses bud
Water ripples and flows
Sunshine silently hits the ground
Clouds of fluffy white move across the sky
Birds sing in the tall green trees above
Springtime is here again for all
Little birdies build their nests
Daffodils and tulips waltz
Singing a song of Springtime
Watch the lilies bloom
Crocuses unfurl their petals
Crickets and katydids call
To one another on Spring Nights
Silently the Moon glides across the sky
All Night the beautiful Fairies sing
Waterfalls roar
Singing a glad anthem
Little creeks bubble and flow
'Tis a song of Spring
Sung by all

Lots of roses for her Birthday party
As it was held in the garden outside
Look at the pretty rose stationery
That was used for her invitations wide
Oh look how pretty is her rose party
With lots of pretty roses here and there
Oh look at our Birthday Girl of beauty
Oh let us offer her a pretty chair
Oh look at the waltzing red roses sweet
In the garden of unending love
Oh listen to the patter of our Girl's feet
As Tasha waltzes in the sky above
Oh let me dance with you, my dear Tasha

Sorrow Felt By Both Of Us
Marian Jan 2014
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

The man in the moon
Looks down from high
Upon thy silvery head
The beautiful shadows
He lets dance upon
Thy sleeping form, my dear
All's quiet and the world
Is sleeping tight
Dreaming dreams like you
But your dreams are the best
Because you are my princess
Smiling whilst dreaming
In her beauty sleep
And she lets her nighttime dreams
Transport her to a world
All her very own

Before The Thunderstorm
Marian May 2013
Thunder rumbles in the distance
And the sky all of a sudden turns dull grey
A slight breeze begins to stir the leaves
Just before the thunderstorm
And I begin to feel scared
As I've never cared much for thunderstorms
Except for the kind in pictures
But I am trying to appreciate them
As it is all part of Nature
Distant thunder rumbles
Just before the storm

The Sea-Gull
Marian Apr 2014
Oh, the white Sea-gull, the wild Sea-gull,
   A joyful bird is he,
As he lies like a cradled thing at rest
   In the arms of a sunny sea !
The little waves rock to and fro,
   And the white Gull lies asleep,
As the fisher's bark, with breeze and tide,
   Goes merrily over the deep.
The ship, with her fair sails set, goes by,
   And her people stand to note
How the Sea-gull sits on the rocking waves,
   As if in an anchored boat.

The sea is fresh, the sea is fair,
   And the sky calm overhead,
And the Sea-gull lies on the deep, deep sea,
   Like a king in his royal bed !
Oh, the white Sea-gull, the bold Sea-gull,
    A joyful bird is he,
Throned like a king, in calm repose
   On the breast of the heaving sea !

The waves leap up, the wild wind blows,
     And the Gulls together crowd,
And wheel about, and madly scream
    To the deep sea roaring loud.
And let the sea roar ever so loud,
    And the wind pipe ever so high,
With a wilder joy the bold Sea-gull
    Sends forth a wilder cry.

For the Sea-gull, he is a daring bird,
  And he loves with the storm to sail;
To ride in the strength of the billowy sea,
  And to breast the driving gale !
The little boat, she is tossed about,
  Like a sea-****, to an fro;
The tall ship reels like a drunken man,
  As the gusty tempests blow.

But the Sea-gull laughs at the fear of man,
  And sails in a wild delight
On the torn-up breast of the night-black sea,
  Like a foam cloud, calm and white.
The waves may rage and the winds may roar,
  But he fears not wreck nor need;
For he rides the sea, in its stormy strength,
  As a strong man rides his steed.

Oh, the white Sea-gull, the bold Sea-gull !
  He makes on the shore his nest,
And he tries what the inland fields may be;
  But he loveth the sea the best !
And away from land a thousand leagues,
  He goes 'mid surging foam;
What matter to him is land or shore,
  For the sea is his truest home !

