Live Free

All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man’s life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.

Beautiful Day

image

Today is a beautiful day for me
It’s the first time I had my
Hair done you see
My hairstylist says that
My hair looks cool
Her smile how it set me free
She used a blow dryer
And other tools
She said that I am lovely and it shows
No more tangles for me you know
My hair blows softly in the wind
I feel so beautiful for the first time
Do you think that vanity is a crime…

~HOKUM~

Playing with colors of photography
Like a finger painting child you see
I love to play makeing messes all day
Idle hands are the “devils-workshop”
The conclusion of what my Mother would say..
Get to work there’s no time for play
Yet spectrums of rainbows
Insures a renewal of life
Mother I beg you
this hokum brings strife

Alone Not Lonely

image

My wants are not met
My needs are
I feel as one with a lonely star
Perennials breathe life into me
I see the forest through the trees
I am one with nature eternally
I’m alone among the tumbleweeds
I’m not lonely for I can see
No monetary lust a need
Abundant peace simplicity
A gentle breeze caresses me
Pearl of innocence my destiny
Mountains valleys desert breeze
A sky that sets my spirit free

image
Love wins

FINDING JOY AT THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE

I went for my usual monthly check up today. I have some health issues at present, (short term).
While waiting for the doctor I gazed  around this empty, pale, and lifeless room. My  first thought was,
“Doctor’s offices are so depressing.”
Then it hit me,  I was being negative, something I’m trying to rid myself of.
Embracing positivity has been my daily goal for the last year.

When I realized where my train of thought had taken me I stopped, closed my eyes,and felt the stillness of the room. Opening my eyes with a new perspective,  I looked up and much to my surprise there was a tiny sign hanging up at the very top of the ceiling beyond eye level. It said “joy.” 
It was such an inspiration! Another reminder that if we look for the good we’ll find it. My mind and spirit felt so joyful.

I began to study the entire room to see if I missed something else that might increase my level of consciousness.
Much to my amazement, I noticed this precious little tree peeking through a tiny window situated also out of eye level. 
I snapped a few shots and felt an overwhelming confirmation that everything was going to be alright,
as long as I see and feel the joy in our world. It’s everywhere just look around you. See for yourself.
I know love brings joy and it heals us, our minds, bodies and spirits. 

Life it good. Louis Armstrong said it best, ” It’s a wonderful world. ”

Live Free

On the other side from a safe place
Where he used to hide
Looking back one last glance
He reluctantly keeps his stride
His life long friend was always his abide
image

A false courage empty now it lies
What is on the other side…
Fear slips in he longs to return
He knows it’s time to decide
His last train is about to pass him by
He anticipates
Apprehensively
He concludes
It’s good to be alive
image

Camouflaged

image

Hidden for a time
Camouflaged mind
Behind horrid wounds
Embezzled heart
But only for
A time…
Reanimate
Enkindle
Peace
I
Shine
Forever
And
more
Once
Again
My
Heart
Smiles
in
Spite
Of
All
The
Upside
Down
Grins
Love
Wins

LONELY TREES…

image

I was wondering if you would come today
I felt sad I don’t know why
I thought I would never see you again

image

But you are here I can smile now
I stretched and grew a leaf or two
Did you bring your camera on this beautiful day
I have a great big smile for you

image

See ~°•○●”smiles”●○•°~“~☆snap☆
Am I handsome Your very best friend
So glad you came early today
Will you be visiting for a little while

image

Oh you caught my very best smile
°•○●~”blushing”~●○•° Snap°•☆snap°•~
I’m glad you decided to be my friend
I haven’t felt this shy since I dont know when°•○●~sheepish grin~●○•°~☆~☆~
I like it when you smile at me
I over heard you say I was lovely
°•○●☆snap~°•○☆snap●○•°☆

image

Oh my did I turn red
Not used to being a celebrity not me
For over a century I sat all alone
and afraid
Now I look forward to seeing your smile
Your friend I’ll be always
Not just for a while
See my beauty mark
It because you believed in me until I could believe in myself

image

Thanks again for being my friend
Goodbye for now I will see you tomorrow?

LONELY TREES.. CONTINUED

image

Oh my I am indeed surprised
To see you back so soon
I had a few lonely nights
My dreams of you made me bloom

image

Thoughts of you provoked me to feel light
Did you bring your camera tonight
We could show the world my grin
Look at my silhouetted limbs

image

I practiced to be great while you were gone so that I might sing a lovely song
Will you be my friend forever and a
Starry Starry night

image

Naught allowing them to cut me
To a hollowed trunk
Did you catch that smile
It was the best    ~**smiling**~
☆~snap°•○~●☆snap°•○●☆snap○•☆
Oh I look handsome°•○●~blushing~°•○
Thank you for taking the time
You did catch a good side of mine
Will you come back tomorrow
And stay with me
It gets terribly lonesome
Without my best friend and me
Goodnight sweet dreams

LONELY TREES

Nights get lonesone I’m always alone
Thank you for recognizing my lovely leaves and throne
Will you be my friend
So lovely tonight can you feel the breeze
Take one more picture I’m not really shy
I can lift you up so you’ll be able to kiss the sky
My elbows are worn and slightly dry
Will you be my friend until the end
The world has been scary
It forced me to hide
They say my toughness makes me ruff but they don’t know how I feel inside
If you’ll be my friend
My love I’ll reveal
If you only knew how blessed I would feel
I hid my heart for many long years
Afraid they would cut me and bring me to tears
You are the first human ever to bring a camera for me
My first picture ever
I’m excited to see
Would you be my friend
I love you I do
Will you share my picture with the whole world too
Show them my leaves, my trunk and my throne
Im tired of sitting afraid and alone
I’ve never been admired before
Will you be my friend
Some human I could adore
