Day begins with Joy

Easter Sunday begins with sunshine and bird song, inspiring a new poem:

Sunshine and warm air
Bird song, hear the happiness
Day begins with Joy

Slow down and be more aware

There are times when I'm too busy to pay close attention to life around me.

It is healthy to slow down and be more 'in touch' with life NOW!

Writing these short poems is good for me -- it reminds me that what is happening now, around me, is important.

I had that reminder this morning and here are 2 new poems:

Awake in darkness
Peaceful and Quiet moments
Sunshine arrives soon

Awake to memories
Shift awareness to future
Winter yields to Spring

Winter rain

Cold rain falls today
Wind, weather outside the home
Inside, warmth and peace

Joy

Joy comes from within
Bubbling up like fresh water
Well overflowing.

Stormy Weather

We're having a series of storms this weekend in Northern California.

I wrote this poem as I realized that there can be different attitudes and perspectives about the weather.

The rain continues
The Sun is behind the clouds
Imagine it shines.

Where does the inspiration come from?

I began to wonder where these poems come from. They seem to flow from a source within, and one day I wrote a poem about that idea:

These Haiku poems,
Flow from the Spirit within,
Like a tree breathes air.

Two New Poems

Here are a couple poems I created in November 2007:

Joy pulls me forward
See carrot on stick ahead
Dreams become more real

Stormy times appear
Listen to Inner Guidance
Smooth sailing again
