FEBRUARY 2024 -- Destiny's Portal

DESTINY’S PORTAL

 Some consider the heart

A pumping machine

That keeps our life force flowing

But I . . . 

I see it as destiny’s portal

Offering our choice of potentials

Love is the key

And love stems from the heart

Growing our wants and our needs

These set our course

Determine our direction

Lead us down the byways of life

There will come twists and turns

Bumps and potholes

And even a few detours

But our journey will not falter

We will find our best path

If we stay always true to our heart

JANUARY 2024 -- Winter Blues

WINTER BLUES

Something about the color blue

Brings images of winter to mind

The stark blue-gray of an overcast sky

The misty blue of a mountain range

The shadowy blue-green of forest pines

The icy blue of a frozen lake

The frosty blue of drifted snow

The twinkling blue of a child’s bright eyes

The flashing blue of a toboggan run

The toasty blue of a cocoa mug

The inviting blue of Grandma’s warm quilt

The midnight blue of a star sprinkled sky

Where a bleu-cheese moon carries winter dreams

Into the waiting blues of spring
