The Kind

Artist - Thomas Saliat

 The Kind

You're the kind that others

Turn away from when you speak

I know

I know

There's nothing you can say

That holds attention

On the street

I know

I know

The words are there but

Will not come the way

You want them to

I know

I know

Pen to paper seems

The way for thoughts

To be conveyed

I will

I will

Write my soul for

All to hear

Though they don't want to

I would

I would

Give two cents to

Know your thoughts as

I write

I write

What's in my soul

What's in my heart and mind

You will

You will

Hear my words unspoken now

The same as if

I spoke out loud

To you
To you

And maybe you'll

Still choose to walk away

From me

From me

That's okay I understand

You may not have the time

To stand and 

Hear me

Hear me

Speak my last word to you

Goodbye 

Goodbye

(2 minute essay on words, apparently, and on not being heard, who knew - they just spilled out)

"Shelves in the closet" indeed!

Misunderstood

Misunderstood

Life used to be a breeze

A sigh,

A petal on the wind

Gone by,

Blowing in the noonday sky

Was where you would find me

But times have changed

I'm not sure when

Or how

It happened

To me now,

These storms have stirred up

Misunderstanding around me

A word was whispered

In my ear

It's been awhile

Maybe years

And now the wall between us

Stands and no one says a thing

I'm not quite sure

What happened then

Or who it was

Who first changed skin

Now you seem to me to be

Stepping away even more

Since you've changed

Towards me

Can you expect I will

Not see

And not change too

After all I'm only human

And feeling small

I only wish that things

Could be

Mended and bridged

Between you and me

It doesn't matter what I do

You scorn each branch I offer you

Now it ends and now you see

The wall is only yours to free

We all build up walls and have misunderstandings

And it's really a part of life's ups and downs.

It's nice when you find the exact right words

To say to a friend that share how you feel

About the walls. At least that's how

It happened for me here.

A Mother's Prayer

~ a mother's prayer ~

the angels heard you coming tonight
and welcomed you with wings to fly
they held your hand and whispered
things that only those in heaven sing

the roads pave gilded and refined
you are heaven's now, but always mine
I say goodbye and through my tears
remember days, minutes, years.

i've known you well through
these hard days
i know by heart the many ways
i love you

Walden in the Fall

Sometimes when you venture out, just past your own backyard, you discover that Walden really is nearby, 

closer than you even realized. 

And Walden in the fall is just amazing.

I am not sure why autumn wakens me as it does. 

My step is lighter, and the beauty of the earth just deepens, until you almost ache from seeing it.

Are you aching for more? I am.

Layer

upon

layer

of

grace 

just 

standing 

there

He Loves the Beauty

He sits and watches over,

All the essences below,

On the spinning world's stage,

By minutes and age to age.

He made the nature patterns,

His prose hangs in the sky,

Written by the winter birds,

And by the trees standing by.

From corner to corner,

He's a clever clever God,

His hand covers diamond stars,

Yet is even in the sod.

Daily the earth he drowns

With purest beauty known,

Streams spill laughter in delight,

Sunsets paint a new sky every night,

He could have made it all less so,

No mountain white-capped earth below,

No flowers cheerful in the sun,

No wild horses driven to run

No autumn treasures, no trees to measure.

But the clever God is mysterious,

He loves the beauty just like us.

Evening Prayer

Lord above,

Tonight, You have given me this sky,

Spread out like a carpet before me.

I need only to walk out and see it,

To remember the beauty You give.

Tonight, You have given me silence,

A welcome retreat from worldly chaos.

I need only to listen in stillness,

To remember the peace You bring.

Tonight, You have given me courage,

To face a new day tomorrow.

I need only to follow Thy footsteps,

To remember the strength You are.

--Amen.

October Shines

Even the simplest scene from October is beautiful. October simply shines.

Give Me Grey

Raindrops are forecast, 

For hours and hours...

You, would choose 'away,'

To find your mellow sunny days.

 But I say, give me grey. Every time.

Every minute and every day.

I say, bring the grey and,

Please oh please, let it stay.

Thought She'd Forgotten

Fall begins to knock on my door ever so lightly.

She's gotten such a late start this year, 

I thought that she'd forgotten,

To breathe her magic onto the trees.

But here she comes like nothing is amiss,

Ready to kiss away the remnants of summer.

Melody of Autumn by Marla Baggetta

With the Rain

Seasons change and,

When the rain finally comes,

Release your tears with the rain,

Let them stain your face,

Let them freely flow,

To wash away yesterday.

For yesterday's gone away.

Peace Hope Love

There is peace
hope
and love.

It's September

A walk in September to celebrate the coming fall~

You're welcome~

The Nightlight

she sat and stared east,

wondering where all of the,

patterns had gone in the sky.

for now it was only blue,

the deepest blue there was.

she went on this way for minutes,

that felt like years,

just staring into the blue.

but something made her move,

and she turned to look west,

as the sun set.

it was then she saw patterns,

the bird streaking invisible lines,

layers hanging in the sky,

filled her eyes,

and the clouds framed the sliver moon,

just at the right moment,

when just a moment before,

it had been flipped on as a,

nightlight by the One,

who watches those who

watch His sky.

and the nightlight shone in the sky.
