Faith, adventure, and life.
Love falls like a shower of wings

Why does the Angel fall?

Faith, life, and endurance.
Holy is a sunny cloud.
Holy is a rainy spirit,
Holy is feathered wings.

Guardians endure like strong winds.

O, courage!

Flying calmly like a lively wave.
I see a misty messenger.
The misty messenger,
Softly touches my face.

Courage is accepting a loving touch.

Wow, hero!

Rise swiftly like a clear sun.

I'm here to bring you home with love...

Dark skies,
Gray clouds look like smoke rising,

So much rain,

I'm bored.

I want to curl up in my chair,
Under a blanket,
With an excellent old book.

Wait!

Where did I put that umbrella?

I'm going dancing in the rain...

I love grandma's garden.

It's an oasis filled with love.

Grandma's garden is a pleasant place;

A quiet place,
A place where I can dream,
The place where I am loved,
A place where I can be myself,
A place where I feel safe.

Stars of many colors in the sky of green.
Reds, blues, whites, purples, yellows, pinks, and greens
Are seen…

Each flower is blooming with a promise of a smile,
Grandma's garden is such a happy place,
It puts a smile on my face.

I love grandma's garden...

usually I write a poem
off the bat
but alas to-day
I couldn't do that

none of the word combinations
I had in mind
would gel like
a twining bind

inspiration eluded
the nib of my quill
its ink
wouldn't freely spill

as a consequence
the page is short of a verse
none came along
to fill its purse

in the morrow
a poem might get writ
that's if I can get
hold of it

but for to-day
I'm bereft of a stanza
which would have been
a great bonanza

PrttyBrd
Okay Brdies
Flap your wings and repeat after me:

I pledge to never leave a Brd behind:

♥ if you need a shoulder
♥ if you need an ear
♥ if you need to vent
♥ in times of fear
♥ if you need understanding
♥ if you need a friend
♥ if you think you need advice +
♥ if you're on the mend
♥ if there's any trouble
♥ if you're in a bind
♥ if you've gone all cuckoo and lost your mind
♥ if your soul needs healing
♥ if you're a moody mess ++
♥ if you need SHOPPING to heal your stress
♥ if you feel alone
♥ if you're out of sorts
♥ if you need a laugh we're all good sports
♥ if you have writer's block
♥ if you need distracting
♥ if you need a break we'll escape through crafting+++

Now we Brds are bound in honor
With a heart of a poet to guide our flights
Never again in isolation
The Flock is here with great delight :)
