Back from my autumn holiday break to The Ionian Star Hotel in Alykes Zante and thankful for meeting such lovely people.

 

Sometimes we act through kindness
Sometimes we act through fear
Sometimes we pray to heaven
To make our way more clear
But the map of life’s within us
And no one else can share
The trials we have to answer
To get to who knows where
Though the end is our beginning
And truth is just a claim
We will wander through each lifetime
With only this to say
May the Angels light our journey
So we can walk that path
That leads us back to heaven
To stay with God at last.

The bird said to the wind

If I was not here

Would you still really blow?

The wind said I can’t say

For that’s something I don’t know

The bird then asked a passing cloud

As it skated by

Would you really miss me

If I was not in the sky

The cloud then burst in teardrops

That fell upon the ground

For it did not have an answer

At least not one that sound

The bird then turned to flowers

As in their beds they lay

And said do you remember

Your seeds that I conveyed

The flowers in their glory

Spoke in sweet accord

We are the gifts you left here

When you went in flight abroad

The bird it took a moment

Then flapped its wings no more

As if glided into heaven

To the Angels sweet applaud.

I’m not quite what you’re thinking
I’m really not the same
My mind it wanders freely
Without a care to claim
The grey that’s in my matter
Explodes with thoughts anew
As they seem to gather around me
Like clouds infecting blue
The atoms in my being
Ignite with pure delight
As they dance across my vision
Caressing all that’s right
My energy is rampant
And full of love’s sweet praise
As I wander ever different
Throughout these human days
It will not last forever
This cord that holds me down
As I reach so far above me
Towards the light I’ve found
The one that comes from thinking
I’m really not the same
And what you see before you
Of course It has no name.

Thought to Ponder – The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.- Margaret Chase Smith
