The Mind is a Wonderful Creation 19

Taunting to rule

the fear still lingers in the background

tauntingly reminding you what was there

with the mental and physical scars

…fear still taunting to rule

the slightest memory of an event

will open the forgotten memory banks

stiffening your nerves opening your senses

…fear still taunting to rule

the hairs on the back of the neck are wound up

and you pull and twist at your hair

the thoughts and memory of it still mars

…fear still taunting to rule

trying to forget is good for a difficult dent

and is working because you give thanks to friends

who help mending your fences

…fear still taunting to rule

A yellow Leaf

yes it is falling so very free

twisting and twirling all around

away from the sky so blue

using all its mighty power

finally unhinged from the tree

falling to the ground

to decompose and turn

a new and spring into a dear flower

Honey

Seven years ago

it broke my heart

when you moved so very far away

so I give with love this gift

I made for you let us never part again

Seven years ago

we were good buddys

on a very special team and

we bowled to hearts content

let us never part again

Seven years ago

I missed you

from the start wondering and thinking

of you everyday often it made my life

so very blue let us never part again

Seven years ago

back to the neighborhood

my heart beats wanted to scream

but now it’s a happy heart and

not bent let us never part again

Circle of you

Where does the future

of any human take them

when they walk the

twisting winding roads

of their life through

the ups and downs

of everyday living

turning at each be

nd in the path.

It is a fact that you

are born live and die.

No one of us are able

to change this cycle.

There is no way possible

because it is fact not fiction.

Some are born

with a silver spoon

getting everything

they desire

while others have nothing

but struggles every

moment of their life.

Often the life you live

is through circumstances

beyond your control

often repeated by your

care takers although

many pull out of this

repetitious circle making

their lives better

and more bearable

throughout the years.

When death finally

takes you

often there are words

about you

kind or unkind

bringing you home full circle.

Do you know the circle of you?

The Garden Riders

Hello my name is Colette but call me Gigi

I love my rider and his gentle caressing touch

I am a motorcycle riding down the road

winding, twisting and turning every curve

My bright color is sexy candy apple red

we stop in the country in a colorful garden

The flowers are bold, ugly the will never be

the trees sway and the grasses are so mild

We stop to rest under the tall leafy trees

I rest and cool down while he has some lunch

My owner is pleasing and good to me

keeping me in running order very much

My rider is wiry and not a heavy load

he’s smart and safe but with lots of nerve

A rider must be joyful and lively and not dead

our love for one another will never harden

My tires are the best that take us to see

all the countryside on roads that are wild

Riding along and singing in the cool breeze

my owner and I really like each other a bunch
