Nearly lost my mind
No words to share with
My friends
Found you once again
Mary Anne Norton Jan 2020
The Creation noisily
Around me
With song,crispy leaves
Flutterings of wings
Fill my soul  with hours to come
Sights of vibrant green
Camouflage brown
Changing clouds stir my very being
I give heed to my Creator
Who Died for me
GIving humble.me
A chance for
A New Life
Mary Anne Norton Jan 2020
Upcoming alarm on my phone
  All I have to do is push
       Dismiss
The signal sounds and I'm prepared to move forward or snooze
DO I risk moving on
Or catching zzzz's
Will it really make a difference
I've been  forewarned
The answer ahead
    Relies on me

Big regret
Mary Anne Norton Jan 2020
Life is a smorgasbord
           Of blessings.
Hear the morning birds
As the wind
        Whispers in you ear.
Leaves crunching
          Under your feet
As squirrels  play tag
         Jumping tree tree.
See the sun in a pink
         Summer sky.
The moon winking
     A pleasant good night
Taste the warm creamy  
      Hot chocolate
New concoctions
        Meant to savor.
Smell homemade bread
       Ready to enjoy.
Baby's breath and Mom's
        Oh so sweet.
Touch a purring cat
Hands of those you love
Treasure all there is
  To offer you
A Bouquet  of Life
  Has been served.
Mary Anne Norton Jan 2020
Taking a giant leap
From the muck and mire
Called Life.
Ready to wipe clean
The sludge and the mud
Of yesterday's mistakes.
The sun is appearing
Will it harden or soften
This thing called Life
