I was standing where the sweet daisies grow
And it was there I saw your pretty face
It belonged to a feline tuxedo
Who always smiled so bright and jumped with grace
I was sitting in the dark forest here
Where time doth always stand still and dreams grow
I saw your face so very crystal clear
It belonged to my darling Silvestro
On the island beside the ocean dear
I saw you wading in the deep-blue waves
Everywhere I look you're always near
I even saw you sitting by the graves
You are always on my bed at night
I'm glad to write this for such a fair wight

*~Marian~
A Sonnet Written For My Cat, Silvestro!!! :) ~~~~<3
Thought I'd Try To Write About Something
Other Than Lady Jane!!! (: ~~~~<3
I Hope Silvestro Enjoys This Sonnet
And Each Of You Enjoy It As Well!! :) ~~~~~<3

Without you Mother's Day wouldn't be the same
It could not be Mother's Day without you
Without you Mother's Day would be a game
Something made up that makes me feel so blue
You're the best Mom in the whole world...Ever
Without you I would not know right from wrong
Would I feel happy without you? Never!
Without you life would not be a glad song
So I want to thank you for ev'rything
And for teaching me of Jesus above
And for making life so happily sing
And for teaching me of dear Jesus' love
Without you life wouldn't so gladly sing
So thank you, Mother for everything!*

~Marian~
Lovingly dedicated to my Mother as a Mother's Day present!!! So sorry it couldn't be more!!! ~<3
Marian Sep 2013
I'm so sorry for your loss, Mother dear
I hope your sweet heart will mend soon
I hope you will comfort in my words hear
When Fairies dance you'll dance under the Moon
Their pretty whispered words shall comfort you
And they will comfort you in bed tonight
And when the Fairies dance I hope you'll dance too
And with God's help you'll soon see the Light
I hope you feel better soon, Mother dear
May your broken wings mend so you will fly
I hope the sympathy in my words you'll hear
May the Moon cheer you up in the night sky
May God mend your broken heart from above
God, a heart is broken, fill her with love

*~Marian~
Written for my Mom who is broken hearted tonight
because our cat Tortie May passed away today!!
May you find comfort in my words, dearest Mom!!! ~<3

The days of summer pass so quickly now
The roses are withering on the vine
Warm hot breezes through the tall pine trees sough
Where are all the vanishing sands of time?
Sunrays of gold ne'er slant across the path
The end of July is already here
Daisies have shed all the petals she hath
So soon to bid goodbye to summer dear
Bid sweet adieu to the sonnets of time
Nevermore the sweet July sun to see
Behold the fading sky in its own prime
Farewell to the sighing waves of the sea
Sweet summer days are coming to an end
Enjoy life while it is still left to spend

*~Marian
I Don't Know How This Turned Out...
Guess I'll Read It And See!!! :) ~~~~~<3
Hope You Enjoy This Sonnet!!! :) ~~~~~<3
Marian Jan 2014
Summer has murdered the fairest of Springs
Green leaves have withered upon the tree boughs
Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds do not sing
Breezes no longer through the pine trees sough
Summer has torn out the heart of the dove
Sunshine no longer dapples on the path
Butterflies no longer dance up above
Summer is glad with the power it hath
Now the bluest of skies has bled to grey
Farewell, sweet sapphire skies no more to see
Now there is only one hour in a day
And withered flowers never waltz gladly
Spring is dead and Summer is here to stay
Now Time and Happiness have run away

*~Marian~
Just a random Sonnet!! (: ~~~~~<3
Hope you enjoy it!!! (: ~~~<3
Marian Mar 2013
The Moon's rays silently fall to the ground
Where the Fairies dance and play all Night long
Singing with some sweet beautiful sound
And playing on their harp some pretty song
Where they mingle warmth and love together
Woven into their pretty tapestry
With no angry, cold or mean words ever
Making the world a paradise to see
The Moon casts it's rays on this sleeping world
And the Fairies sing some sweet lullaby
To hush the world to sleep with pretty words
And the Moon winks to them from the sweet Night sky
While all the world sleeps in a pretty trance
While the Fairies sing to the world and dance

**~Marian~
Marian May 2013
The Moon glides daintily across the Night
The Fairies dance in the pretty Night sky
The Moon's like a lantern putting forth light
That lightens up the sweet Night sky so high
The Moon is like a bowl full of sweet dreams
That takes you on a journey so lovely
A dream dreamt beside the cool mountain stream
A dream that I can see very clearly
This is such a beautiful peaceful Night
And sweet little fireflies come out to dance
And as they dance they shine their little lights
This peaceful Night I'm dreaming in a trance
The Moon is smiling from way up above
And he is filling the Night with his love

