The Bond

The Sparrow struggles against the wind trying to reach the Eagle
flapping harder and harder seemingly getting nowhere
suddenly the Eagle notices and swoops around the Sparrow
coming up beneath her and beckoning her to grab on to his back
as the Sparrow holds on the Eagle soars ever higher
taking his friend to unimaginable heights
the Sparrow sings with delight and a bond is formed
where one would never imagine one
effortlessly gliding through the clouds
the Eagle shows the Sparrow a world she's never seen before
and the bond grows stronger, the Sparrow sings louder
The Eagle regains respect for the sights he is seeing
again, for the first time, through fresh eyes filled with wonder
Together they experience a new world of wonders
and a bond that will never be broken.

Time to fly

I wanna fly, wanna get away
Sail through the night, call it a day
Leave these places and stresses behind
I got plans in my head and peace on my mind
Ready for a change, the time is right
Got my passport ready, yeah, I got my flight
Could be a mountain top, a Vally or a beach with sand
Life is the journey not the place you land
Struggling to live each day, it wears a soul down
Steppen outside your boundaries brings it around
My heart's achen for a distant land and far off places
Playen the cards in my hand and pullen out Aces
Another land beckons, calling my name
Offering me peace, not riches and fame
I'm craven the solace, peace, love and light
Not ending this battle, just winning this fight
So I'll see you around, another time and date
I'm ready to live life according to fate
Moven on a new path, a new life, a new home
Liven my life as though it's my own.

Happy 70th Birthday Mom!!

I love you and miss you, want to hug you and kiss you
but it's not my time, so I'll wait to shine,
when it's my time to come home, we'll no longer be alone,
So when I get my wings we can meet on a cloud,
Mother & daughter hand in hand so proud,
together we'll walk for all the days & shine upon the living in glorious ways.
I'm not counting my time here on land, but I sure do miss the touch of your hand
the sound of your voice and your hugs of Love
But I know you're watching from Heaven above
Please watch over me until again we're together
send me a sign, drop down a feather
I'll continue to love you, miss you and call out your name
life here on earth just isn't the same
In my heart you will forever stay
So with love I wish you a Happy Birthday!!

I am strong

Your darkness surrounds me
Attempting to consume me
yet I glow
white light from within
like a full moon against a black velvet sky
Protecting me
from
Your words, thoughts, actions all designed to inflict pain
or insight anger
I stand strong against them
Smiling in your face
knowing that any gift not received
is a gift YOU hold on to
Keep your anger
Keep your fear
Keep your pain
Keep all the negatives that make you who I see you for
I am sorry for you
that you can't see the harm you cause yourself
But
I am protected from you
Because I know who you are
And
I will prevail
I will walk with my head held high
I will smile
My white light will continue to glow
Stronger
because of your darkness
I am strong.

Heat

Summer's heat takes over your every thought
the sun wraps itself around your body like a cloak
skin turning pink, red, brown
you look for relief under a tree
a storm comes rolling in
you think perhaps this will cool things down
huge charcoal clouds fill the sky
mocking the sun
in a flash -
sheets of rain
booming thunder
streaks of lightening
rivers of water racing along the curb
steam rising from the ground
you sigh and take in a somewhat cooler breath
and just that fast the storm is over
and then it starts again
sun burning bright
pushing the clouds into the distance
a rainbow forms in the sky
in no time you can hardly tell it rained
the ground is dry
and that familiar heat is draping itself around you again
you wonder how long the heat will last
it's barely June
you think it's going to be a long summer
a butterfly lands on your shoulder to rest it's wings
you smile
and think it's going to be a good summer

A letter to heaven

Mom,

Happy Mother's Day in Heaven. Next month will be 33 years since you left and the passing years can't change how I feel. I miss you & love you more as each day passes. I long to be able to hug you and kiss your cheek, to call you on the phone to tell you what's new or get a recipe from you. I wish I could tell people that YOU are my best friend & we do everything together. I've missed out on so many things that people take for granted. And my heart still aches. I know one day we'll be together again but until then please keep watching over me and keep me safe, strong and on the right path. Bless all the Mom's on Earth & in Heaven. I love you & think of you always.

Forever your loving daughter, Paula <3

Do you feel me?

I will burn inside you like a raging fire
I will drive you to the cliff of madness threatening to push
Then whisk you away on gossamer wings
I will fill your eyes with a joyful tear
Then flood them dragging anger down your face in streams
I am as gentle as a kitten
Or painful as a gun shot
Because of me you feel invincible
And bewildered
You can't live without me
Then you damn me for being
At my word you are a lover
A fighter
You climb mountains
Or cling to your bed
I am everything you ever hated
And loved
I am called
Passion
Without me
You are nothing

Do you know her name?

She walks with grace, white light emanating from within
She is all the things you yearn for
She shows you passion and beauty you can't imagine
Words fail to describe her essence
And you follow her
Faithfully
Longing
You walk slightly behind always in awe of her
Not quite sure what she really thinks of you
You are hopeful
Your heart pleads with her to shine her light on you
Make you a part of her world
You fall to your knees honoring her, for
She is Love
