Footsteps

Footsteps in the sand
Walking from sea to land
No clue from where they came
Whether different or the same

In their path faded proof that I too exist
But lost in thought hints of me all but missed
Waters cleansing return will leave no trace
Never knowing their thoughts nor seen their face

EnvyFrom afar we look the same

Fly gracefully high and glide the winds

Up close to them bestowed all  fame

On inspection my reputation dims

Perched in tree perceived more regale

Than daring clutch to cliff face rocks

Even with bald head glory to golden eagle

For me disdain for red head  mocked

Fading

Warmed by sun as days go long 
Earth blanket hides me from eyes view
My head is raised when snow is gone 
Life unique newly found by you

Though I blossom with each passing day
All around beauty is quickly cloned  
Fortunate your path came my way
When your eyes could see me alone 

My beauty will fade along with spring
But forever remembered from stories told
Of solitary beauty that you will sing
Although died too soon, never to be old

Laura’s walk

Laura takes us past streams of blue
Guiding friends old and new
Sun shines down contented six well met
Along the shore we start our trek

Take in views of swans gracefull glide
As boats rock gently from side to side
Images reflected doubles our delight
Winding path reveals more beauty to our sight

Aound last corner comes just reward
For conquering our long but happy road
Food, friends and wine bless our return
Laughing now, rest in sweet sojourn

LifesAnchor
 
Once I sailed the oceans deep
Below the crew rested easy in their sleep
Ever returning safely back to land
Captain seeking lighted bean avoided hidden sand
 —-
Rode the waves from Neptune’s fork
Sails filled with wind  mast stalwart
Crossed the seas and round the capes
Over ocean and through the straights
—-
Voyagers carried from distant  ports
Exotic wares from foreign lands I did escort
Now my hull has sunk to oceans depth
Naught but  iron cross of me is left
—–
Treasures now but memorries and forgotten lore
For those who brave this rocky shore
Think hard as you  gaze on remains of me
What will anchor your short life’s  legacy

Anticipation

Reflection

 Clouds withdraw allowing sun to hearten

As shadows fade with rising curtain

Dead leaves removed by wind shaking branches

Shores wiped clean by flowing streams new dances

Trees gaze at their own reflections

At their best to gain affection

Birds on water and flying high give pause

Then gift approval with flapping wings applause

To call our leading lady home once more

Air vibrates with rising expectation

Of your return as heart beats anticipation