Blue Eyes
Marian Aug 2014
There is so much pain
Hidden beneath those blue eyes
I wish I could take it all away
Yes, even your inner cries

I apologize for the bad day
I feel like I am to blame
Even though I know I'm not
And I know it will not be the same

Your blue eyes like the ocean's depth
Beckons my own blue ones
I can see the reflection of stars in them
One day the pain inside them will be gone

I would take your pain away if I could
Just to see you happy again
Mending those broken wings
With a gentle summer rain

Dedicated to my Dad, Timothy!!! ~~~~<3
He lost a few of his poems today
And seems somewhat despondent
So, I am making a special effort
To cheer him up!!! ~~~<3
I hope he likes this once he sees it!! ~~~<3

Blessings
Marian Nov 2012
Kitten (babies or any age/size) are small blessings from God,
When first born they are as small as a pea pod.
Unlike dogs that go bow-wow,
Kittens have a quiet meow,

Often when I look at them I say: wow,
Kitten purr so pet them now!
They are small,
They sit in the hall.

They nap all day,
And the rest of time they play,
I have a place for them in my heart;
Big or small they're smart!!

They usually catch a mouse (or mouses),
For this reason,
And many more;
It's best to keep them in the house.

Summer (Tanka)

Lemonade in hand
Cool sweet breezes are blowing
Little petals wilt
Thunderclouds are moving in
Just before the thunderstorm

Morning's Serenade
Marian May 2013
~~~~~~English~~~~~~

Sunshine greets the pristine Dawn
With rays of dancing light
Misty paths of beauty...Everlasting beauty
Tiny violas kissed in dew
Red tulips drenched in fresh rain
And trees are greener still
Showing off with pride their shining leaves
Dark hunter moss soaked by the waters of the creek
Feels so soft and nice
A little mountain stream
Happily sings his morning song
As he flows along forever
Little birds warble sweetly to each other
And fill the air with beauty
Daisies dance in their cloak of pearly dew
And waltz with happiness in the meadows and fields
It is God Who made this lovely world
And it is He that this world sings to
In reverence and honor
They worship Him

~~~~~Romanian~~~~~

Soarele saluta zori curat
Cu raze de lumină de dans
Brumos căi de frumusete...Frumuseţea veşnică
Mici viole sărutat în rouă
Lalele rosii ud în ploaie proaspăt
Şi copacii sunt mai ecologice încă
Manifestare off cu mândrie lor frunze stralucitoare
Vânător de întuneric muşchi ud de apele pârâului
Se simte atât de moale şi frumos
Un râu de munte mic
Fericit cântă cântecul său de dimineaţă
Ca el curge de-a lungul pentru totdeauna
Păsărele warble dulce pentru fiecare alte
Şi umple aerul cu frumusetea
Margarete dans în mantie lor de mărgăritar roua
Şi vals cu fericirea în pajişti şi câmpuri
Este Dumnezeu care a făcut această lume minunată
Şi este că această lume cântă la
Din respect si onoare
Se închine

The Chimes
Marian Jul 2013
Beautiful ringing chimes
Chiming all throughout the afternoon
Making a sweet melody
Oh beautiful chimes of grace
Ringing out a song of joy!
Ringing all afternoon long
Chiming of the snow
Sparkling on the ground
Chiming of the Summer's return
Chiming of finding happiness in everything
Chiming of bringing sunshine into people's lives
Chiming of everything bright and happy
Chiming the song of nature
Chiming the hymn of God
Oh beautiful chimes, how I love your melody!
Ringing out like laughter across the dew

*~Marian~
Inspired by a piece of music imitating the chimes that I was playing on our piano this evening!!!
Enjoy!!! :) ~<3

Lightening flashes
Thunder crashes
Raindrops fall
A thunderstorm is here
But I'm not as scared this time
If the thunder isn't too loud

Fairies
Marian Nov 2012
Into the garden walk I,
Down near the beck which is so high,
To see the fairies in their home in the trunk of a tree;
Nothing but the beck is all I see.

I walk up to the tree and peep in,
Fae has her pretty white skin,
And her cheeks prettier than roses in bloom;
Pretty is she sitting by the fairy loom.

She is so pretty,
Like on the water the water-lily,
It's her I always enjoy seeing;
For she and her friends are real fairy-beings!

It's her I love,
My angel and fairy sent from above,
For a walk with you is a delight;
I love seeing you morning and night!

At night she dances on the moon,
Flying with the shadows she casts into my room,
She dances with the stars in the sky;
Way, way up so high!

Fairy, dear,
My pleasure is seeing you all the year,
I will never hate you. . . never;
I shall love you and I hope to see you forever and forever!!

*
~Marian~
For fairies in general and also for my friends, Jishaacok and Anon C! May your lives be filled with magic, sunshine, and roses!

