♥ Waiting For Wilbur ♥

You run green fields and chase the clouds.
No boundaries. No sorrow. No pain.
Although I want to be with you, it is here where I remain.
Our memories are comfort now.
So treasured. So welcomed. So strong.
Although you are in another place, it is here where I belong.
One day, I know, I’ll cross the bridge.
Over stars. Beyond clouds. By the sea.
But until I travel to rainbows end, by the shore, Wilbur waits for me.

♥ I Miss You ♥

Another year without you
Tears flow – within this broken heart of mine
I am never complete
A shadow of my former self
You went to the Garden of Paradise this day, that year
I should be happy for you, but I wish you were here so much
And all I can do is cry.

Metamorphosis

I watched a butterfly dry his wings
On a sun warmed blade of grass.
A dry cocoon fell to the ground.
The need for it was past.
Not long ago a squirmy worm
Had wriggled up this way,
But now this flying flower
Had brightened up my day.
The caterpillar wasn't gone,
But changed, so he could fly.
He left his former way of life
Without a tear or sigh.
I wonder if the caterpillars
That he left behind
Wonder what became of him
Or knew what he would find?
Did they try to hold on to him?
Do they miss him? Do they mourn?
Do they know he isn't gone,
But that he has been reborn?
It can be hard to say good-bye.
It can hurt to let go.
But, sometimes, that's the only way
Those lovely wings can grow.

An Angel's Kiss

Your breath is the song that the morning sings,
Chirping birds, fluttering angel wings,
Daylight dances on the air;
Leaves rustle unaware.

Quietly, thoughts of you wander through my mind,
A gentle breeze on my face I find;
As if a kiss delivered to me
By the angels I know are there, but cannot see.

Just like the love that will never end,
I long to call this sorrow my friend.

To believe in Angels
is to celebrate a reality
you cannot see,
to respect a realm
you're not ready for yet

And a Little Dog Waits....

A little dog waits patiently,
'Neath the shade of a big leafy tree.
He watches the others romp and play,
But he's found his spot and there he'll stay.

A woman waits with a broken heart,
Remembering it all right from the start.
A funny little pup with a squeaky bark,
A first night at home, a first walk in the park.

The little dog knows there'll come a day,
When the woman returns and comes to play.
He remembers her tears, the sound of her heart
As it shattered the day Death tore them apart.

The woman waits with her silent tears,
Her sorrow, her anger, her quiet fears.
Who's caressing this little dog's golden head...
Who lets him sleep on the foot of their bed?

Ever so patiently the little dog lies...
Ignoring the bunnies and butterflies.
She said she'd come and that makes it true,
He remembers so clearly she wanted to go too.

He understood that she had to stay,
On that hot July day when he went away.
And a little dog lies in the shade of a tree,
And ever so patiently.....he waits just for me.

Touch Me

Touch me with your voice as a puppy young and new,
And let me know my presence is what is pleasing you.

Touch me with your spirit, for God sent me here to you,
To teach you of that precious bond known by the choicest few.

Touch me with your hands as I grow tall and strong,
I need you as my mentor through out my whole life long.

Touch me with your lips, and brush them softly on my brow,
Please kiss away the fears that I am feeling now.

Touch me with your eyes as I become full grown,
To validate unspoken love that we have always known.

Touch me with your heart as our bond keeps growing stronger
And words need not be used in our language any longer.

Touch me with your breath, so soft and warm upon my face,
As I try to bring you comfort in life's never ending race.

Touch me with your love when my muzzle turns to gray,
I live my life to please you, each and every single day.

Touch me with your scent when age has dimmed my sight,
To reassure me always that you will be my light.

Touch me with your face when your tears are meant for me,
So I may bear your pain and let your heart be free.

Touch me with remembrance when I have traveled on,
And, I will hold your heart in mine forever when I'm gone.

Thee,
I've touched
and kissed,
and loved you...
... now I
float in
clouds
above you.

Memories
please me
from my
past
transparent shadows
purely
cast.

Though my
corpse
on earth
remains
My spirit lives
in this
domain...

...And like a rose
in desert's
sun.
A miracle
is what
I have
become.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

ღ Signs ღ
(By Jamie Van Der Meer)

My angel sends a butterfly,
To land upon my arm.
They send me signs to let me know,
They’re safe & loved & warm.

My angel sends me rainbows
On a cloudy day.
I understand that they are near,
And things will be okay.

Today they sent me snowflakes,
From a sunny sky above.
I could feel their presence,
And the power of their love.

My angel sends me little signs
In the moon and skies
The signs are subtle, yet I know,
They're meant just for my eyes.

I look for all these little signs,
To comfort me each day.
The signs can even make me laugh,
My angel loves to play!

These signs are The Creator's things,
And you might think it's odd,
To believe my angel sends these signs,
They do...they’re one with God.
︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽
ღ Pax ღ
(By D.H. Lawrence)

All that matters is to be at one with the living God
To be a creature in the house of the God of Life.

Like a cat asleep on a chair
at peace, in peace
and at one with the master of the house,
with the mistress at home,
at home in the house of the living,
sleeping on the hearth, and yawning before the fire.

Sleeping on the hearth of the living world,
yawning at home before the fire of life
feeling the presence of the living God
like a great reassurance
a deep calm in the heart
a presence
as of a master sitting at the board
in his own and greater being,
in the house of life.

||♥|| The Window of Heaven ||♥||

The window of Heaven is open,
The angels can fly to and fro,
And those that I love can all gather,
And look down at Christmas below.

For Christmas is special in Heaven,
The love is so easy to see,
And down from the window at Christmas,
God sends a present to me.

"I will forever be with you,
Your side, I shall always be near,
And though you may not always see me,
In your heart I will always be there.

I will warm up your soul during Christmas,
My love is a fire burning bright,
Then my blanket of love will surround you,
And keep you all through the night.

On the brink of your Christmas morning,
I'll be the star at the top of the tree,
Shining my light on your teardrops,
You'll see a reflection of me.

Then as the gifts are all opened,
With the children encircling the hearth,
Look deep in their little faces,
Their kisses will be from my heart.

For the window of Heaven is open,
My love can pour out so free,
And those that I love can all gather,
And look up to Heaven at me."
