Muffled Silence 

Muffled silence of the wilderness

What little sound there is

Echoes off the snow covered rocks

Deep paw prints leaving a trail

Through the white canyon

Follow the tracks, where will they lead?

What will be seen around the corner?

A deep throated growl in the distance

Sending shivers down your spine

Looking around for some cover

Finding nothing but snow clad land

Standing still, ears pricked for sound

Muffled silence of the wilderness

Is all that can be heard now....

I saw a wonderful photo of an aerial view of some animals

trekking through a rocky pass in the deep snow,

it made me think, how would I cope if it was me..?

The Thunder Storm

 

Sat here a pondering

While it`s a thundering

Should I be a wondering

If they`re a plundering

 

Lightening now a flashing

Skyward lights a splashing

As clouds start a clashing

And thunder is a crashing

 

The tempest was presiding

And clouds were colliding

Now peace is residing

As the storm is subsiding

 

 

 

 

With all this unusual weather we are having, storms seem to going and go so quickly.

The thunder storm is no exception

The bitter end

I thought I really knew you
I thought you really cared
But now I only see a child
Who`s really selfish and scared

You always seemed so strong to me
A tower of strength by my side
Though truthfully you`re just so weak
And to think, I nearly cried

All those things you said to me
Though you really believed them true
You went and broke my heart you see
Nothing`s left of me and you


Endings, break ups and the final chapter of the story,  they are all hard things to bare.

Fourth of July

The stars and stripes unite our great nation

the constitution that gives us our rights

fourth of July is a day for the people 

so let`s celebrate deep into the night

the feel of freedom as the sky lights up

bright flares flashing through the blackness

great whooshes and bangs all around

then we are plunged back into deep darkness

beer flowing and steak and salad for all

music blaring out of speakers nearby

while we stand watching the fireworks over head

feel so glad we were able to come by

there in the background is the roaring fire

the gorgeous smell of meat cooking away

people`s laughter and chatter can be heard

as we celebrate this Independence Day

Happy Independence Day to all my friends and their families in the states!

This funny old life

Life can be so confusing
No two days are the same
We try our best to understand
All the rules of this game

So what will be will be
We learn as we go on
Take everything as it comes
Forgetting not to have some fun

Making friends along the way
Sadly, sometimes it goes wrong
Some will stay and some will go
All this will make us more strong

As we try to find the answers
And piece all this together
This game is so confusing
Will we understand it ever?


Life can be a funny old thing,  do we really understand it?

Numbers


Numbers, numbers everywhere
Fractions, equations, just not fair
We see the numbers all around
For those totals must be found

All these numbers to be used
But note, you can become confused
For when, all is said and done
The number business can be fun

Working out the finances
Not wanting to takes chances
With all figures written down
We can really go to town!

The moral here`s plain to see
Through life, numbers are the key
In all aspects of our day
Numbers help us in every way.


It does seem that through out our life, numbers play a big part in what we do.  Though sometimes we don`t even realize that we are using numbers that way.  Thank goodness for Maths !!

Evening Reflections

Reflections of the day
play tricks on our mind
as the sun begins to set
you can start to unwind

the events of the day
can now draw to an end
you can hold them so dear
like a wonderful friend

when all is said and done
we still need our rest
so it`s time now to chill
the evenings are the best

watching the sun go down
pull up a chair and join me
we`ll put the world to rights
and let`s share a good story

Never alone.......


I walk along this road alone
Just my foot prints in the snow
Huddled up, trying to keep warm
The world`s on my shoulders
Sadness and despair in my heart
Why did you desert me now
When I so needed you most?
No sound, just silence all about
My heart beats in my ears
As I stagger along this cold path
Why will you not walk with me
When I need your support so much?
As I trudge along, I get my answer......
"You are never alone, as I`m with you
The single set of foot prints are mine
When you are down and in need of help
I am there to carry you on my shoulders
Until you are able to cope again"
With a warm glow in my heart
I whisper so quietly
"Thank you my Lord and Friend"



For all those who feel they have to cope on their own.....there is always someone there to help.
