Reflecting Sun by Luda Nayvelt

Seclusion … Illusion … Whispering glen

Skyline … Sub-lime … Audible wren

Golden pinks … Darkish shades … A  moment in time

Sun setting … Glow letting … All is just fine

Micklyn – “Secret Powers of Super Mom”

Up, up and away

What awesome display

I’m a laundress with powers of flight

 

With wind in my hair

And clothes in my face

My chores are like flying a kite!

Aimee Stewart – “Gypsy Firefly”

 

 

 

 

Don’t want to be made of cardboard–

Or of feathers blown away.

Nor Gorilla Glue, or staples–holding me in sway.

Don’t want foundations faulty–

Or cornerstones that cringe.

It’s sturdy dreams I’m after—that will hold and not unhinge!

Béla Török – “Misty Lake”

 

It seems like I should be hearing a flute playing
With the wind carrying its song down past the fog and the distance

It seems like I should be shivering from the cold
Since my jacket was thoughtlessly tossed back on the mason wall

It seems like I should be upset with this serendipity—
This spontaneous wandering by this unknown lake

It seems like I should want to be somewhere else—
But somewhere else wouldn’t be half as good as this wonderland

How grand that things aren’t what “they seem” and unexpected detours
can still lead us to surprising beauty!

Béla Török – “Blue Moon”

Glimmering, shimmering, fantastical hues
Night watchman watching the grays and the blues

Azure and cobalt so framed by the dark
And there hangs that orb like a lone patriarch

Flittering, jittering thoughts running through
As softly repeating Swing songs set the mood

And with coffee “just right” from a thermos in plaid
The watchman just whispers, “night shift’s not so bad!”

Allison Ashton – “Lifted”

Throw out the streamers
Bring out the punch
Reach for the heavens and dream

Dress up “as you like”
With a smile and a hope
And bask in celestial theme

Kick up those red heels
And toss out your fears
They’re holding you back no more

Yes, life’s within reach
One heartbeat away
And it’s what you were put here for!

Bob Bennett – “Private Retreat”

Remnants of a bygone day
Pieces of a distance past
Splinters reach horizon high
Shadows speak as they are cast

Architects long left behind …
But cobbled stones connect the view
Seems like such a hallowed place
Enwrapped in silence—me and you!

Chris Palmer – “Reflections”

The wide expanse is like a pond of icy glass
I can see the sky’s reflection in the stone
And the trickling ribbons of light are like fingers of newness

As I tilt my head to look sideways, I see symmetry
Lines reflecting lines and clouds that are bookends
With rainbows hiding behind the concrete history

The quiet of the early dawn soothes the soul
And the lone worker seems like poetry in motion
As his left-to-right routine removes the traces of yesterday’s crowds

A person’s work can seem mundane to themselves
But from this perspective it is an act of beauty
His frame upon this street of solitude has become a work of art

“From the Brink”

From the funnel
From the tunnel
From cascading fright

From the ashes
From the caskets
From the dead of night

Came the whirlwind
Came the image
Came the eyes of hope

From the edge, and
From the brink
I stand. I live. I cope.

“Turn the Page”

You’re a volume still in progress—the outcome’s yet unknown.
Until you reach the graveyard, nothing’s set in stone!

If you’ve hit too many highways & your paths have tangled weeds,
Don’t forget that nothing’s static—you can always plant new seeds.

‘Cause every day has prospects—new horizons can be found.
Your book of life’s unfolding as you reach for higher ground!

If tomorrow holds some failure, then you’re doing a good job.
Since failure leads to triumph—your success will not be robbed.

Yes, your life can be a rewrite—you can whistle some new song.
You can turn the page and turn the tides…and still move on along.
