Moon

as the moon arcs across the sky
surrounded by a million stars
ever travelling along it`s path
casting an eerie light over the earth
as onward through the heavens it goes

(c) Lissie`s Poems 2024

  

King Lion

Surveying the savannah

that he calls his kingdom 

majestic in his stature 

full of confidence and wisdom

this great king of the beasts
watches over his family
mane waving in the breeze
proud of all that he can see

with a roaming larder all around
his pride can enjoy many feasts

healthy, wise and full of vigour

he rules over herds of beasts

his roar can be heard for miles

letting the world know he is bold

regal king of the African plain

a magnificent sight to behold

Hidden Moon

behind long strips of cloud

a moon shines brightly through

creating unique patterns

lighting up the sky on a dark night

travelling along its journey

silently following an ancient orbit

a celestial floating sphere 

casting eerie light upon the land

(C) Lissie`s Poem 2024

 

Sunshine in a Flower

Large bright yellow petals

around a seed packed flowers

standing tall and proud

swaying gently in the breeze

bees busily collecting pollen

sunshine in a flower

(C) Lissie`s Poems 2024

Beaches are my go to place, when I need somewhere to calm my stresses, think things through and meditate. With sand between my toes, I feel mesmerised and soothed.  Places where I feel close to loved ones and know I will be safe.

 Sandy Toes

feeling sand between my toes

as I walk along the beach

listening to sounds of the sea

whispering just out of reach!

gentle rhythms of ebb and flow

as waves wash across the sand

mesmerising all the senses

stretching out from where I stand

seaweed, shells and driftwood

beachcombing after hightide

with a strong scent of saltiness

treasures found far and wide

seagull shrieks heard over head

what they`re saying, no one knows

as waves retreat back to the depths

wet sand trickles between my toes

(C) Lissie`s Poems  2024

 

Watching the Sea

Watching the sea, ebb and flow
roaring in, flooding out
almost breathing
repeatedly

never stopping, always moving
racing in, flowing out
wave after wave
constantly

depositing all its gifts
rushing in, receding back
along the shore line
endlessly

watching the ocean murmur
crashing in, rumbling out
forever moving
unceasingly.

Love walking along a beach and letting my imagination free....

Pebbles and Souls

Pebbles strewn across the beach

scattered around by the high tide

where they`re tossed about by oceans

travelling in waters far and wide

those pebbles are just like our souls

buffered by our swirling emotion

constantly exploring the world

this roller-coaster in motion

with the waters shaping the souls

as it shapes these many pebbles

some times they`re marooned in one place

others, crashing around like rebels

for every pebble is different

like the many souls set a drift

only time will tell when they settle

then love will give them that lift

so as you walk along the beach

and spy a pebble laying there

remember to handle carefully

a soul is drifting on a prayer!

Moon
Beautiful pale orb
floating across the sky
celestial elegance seen
shrouded by long thin cloud
as it travels its orbital path
repeating this journey each night
casting eerie light upon the land
shadows created by its passing
this heavenly sphere of mystery
watching over us as we sleep
