Lightning

Flash of light across the dark sky

illuminating the  garden`s flower bed

zig zagging before a clap of thunder

as the storm passes overhead

a symphony of sound to hear

electric pulses through the night

emotion felt deep within the soul

nature`s fireworks, a wondrous sight

each strike of lightning`s so unique

creating bright patterns to follow

 rumblings heard in the distance

as the storm continues to grow

nature`s battle through the night sky

large droplets of rain hits the ground

an atmosphere that blasts the senses

there`s nothing like it to be found

Pets are amazing creatures and know when we are low.  My cat is no exception, she's  always full of love and very much part of our  family. She stays by my side and watches over me, my feline friend and cat companion 🐾

Healing Cat

It always amazes me
how cats just know our moods
come and show us love
whenever we need it most
sad news or illness 
they are always nearby
warming up our laps
nuzzling close and purring
when we really need it most
they have this sixth sense
that homes in on our needs
and there like a shot
healing us with all their love
cats are amazing animals
they are there when it really counts
I adore my cat

I found myself walking along a path through a wood in springtime.  After a cold harsh winter, new life begins to appears, colours erupt from once dormant ground, all around it life yet it  was so peaceful.  I love springtime and found that I wanted to remember the experience, so I wrote this.

dappled sunshine feels warm upon my skin

as I walk gently through this lush green place

to see new life return after the dormant times

smell the aroma of nature and love this space

I'm in my happy zone, it's so peaceful here

calm, soothing, tranquillity is felt  all around

secret paths, a shady seat, laughter in the air

nature in her beauty, scent, sight and sound

Friendship Bear

Hi, Im a little Friendship Bear 

with my own friendly bubby bear 

lets play and have an adventure

together we can have lots of fun

 maybe snuggle and read some books

so, lets make memories to treasure

We`ve reached Friday and it`s certainly been a hot week. Wishing you all a wonderful day filled with positivity, determination and quiet moments to think things through. I`m ready with my pen and can`t wait to let the ink flow freely.

Wishing the world Good Morning

the tools of my day await me

crisp white paper and a pen

my chosen sword for this task

let the ink flow freely today !

Our local park is a haven of beauty, meandering pathways, secretive spots wonderful views.

Finding a colourful banner fluttering the afternoon breeze, inspired this poem 🌳

Colourful fluttering triangles

seen waving amongst the trees

where will the lead me too

flapping merrily in the breeze

music heard in the distance

drawing me further into the wood

scents of nature fills the air

creating a mysterious mood

through luscious swaying grass

shielding a meandering way

I'm drawn further along this path

for this secret has made my day

Picnic with a Cat

Come, join the picnic
Mistress pussy cat
sat in the garden

you may need a hat

as the sun is out
shining warm and bright
with you beside me
makes an awesome sight

a piece of chicken
to start you off well
followed by some cream
it`s the purfect spell

now you're curled up snug
for you've had your lot
sleep off this picnic
in this sunny spot.!

Nature is not just beautiful, calming, inspiring but a good healer too. It lifts us up and wraps us in a comforting hug.  I enjoy my walks, they help to clear my mind and inspire my heart ❤️ 

Nature, the Healer

 through good times or bad

Mother Nature heals the soul

from a torn and tattered heart

making broken senses whole

from sounds of birds singing

to a cormorant standing proud

while ducks waddle by the lake

quacking their happiness  aloud

buttercups, daisies and blossom

filling the air with gorgeous scent

nature, the healer is all around

instilling peace and contentment
