(Friday, February 18, 2011 -- How quickly one's mood swings on Life's pendulum where memories of yesterday bring a misty veil to the eye and sorrow of regret to the Heart. Then a smile, a kind word, a thoughtful gesture tilt the pendulum and joy fills the Spirit and lightens the burdens of a heavy Heart. dht)
***************
Whence yesterday dwelled within, a tale of woe
Where familiar depths, an oft'd washed valley of tears
Where life's essence, a camouflage of passion's malaise
Where a heart chained, a cloak's regret
Where laughter's kiss, a poignant foible
Where spirits sag, a sad intrusion
Where doubts confound, a confidence tried
Where comforts refuge, a heavy departure
Where shifting days, a joie de vivre (a certain love for life)
How the years sped, as on fleeting wings
How bittersweet smile, as lips curve in memory
How shattered dreams, a pathway borders
How affection's crumb, an infrequent touch stone
How spectator's lassitude, a day's perfection
Then Suddenly perspective tilts,
Then Winter's regrets, now replaced by summer' promises
Then vagueness escapes, as senses awaken
Then birdsong boast, as sorrow takes flight
Then bees flirt on blossom's scent, as fears escape
Then rose buds unfold to sun's kiss, as loneliness departs
Then soft breezes whisper in tree boughs, as hugs not offered are forgotten
Then my heart soars in praise, as dawns such a beautiful day
Then tall grasses dance, as to wind's waltz
Then humming birds perform, as aerials on blossom bow'r
AND, Then somehow the beauty of the garden infiltrated my soul.
AND, the mystical journey of my life is paved with the flowers of my hopes to the Camelot of my dreams.
AND, My Life suddenly is full of light, warmth, beauty, bird song, soft breezes, smiling faces, potential, dreams, rainbows, courage, joy, and poetry.
