The Country Cottage

What is this magic that inspires and charms?
The smell of herbs and spices float in air
around painted fruit and florals here and there.
Quiet and calm, the busy pace slowed down,
we are invited to just simply ‘Be’.
No clocks-Time is measured by songbirds now.
What is the charm of a Country Cottage
if not the gathered flowers and plants inside
where Nature and Harmony abide
amidst furnishings creating a Home.
Light and shadows, changing colours entertain.
What is the charm of a Country Cottage
if not the flowers, grasses, vines, and trees
that enchant with Beauty’s power to please
the Soul and Senses awakened to Life.
Gone is the world of greed and endless strife,
beliefs that kill, and all-consuming ‘need’.
This life in a Country Cottage is rich indeed…
Earth in the Heavens… and Heaven on Earth.

Flights

 

(Awe and Wonder- my digital music composition)

 

Flights

Observing Flights

air filled with insects

swift swallows never collide

-small planes fly over

 

Flight Exhaustion

eyes search through windows

swallows circle- rise and dive

exhausted eyes close

 

Still Flight

frail body sits still

mind jumps on a swallow’s back

heart laughs- swift pure joy

Soul-Dining With Flowers

(Tulips Dance and Bow-  my digital music composition)
artistic arrangements,
each bouquet a little garden
of precious leaves
and flowers of wonder…
each bouquet a gift of Nature-
Life nurturing Life
in fleeting, eternally changing,
countless, glorious forms…
quantum mysteries-
environment builders
creating, transforming, evolving…
Soul, bring your Heart and Mind
hungry to the table-
see the flowers and leaves anew…
eat up all their colors-
savor every shape and texture-
slowly drink their beauty in
and feel the awe of Life again.