Marian Apr 2013
The Fairies are dancing in the sweet Night
They love to dance around the Fairy Queen
They all will dance and sing until Dawn's light
But it's Night now and people are dreaming
The Moon is smiling down from way above
Never before did he shine quite so bright
Filling the sky with his unending love
Making this such a sweet Enchanted Night
The Fairies are dancing into my room
Is this some dream or is it even real?
They're dancing in the shadows of the Moon
And they are dancing on my windowsill
This is such a beautiful peaceful Night
With the Moon shining down ever so bright*

Time is like a mighty ocean rolling
Full, forever rolling, forever blest
Like the bell of death forever tolling
“Lord, give Thy servant forever rest”
Time like the sands of the shore uncounted
Time is like those grains of dust unmeasured
Time is like those years of Life surmounted
Time like those mighty em’ralds are treasured
Who’ll know what’ll happen in a thousand years?
A thousand years to God is like a sigh
Time is not counted like those sparkling tears
Before we know it we begin to die
Time is like a mighty ocean rolling
Like the bell of death forever tolling

*~Marian~
Marian Sep 2013
The snowflakes are falling from the grey sky
All of the world is dressed in pearly white
The snowflakes are twirling from way up high
The ground is covered with snowflakes so bright
It is midnight and still the snowflakes fall
Snowflakes are falling to the frozen ground
In the morning its bringing fun for all
The sweet song of Winter doth here abound
Snowdrops are pushing up from the cold snow
Beautiful dogwoods are not yet in bloom
In the frozen air our cheeks are aglow
Winter's moon shines its shadows in my room
All night long the frozen wind is screaming
While all people are in their beds dreaming

**~Marian~
Marian Dec 2012
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
   So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
   So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

By: William Shakespeare **1564-1616

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

Did I catch a tear
Falling from thy cheek so dear?
A loving memory thou didst behold
Like a fleeting spark of gold.
Eyes of brown laced with pain
The tears--they fall like gentle rain
A broken heart laced with scars
A sorrow that we call ours.

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!

~Marian~
Marian Jun 2013
The little snowdrops peeped through
Their bed of fresh white snow and ice
And the sign of spring lingers on the breeze
The heavenly scent of honeysuckles and lilacs
Mingle with that of lavender
And all the air holds
Heavenly scents and sounds
And the veil of celestial sky
Held birds flying in the air
On beautiful wings
And that green hill
Held a cloak
Of a thousand
Daisies and cotton blossoms
And the ocean's
Hibiscus flower
Unfurled it's wings
And sung a song of spring
With the birds that fly
Upon beautiful wings
Cool sand
Upon hot bare feet
Leaving footprints
All along the shore
We picked up
Our treasure box of
Sandy-gritty seashells
And headed back home
Looking back once or twice
At the singing waves
And the dancing palm trees
And the shore of sand
Holding countless footprints
And millions
Of dew-kissed
Hibiscus flowers
And we whispered
On the salty wind
Goodbye*

~Marian~
Marian Apr 2013
In Springtime all the roses bloom
And sunshine dances on the path
And it's rays will dance in my room
While my cats take their warm sunbath

The breezes blow the deep-green leaves
And stir the honeysuckles sweet
That grow around the tall green trees
And bloom in the warm Spring sun's heat

Oh let the breeze caress my cheeks
And let it stir the lilacs sweet
And make the flowers waltz at my feet
That grow in meadows with wheat

Oh let me kiss the buds of May
And drink in their sweetest perfume
That sweetly dances in my room
Along with the sunshine of day

Spring feels like summer even though
Playful breezes stir the tall green grass
Rich red soil feels warm beneath bare feet
Irises hidden in the forest bloom unnoticed
Never do the birds more sweetly sing
G**oodbye to ice-cold winter

Such a beautiful season of the year
Pink cherry blossoms are opening
Rabbits come out of their burrows
It is a time when birds begin to sing
Never more sweetly do the creeks gurgle
Gracefully the butterflies dance and flowers waltz

Spring is here again for all
Flowers unfurl their petals
Towards the morning sky
Birdsong fills the air
With an anthem sweet and clear
The sun shines in the sky
And honeysuckles toss their fragrance
Upon the warm breezes
Spring is here again for all
Tiny breezes blow the tall, green grass
Where the tulips dance
Spring is here
And happy I shall be

*~Marian~
I'm back again!!! :) ~~~<3
Sorry if this may not sound the best, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!!

