Violets of the Sea

Violets of the Sea

As the world is changing
vast bodies of water flow and engage
both to the shores and to the depths
lapping below the surface dolphins swim

Would there be a flow of blue chargers
lazing while the far away stingrays glide
diving inward outward to the flow or tidal waves
landing where the souls incline to cry

Red oh red the sea is raging
sending foam of sediment and carcasses
when the sting of operations takes hold
running dare appendages be found

Landing on the banks with safety found
sand within without these crevices
itching and dare not to stand without the call
as the venture into the seas calls me in

Tushes find a place in rushing waters
once again the sea calls out come in
violets come forth from labored creatures
sea gardens of life will rise again

Schedule Me Some Relaxation

People all across the nation
talk about their relaxation
catching up on TV shows
baking cookies and eating dough

Netflix Disney all the rage
when I find time I turn the page
but that is usually when
it’s time to sleep and sleeping wins

Now make no mistaking this
I find the time for walking bliss
but when it comes to relaxing
my day’s are full of many things

Nonetheless this lesson’s true
always take some time for you
even if it’s helping other souls
being good to yourself is an important goal

It’s time to mellow out for another week of staying home, at least for many of us. Let’s write a relaxation poem. It could be about relaxing, what you like to do to relax, observations about relaxing or even anti-relaxation. It is up to you!

Every Beat

Every Beat

Every drum beat
as the trumpet cries
to my soul
keeps my pulse in rhythmic flow

Stopping short for the moments
which take my breath away
and flowing with the rhythm
tapping my feet in time

As my shoulders move
dancing in my seat
throbbing heart of joy
pleasures at the beats

This is what music does
capturing rhythm in my soul
enriching heart flow
taking my breath away
and bringing it back