Along Life's Path
Marian Oct 2013
I don't know what the paths of life will bring
Still I must trust in him I must believe
I received him I know that for sure yet in life there are many
hardships to endure at times there are battles along the path that
make me confused and shaken but about His love I cannot be
mistaken
He who made the blind man see can surely repair my feeble hands
and weakening knees
He can restore to me my faith, hope and security
I place my problems at Jesus feet in him their is victory not defeat.
We walk down His path day by day
If things are too difficult, He'll show us the way
He is our shelter in the time of storm
And He protects us from harm
When we pray to Him, He is ever near
And every prayer He doth hear
We do not know what the paths of life will bring
But we will continue to praise Him and sing

*Ann Johnson & Marian
Written by Ann Johnson and Marian as a duet of poetesses!! :)
We hope you enjoy it!! :)
God bless!! ~<3

Sweet Summertime
Marian Jul 2014
Summertime awakens the redolent flowers

It brings to life again the day

Rebirth of the stars

Raindrops become my healing balm

And thunder my elixir

Demure fawns gallop gracefully

Across the woodland’s fallen trees

And the sky is arrayed

In cloaks of fragrant mist

The forest’s familiar scent of petrichor

Fills the moss laden air

And hidden periwinkles glisten with dewdrops

Sweet summertime has returned once more

Her usual fugacious beauty

*~Marian~
Kind of got carried away with some big words here!!! ~~~~<3
Hope you enjoy it anyway! ~~~~<3 :)

Happy Early Birthday!
Marian Apr 2013
Happy Early Birthday for a friend who's sweet
If only I could play the pieces I love
On the piano I'd play them for you
Because you're my sweet friend
My sweetheart who's sweet!
And I'd giggle and say, "Happy Early Birthday, Lori, dear!"
And I would play some more
And we'd visit Fairyland hand in hand
There I'd give you a gift
Wrapped in petals
And it would be a harp
To play
And I'd also give you a pair of satin wings
And a crown made from all the flowers
Then carefully woven together
Your crown of L.O.V.E
For my very special Fairy Queen
Who is always sweet and happy
And whom flies through Fairyland
And is friends with all the Fairies there!

**~Marian~
Happy Birthday, Lori!!! :) :) I am sorry this is such a small gift and not something larger and more special, but do please enjoy! ~<3

Appalachian Song
Marian Oct 2014
Petrichor breezes mingled
With the scent of mountain laurel
Blew across the cool summer air
The taste of citrus on my tongue
I have a view of the valley below me
Everything looks so small
In hidden caves, I sing
And wade in mossy waterfalls
I watched the moon rise in the velvety sky
I'm falling slowly asleep
Upon a bed of lady's slipper
In the morning, I shall awake
To vibrant creamy pastel skies
And fragrant mists of dawn
I shall walk upon paths
Where no foot has ever trod
Paths bordered by rhododendrons
Where my heart can soar
With evergreens and white pines
Hidden safely with my mountain cove
A haven where I can dream
Nestled in amongst the Appalachian mountains
In a small, but comfortable log cabin
My heart keeps telling me "I am home!"

**~Marian~

Although I can make no promises!!! ~~~~~<3

Our Dream Come True
Marian Aug 2014
Yes, we shall walk through ferns as tall as our waist
And step over the beige colored mushrooms
We'll sit down and dream beside the creek
And let the melody of a cello and harp duet
Refresh us and give us strength anew
We'll live inside that old-fashioned home
With lovely wallpaper in nearly every room
We'll sit down together on the comfortable window seat
Overlooking the dreamy farm with tall, tall grass
And rustic fences here and there in those verdant pastures
We can sip cold Dr. Pepper on the privacy of our verandah
Enjoying the silence together--me and you
We'll stroll through gardens full of iris blooms
Take walks down our flowering cherry tree lane
Walk inside the beautiful forest with wild honeysuckle vines
And periwinkles carpeting the forest floor
Yes, we'll wander aimlessly all day
Maybe walk a few dogs and ride some horses
This is our dream that may never come true
But we'll keep on wishing for it--me and you

*~Marian~
Written for my Mom Hilda inspired by the poem she wrote for me
Titled 'My Dream For You'!!!
Enjoy!!! ~~~<3
