"Listening To The Rain Of Sadness" Poem

Sitting in my den listening to the rain of sadness The never ending rain, my eyes want to give way to tears I feel sadness in my heart as I begin to welcome the waves of rain into my consciousness Waves of sadness, fear, lack of faith entertain me through the sounds of the rain drops. Will this ever end? And the birdsong and hoot of my resident owl whom I have yet to see join me in my quiet reverie taking up residence in my mind The peels of thunder occasionally making an appearance in a new wave of flash fall add to the murky soup of my consciousness Creating a new song slowly taking shape… The song of a rainy, sometimes stormy, day in nature One with the silent beat of the trees holding fort and taking in the sustenance of nature’s water The call of the birds simultaneously taking shelter and calling out today’s news The drum beat of the skies tumult The wind shushing through the foliage All converge in my awareness creating a new dance in my mind From one of dim sadness to one of the rhythms of nature and life The rain of sadness transformed to the rain of life

Sitting in my den listening to the rain of sadness
The never ending rain, my eyes want to give way to tears
I feel sadness in my heart as I begin to welcome the waves of rain into my consciousness
Waves of sadness, fear, lack of faith entertain me through the sounds of the rain drops. Will this ever end?
And the birdsong and hoot of my resident owl whom I have yet to see join me in my quiet reverie taking up residence in my mind
The peels of thunder occasionally making an appearance in a new wave of flash fall add to the murky soup of my consciousness
Creating a new song slowly taking shape…
The song of a rainy, sometimes stormy, day in nature
One with the silent beat of the trees holding fort and taking in the sustenance of nature’s water
The call of the birds simultaneously taking shelter and calling out today’s news
The drum beat of the skies tumult
The wind shushing through the foliage
All converge in my awareness creating a new dance in my mind
From one of dim sadness to one of the rhythms of nature and life

The rain of sadness transformed to the rain of life 


My soothing words of wisdom for the week is about selfishness and taking care of yourself:

Open Your Heart to the Power of Love

“Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things.” -   Unknown It is February. If you are like me, I find this month challenging because it is about this time when I am getting tired of the cold and shorter days. And we have at least another month of cold and snowy weather to come. Yet, it is at this time when we have a holiday to celebrate love; and which warms our hearts. Even though warmth is not in the air yet, celebrating who we love is. I’d like to share a true story about the power of love and its ability to warm our hearts and help us to move gracefully through the rest of winter. There is a man who was married for just a few years who was getting to know his wife’s family and was becoming closer to them. This man came from a very different family from his wife’s. In his family, no one spoke about their feelings, his siblings were not close, and if his father told him he would be there, he the son, never knew if his father woul...

Fueling the Creative Fire

“There are always flowers for those who want to see them.”                                                                                             - Henri Matisse When we finally get to the root of our issues, there is one main issue that all others connect to like the spokes in a wheel.  This core issue colors everything about us.   Throughout our lives, we keep learning about this core issue in different ways and through different lessons. My core issue has to do with feeling like I am not eno...

Grateful For Life

Image
“Thank you is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.”                                                                                             Alice Walker This past February, I had an experience that shifted me.   The experience made me aware of a greater power taking care of me; a silent partner. It made me grateful for life itself and all of the things that make up this gorgeous experience on Earth. November’s blogs will focus on The...