Spring
Is the
Time when all
The roses bloom
And when buds open
And when flowers unfurl
Their very dear sweet petals
And when cool breezes caress me
And when wisteria climbs up trees

*~Marian~
Marian Feb 2013
Under the shade of weeping willow trees
The air is filled with birdsong an anthem sweet and beautiful
The soft sweet song of the bubbling creek
The fragrance of honeysuckles drifts from the forgotten garden
Where daffodils, violets, and many other flowers grow
Mountains high and valleys low covered in the cloak of spring
Hunter-green cedars and deep-green firs sway in the dancing breeze
Even the lonesome desert and vast wilderness
With its pretty sunrises and sunsets bears its own beauty
Morning glories in the Enchanted Forest unfurl their soft sweet petals
At Dusk when all are sleep
Sunrays shining through the dew covered leaves of the majestic trees
Waves wash onto the sea of time where lots of creatures live
And where fishes and sea turtles peep up out of the ocean
Where palm trees grow their lacy-green leaves providing shade for all
Where rocky island cliffs hold treasures forgotten a long time ago
When pirates hunted for gold
Where old forgotten battleships are at the bottom of the ocean
And the people on them long since dead. . .
Pearls and treasures hidden from sight at the bottom of the ocean
Where dolphins sleep and play ready to save some swimmer
Sea-green coral and seaweed are pretty ocean plants
Seashells at the very bottom of the ocean
Seagulls sing to one another from the coconut trees and many other birds sing a
Tropical anthem blending with the sweet perfume of hibiscus and a lone tropical girl
Plays a sweet song on the ukulele
And the horse gallops on the sandy shore happily enjoying his freedom
And the world to all is beautiful
Tropical sunsets blazing dark goldish- orange with the silhouettes of palm trees
On the beautiful rocky island
And the world is hushed to sleep with the tropical lullaby of the singing waves
When the world awakes with dew the sweet hibiscus

Little buds open
Birds sing from the tall green trees
And daffodils sway
In the gently blowing breeze
Cats watch dancing butterflies.

Clouds Of Grey Fill The Virginian Sky
Raindrops Pelt Upon The Roof
Thunder Rumbles--A Frightening Sound
A Slight Breeze Is Blowing Through The Trees
Their Green Leaves Nearly Touching The Sky
Yet I Am Content To Stay Inside
And Listen To The Sound Of The Thunderstorm
As It Gradually Passes By

In Spring the tender green grass grows
And the sun shines so warm and bright
But it is not so hot at dawn.

Sweet tall reeds which tickle my toes,
And I look at the sun's bright light;
Which casts it's shadows on my lawn.

I love the fragrance of the rose
Which unfurls it's petals at Night
When the curtain of day is drawn.

I love the creek that sings and flows
It creates such a pretty sight,
That is as graceful as a fawn.

So this is why I always sing,
To welcome back the dear sweet Spring.

Down a peaceful, quiet lane
The two-story farmhouse awaits
Bathed in evening hues
Of rich lavenders, pinks,
And dusty apricot
The lilac scented breezes blow
Whispering stories of summer
Let me dance in pastures
Of buttercups and wild daisies
Where horses graze contentedly
And Virginia bluebells sway
Where time becomes stuck
And lets me live this golden moment
Just once more

**~Marian~

"I need no stained-glass windows... Just look at the sky...
Perhaps you'll see either a sunrise, rainbow, or sunset
And that, my dears, is my stained-glass windows
Which also shows me that nature is God's temple
Or church" *-Marian

I'm standing in the sunlight
Misty, honeyed light and warmth
Shines across my face
The scent of Spring is in the air
Cool breezes are blowing
Daisies are dancing gently
Everything in sight creates
A picture of beauty
A painting on canvas
I captured the beauty
Of that bygone Spring day
When everything seemed beautiful
And sheer sunlight

A vase of daisies
And a few
Lying on the table
A wooden bowl
Of peaches uneaten
A glass of iced-tea
With lemons floating
In it
A single daisy
Lay next to the
Glass of iced-tea
And everything
Possess an air of
Freedom
And tranquility
In an old-fashioned
Way
A sheer ivory
Scarf lies next to the vase
Of daisies

The thunder rumbles in the distance
I cringe after every boom
The breezes pick up
And stir the tall evergreens
The light in the evening sky has faded
Black clouds line the sky
Where has the sunshine gone?
The familiar scent of rain
Perfumes the stifling summer air
Lightening flashes in the sky
My heart beat quickens
With every bolt of electricity
That brightens up the horizon
Like a display of fireworks
On the fourth of July

Children sweet with rosy hue,
Listen to me tell them a story or two,
I hold the youngest on my lap sweetly;
A little girl of three or four;
Whose beauty I admire dearly.

