Endless Dream

Round and round the world spins free,
Through valleys deep and lofty tree.
With every turn, the sun will rise,
Yet lately, shadows fill the skies.

In the dance of joy and pain,
The ups are sweet, the downs remain.
But hope, like stars, will softly gleam,
Guiding us through this endless dream.

Ocean’s Embrace

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony mylovexpressionsblog.wordpress.com

Soft salmon showers
Delight in the fishiness
Salty ocean waves.
Whispers of the ocean’s breath,
Nature’s dance in salty spray.

Tranquil Moments

Cloudless sky a sight to be seen
Waves of blue like a tranquil dream
Sunlight shines, bright ray.
Flowers greet the day.
Warm ballet
Gentle theme.

In the Silence of Creativity

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony mylovexpressionsblog.wordpress.com

There’s nothing to write
Writers block is such a fright
Working day and night.
Searching for the right words now,
Silence echoes through my mind.

A Canvas of My Heart: Three Things Challenge #MM24

Thanks Di, for this lovely challenge. To particapate or see other responses click here

Your three words today are:
SHOCK
SOCK
SMOCK

In a room full of light, I sat in shock,
With my paint-splattered sock and a colorful smock.
Brush in my hand, I danced with delight,
For I feel I have created a masterpiece bright.

Colors swirl and shapes take flight,
A canvas alive, a joyful sight.
In my heart, I know it’s true,
This work of art is a piece of me too.

Row Your Life

Thanks for Fandango. Check out the challenge here.

Row your life in a new way,
Don’t follow paths where others stay.
Try the road that’s fresh and bright,
You might find your heart’s delight.

Take a chance, embrace the view,
Seek the wondrous and the true.
With each turn, let your dreams show,
Row your life where you want to go.

Missy's MAD Challenge, Poetry

Giving It Her Best

She wakes with a sigh,
Ready to try,
But doubt fills her mind,
Leaving joy far behind.

Giving it her best,
But feels like a test.
Smiles hide the ache,
Dreams feel like they break.

Others cheer loud,
But she feels lost in the crowd.
Each day feels the same,
Struggling with shame.

Still, she stands tall,
Hiding her fall.
Giving it her best,
But feeling no rest.

FOWC – A Farewell to My Old Self

On April 3rd, Fandango challenge us to use the word Farewell in any way that inspired us. Check out the site here.

Here is my try.

Farewell, my old self, it’s time to part,
You’ve been my companion, close to my heart.
Through every high and every low,
You’ve shaped my journey, helped me grow.

Though I’m moving on to find my way,
I’ll cherish the memories, come what may.
You’re a part of me, forever will be,
Farewell, dear self, I’m setting you free.
