It has been some time since I have written in my blog. Thank you for not abandoning me my friends. Sometimes, occasional, is better than every day.

I feel best when on occasion, I…

Write a poem.
Draw a picture.
Paint a painting.
Sing a song.

…be creative.

Give a hug.
Share a star.
Greet a stranger.
Give a gift.

…be compassionate.

Gentle Are The Ones We Cry Upon

Okay, one more poem for today. Peace be with us all.

Gentle Are The Ones We Cry Upon

Stop! Let me see you.
Oh, how far you have come!
May peace swaddle your soul;
the journey is ever so frail.

Remember this.

Gentle are the ones we cry upon,
tender are their hearts.
Strong are the ones we stand beside,
solid with their poise.

Times of fear, times of strength.
The ground will rumble beneath you.
Flash of light, thunder above you,
then shower, sprinkle, calm.

Now go! Walk on.

Tell me when you find the gift I left along the path.
A token to help you along your way.
Hope to me is as the feather to the bird.
You must arrive, before you begin again.

– Emay

A Day in the Garden

Slept among the soft flower’s petals.
Cushion of dew
the bright sky blazes from white morning sun
azure shadows stretch across downy grass
you awaken in that moment of that place.

Chirps, whistles, caws and tweets.
Sounds of a scurry, a pitter-patter, a rustle, a jiggle,
a drip, a breeze, a knock of a branch,
a slither, a slip, a pop and a shuffle.

Sleep among the soft flower’s petals.
Pillow of down
the bright sky hushed from a warm evening sun
ashen shadows fade from parched grass
you slumber in that moment and place.

-Emay

Sing me not – my voice is lost.
Draw you not – my hand is cold.
Write me not – my words are fragments.
See you not – my sight is blurred.
Hear me not – my voice will stutter.

Maybe another day.
Today I am not.

Where to go.
What to say and hear.
When to move and when to remain still.
Thought. Choice. Motive. Belief.
It’s your life. It’s their life. It’s our life.
Care, love, laugh and cry.
Human.

A whisper is but a breath; exhaled.
Moist, wind-form’d words.
Passionate promise; inhaled.
