This is the first in a series of video blogs where I share my poems and thoughts about life. My hope is they bring you more peaceful contemplation and joy. (I’m getting the hang of this video thing so please bare with me.)
Come sit with me, 1:00 pm Feb. 24, 2014
The errands are done it is time to stop
Leaving behind traffic, parking and shops
Although all are necessary and need to get done
Because life keeps us moving in a continuous run
Come sit with me now and join me outside
Outside of time, outside of walls
And see what is waiting for us to discover
As there are always surprises and wonder
The dock where we sit is peaceful today
In the company of sunshine and sea water
already at play
The song birds join in and the palm trees too
Creating a melody just for me and you
We understand more than numbers, letters and words
More than just language written or heard
Come sit with me here and let’s explore
giving freedom to all our senses to awaken and soar
Let’s feel the sun’s glow warm on our face
Let’s feel the breeze teasing our hair out of place
Let’s listen to the sea water lapping and splashing
Let’s listen to the palm trees rustling and scratching
Let’s see the colors all around, reds, golds, greens
Blues and browns
Let’s smell the air with each new breath
Carrying the scents of sea, earth and plant
Let’s enjoy the birds who bring it all together
With their Chirping, singing that we have enjoyed forever
Come sit with me and let’s gently start
By allowing all this to take root in our hearts
remember the details, the sights, smells and sounds
as all too soon we shall sadly move on
But before we do
There is a surprise for you
While sitting here on this dock
Something wonderful happened and it may bring a shock
With the sun, the breeze, sea and trees
We created this place for you and me
and you can now come visit whenever you please
It just takes a moment and in a blink of an eye
And you will rediscover this place for you and I
Whether it is you or me that is able to come
This place will always be waiting in times not yet begun
To explore, enjoy or just to rest
When you Come sit
this place will know what’s best
And who I am? You shyly ask
I will answer but it is no easy task
I am your heart, your guides, your dreams
I am your friend, and your very own support team
Now off you go
When you are ready
More errands will be waiting
And now you will be strong and steady
