Thoughts on Life |
Another notebook.... One of so many that has been. Last one closed and tucked away For reference and safe keeping... ~ Fresh clean pages await me Collecting all that I experience All that I learn All that I seek... ~ Notes to self.... Doodles...of my whimsical thoughts Sketches of my dreams Written paintings of the Beauties I encounter All that I wish to Remember always... ~ Beautiful ribbon bookmarks For the moments I cherish most Tattered edges Marking off the things I have learned Folded corners Where I choose not to dwell Tear stained pages Mark the saddest of times My fingerprints on every page Each notation touched by me personally Or me by it... In someway or another ~ Poetry..... Yet to be written Emotions poured out on every page Whether happy, sad, angry or mellow, Even if only indifference ~ My pages fill quickly some days Others seem to take a while But the pen of thought is ever moving ~ Notes to self.... Remember, this made you smile This made you sad, this made you strong... And yes..... This made you love.... ~ Those beautiful ribbons that mark Those things most cherished Those things that make Your heart smile Your soul sing.... ~ It is the ribbons That mark life’s greatest experiences My most incredible pages Where I choose to reminisce Where I fan the flames of today’s peace Today’s happiness...today’s joy Those memories From moments ago or as far back as my youth Nourish my soul... ~ These ribbons help to remind me As I write my more solemn pages I draw strength from them Remembering that shadows Dwell even in the darkest places Reminding me There is always a ribbon of hope somewhere ~ Jean 4-29-13 © FILLMYEYES |
