YOU WERE ALWAYS WITH ME

img_0936-301341071035.jpg

Even when I was gone

I knew you were there

You loved me in absolute silence

Waiting for me to surrender

Watching in rose colored glasses as I willfully sank into the stormy seas

The life raft seemed so far away

Blinded by what I could not see

Happy Mothers Day Mom | iblogstr8sicit’s Blog by Donna Jones Bowles, AKA Dee Biggins

Happy Mothers Day Mom I Miss You.

My Mom,
How she made everything
Beautiful and new.
Her smile lit up every room.
Her kindness, and unfailing love, always took away my gloom.

I miss you mom with my heart and soul.
Your fragrance fills the air with all the stories that you told.

It’s seems like only yesterday I would kneel by you at night and pray.

Our trips to the ocean shore, a lunch for two, and the taste of that salty breeze, as though it was only yesterday, just you and me.

Oh mother, how I miss you so.
I just wished that we could be together just once more.

The day will come when we will meet again.
In heaven with our Father forevermore.
Your smile I cannot wait to see.
Until that day, I’ll hold on tight to all my dreams.

But, for now, I do regret, another Mother’s Day must end.

May God be with you till we meet again.
Happy Mother’s Day
My precious Mom…I ❤ you…

Watercolors ~°•○☆~

A day by the sea…

Just the two of us…

Dreams lost at sea~°○●☆~

image

Reminiscent of your tranquillity without  promise of reciprocity~

Azure canvas sets a silhouette for your unchallenged spell~

Your faultless essence restores my desire~

You are a calm in the eye of the storm~

An untamed echo in my dreams~

As your temper billows upon the sea awaiting your unchalanged command~

To break the silence of the calm~

And deliver birth to the raging storm ~

I bewail you…~

Yesterday is gone

Today it’s clear

I should have never left

Tomorrow is a thousand miles away

~Follow Your Dreams~

This photograph was talking on the Oregon Coast.  After a month visit with my children we headed home taking the scenic route hwy 101.

Our first stop was Newport Beach Oregon.  It was here that I stopped to reflect on what was truly important in my life. My dream of being with my family was all I could feel.
At this particular moment I decided to follow my dream and drift back home where my heart lives.
And my heart lives in Portland.

I spotted this little guy on the Oregon Coast.  I walked up about 3 feet from him and he looked at me as if to say, “hurry up and take the shot!”
He didn’t budge a bit. The lovely seagull, he was.

I absolutely love tying knots. It’s therapeutic, rewarding and serene.
What more could I ask for this evening?
Life is good and it keeps getting better.
I love peace, love, WordPress, and all of you wonderful bloggers that continue to enhance my understanding of our world in which we create through.

If Only I Could Sea

If only I could wake up from this endless sleep

I would run to the ocean with only bare feet

Tapping toes on salted shores

In hopes my feet would finally meet yours

If only I could fly in my sleep

I would soar through the sky finding you

We’d be two seagulls you and I

If only my mouth would not be shut

I would sing my song and truly live

Then together we would be

If only only I could wake from this endless night

I would paint brilliant rainbows to brighten up our skies

If my sleep would render my ears to listen

I would hear your heart and realize I was loved beyond reason

If only my eyes would open

My sun would rise

And give me vision

With love revealed it would be my guide

Expelling darkness and all the lies

Surrounded forever by endless colors

Oh my love, just believe

Wake up with me and take my hand

We will dance together barefoot in the sand

Knowing we’re ment to be

Endeavoring freedom

Together we’ll see

True love

Indefinitely