Children dear, it's time for bed,
I give them a kiss, then send them home to bed,
But to leave causes them much sorrow;
So we'll resume again tomorrow.

Beautiful swirls,
'Round the flowers that twirl,
Flowers in such a pretty shade;
Flowers that will never fade.
Such a pretty symphony,
Of flowers and swirls pretty to see,
Flowers with petals sweet;
Flowers that bloom about my feet.*

Summer is the time for buzzing bees and singing cicadas
Summer is a hot dry time when all the world is parched craving to drink something cold like ice water
It becomes too hot to walk much outside
Birds call to each other from swaying trees that blow in the cool breeze
Flowers dance in the cool breezes showing off their beautiful colours bright and bold
The sweet smell of honeysuckles drift
From the enchanted forests and woodlands beautiful
Nature herself blooms as the flowers that dance in the fields and meadows
And love blooms in my heart for everybody like lily of the valley whose sweet perfume was made by Fairies
Everything is like a Fairyland as I sit on a mossy boulder by the creek
Here it is that I have the sweetest dreams that the Fairies bestow me with
And I am happy as I bathe my feet in the coolness of the mountain stream
Japanese irises blooming sweetly their petals so pretty and delicate for the Fairies wove them into a tiny stem of green and made a flower

Marian May 2013
I remember how we would
Play croquet in the meadow
Oh it was so very fun
Especially with you
And I shall never forget those
Lovely golden memories
Out in the Summer sun
In the meadow
Where the flowers grow
And where the birds love to sing
And warble their songs
In the Summer sunshine

*~Marian~
Marian Jun 2013
The bright sun reddened
In dreams embedded
My thoughts of fantasy ran
I was left alone
And my thoughts did roam
As I sat on shores of sand

I watched the sun set
While these thoughts I met
Thoughts of castles in the sky
And I sighed with dreams
Floating by it seems
And the wood thrushes cry

The waves lulled my soul
I heard a bell toll
In my imagination
I hear the sweet strings
As the music rings
My melody's creation

Pedal harps of gold
Play in those bright, bold
Sweet colours of the sunset
The violin rings
Classic music sings
I'm so glad this place I met

Summer breezes blow
A song of insects fills the Night
With pretty music

Stars twinkle at Night
While the Fairies dance and sing
Beside the still creek

Moonlight fills the sky
It's rays slant across my room
Leaving shadows there

The song of crickets
Hush the silent world to sleep
With a lullaby

*~Marian~
Marian Jan 2013
Cicadas and katydids are calling
Breezes blow in from my open window
Roses are blooming and leaves are falling
The moon's rays hitting my lawn look like snow
Owls are singing from majestic trees
While sweet Bluebirds are sleeping in bushes
Night dances through the softly blowing breeze
And Midnight silently the world hushes
Dewdrops like jewels shine on roses sweet
And the stars twinkle all through the calm night
While the Fairies dance on enchanted feet
And the moon happily shines very bright
And I under my warm covers doth sleep
Until pretty morning brightly doth peep.

*~Marian~
Marian Apr 2013
It's time for iced tea
It's time for lemonade
It's time to wake up early
And sit under a tree in the shade
It's time for vases of flowers
It's a time when time will seem to fly
When months seem like hours
And minutes will so quickly die
Nocturnal bird songs and sweet pristine winds
And smells of lavender
And leaves of all kinds
Blow and fly away to who knows where
Sunsets and sunrises happily greet dusk and dawn
With such lovely beauty painted by God
And it's colours are reflected on my lawn
And then fade away on the warm sod
Oh such beauty can never be described in words
And my soul will take wing
And fly with the birds
That ever so happily sing
I could go on forever
Describing the beauty of Summer
Where time will seem to fly away forever
With the sweet smell of lavender

*~Marian~
Marian Apr 2013
Warm hot summer sun
Shining down upon people
Making me thirsty.
