in the stillness

I felt something,
a gentle touch,
I could see,
a glow, light shining,
I heard a whisper,
soft & gentle,
I could feel
a gentle breeze,
wrapping itself
around me,
purple reflections,
imprinted inside,
sounds hardly heard,
in the stillness....

opaque reflections...

opaque visions,
imprinted, colours,
gentle breeze,
changing,
light, darkness,
peace, growing,
reaching,
imprinting
opaque reflections....

Silhouettte

mist, coolness,
eerie silence,
piercing darkness,
creeping shadows,
silhouetted mysteries...

Isolation

rain, cold,
darkness, silence,
questions, hurt,
scarred heart,
imprinted....
isolation...

feeling lost, alone,
dark, unsure,
swirling, needing
trying to find answers,
heart burning,
why, why,
someone hear me
listen, to my plea,
all I hear is silence,
reassurance,
where are you?
deep calls unto deep
waterfalls flow over me,
my inner being, trying
to find, light
refreshment,
renewal, peace,
hope, reaching, reaching,
skyward, higher
into the eternal light....

White Vision

As I awoke,
A white vision of purity
appeared before me
the radiant image
filled the room &
my inner being
with joy,
a sense of wonder
overwhelmed me,
completely,
As the hand of love reached out
the vision swept over me
filling my heart with a special moment
of purity & hope.

Vicki --July 2010

two mums..two stories

two mums, with two stories,
very different chapters,
long & winding roads,
two mums, same month,
memories entwined,
into the winds of time,
the scent of freesias & roses
fill the air,
strong love,
funny sayings,
always remembered,
bringing smiles,
special tokens,
a laugh, a bird,
a radiant cloud,
so many ways to reflect
on two mums,
two stories.

Two acts of kindness...

It was a cool day,
as I watched, many stories were being
written into the day
I recall two of them,
the first being of two people sharing love & care
for someone who had pain inside of his body,
but his soul smiled,
you could see through his smile,
that this young man
really appreciated the care & love
being shown to him,
Im sure he has a story to tell,
one to inspire & touch the heartstrings....






The other story
was this kindly gentleman,
who smiled radiantly,
he obviously enjoyed his job,
As I approached him,
He reached into his car,
taking out this huge umbrella,
His gentle smile said take this,
keep dry,
He then proceeded to inform
my waiting lift,
that I was ready,
He walked calmly
through the rain,
He then waited till I was
safely inside the car,
I thanked him profusely
I was so touched by this
gesture, was kind,
that one act, really made my day.
just show a little kindness, you never know who
you'll touch....

both of these stories will be with me for a very long time...

life

Life is a journey,
all of us walking different roads,
one direction, then another,
not knowing where we will be,
as we go, our story is forever
etched into the clouds of time,
some journeys are filled with rain,
others have rain & sunshine,
even others say they have roses
with the knarled stems,
but the soft green foliage
ease the hurt,
our lives are a book,
each page, & chapter
are written in eternal ink
for all to see & remember
yes, life, a reflection....a memory

Golden glow

I looked around me,
it was dark & slightly cool,
My eyes were drawn
to the something above,
surrounded by silver gray clouds
there was a golden glow,
a message, a blessing,
something special...

Vicki (July 2010)

A Prayer....

Dear Lord,
thank you for being my Lord & Saviour
I bring to you, my tensions, my concerns & worries
Father, feel so alone, I keep asking, keep reaching,
I know you're here with me, I know you have kept me
in your arms, Lord this prayer is for me & for those who are hurting
I pray for your Spirit to infuse those who need it,
those who need your healing,
May your lovelight touch all of those who are hurting,
please may they find refreshment in you,
new hope, new peace,
Father I lift all of my words to you,
& ask that your presence touch those who are reaching for you
please may they hear you speak
may they be thirsty for your word,
& be quenched,
May those who are less fortunate then myself
be blessed to overflowing too.

Vicki-- July 2010

you started as a tiny seed...

You started as a tiny seed,
you were nurtured by the
warmth of the sun
the gentleness of the rain
your branches grew stronger
pine cones & leaves
added to your beauty
the clouds above
when it became twilight time
the stars shone on you
as the years went by
your age began to show
but you became even more unique
you were strong, yet weak
it so long for you to finally
touch the touch the sky
but you are now a memory
forever imprinted into the
shadows of time.

In the tapestry of your life
there were many colours
each thread
like you
a unique creation
are a wonderful reflection
of the memories of your life
that are forever woven into

tunnel vision

Ive had many visions,
some have left impressions
deep inside,
memories of times past,
walking, journeys,
friendship, conversations,
visions that come from within,
dreams, hopes,
light, shining,
colours of the rainbow,
tunnels of change,
winding, twisting,
experiences, my footprints
forever imprinted in the
tunnels of life.

Whispers

Whispers
are words that no one hears,
are sounds that no one hears,
whispering silence is in the
the gentle breeze,
the waves gently breaking
on the shore,
an eagle soaring through the heavens
touching the wispy clouds,
of peace and tranquility,
whispers are conversations,
that stay inside your inner being,
sometimes whispers are in music
just listen,
in the silence of your heart,
you'll hear the words,
that reach deep inside,
enveloping your senses,
memories of times past,
of whispered silence.

fruits of life

the fruits of life,
are hope, light, peace,
listening, ripening,
the fruits, need nurturing
Living water, love,
growth, change,
softness, reaching,
Life's fruits, are many,
discoveries to be made,
experiences to be had,
learning, sharing,
holding, but the fruits
are life, so many,
ready for the tasting.
