When we give birth to something, we create something beautiful. Ideas are born into the world and need to be nurtured to grow and reach their full potential.

Writers Write
So your mind is full of random words,
weird sentences in parts.
You want to get it down somehow,
but don’t know where to start.
So you want to be a writer,
maybe write that book one day.
Writers, write you know not talk,
that is all that I can say.
So you have read all the classics,
although your not too sure.
Plan to read more before you write,
as ideas you want to store.
You want to write a blockbuster,
that would work as a screenplay.
Writers, write you know not talk,
that is all that I can say.
Ideas pop into your mind,
but you never jot them down.
and then they pop right out again,
they are nowhere to be found.
Your looking for inspiration,
until then plan is vague.
Writers, write you know not talk,
that is all that I can say.
Your going to buy some post it notes,
to capture all your dreams.
Leave some paper by your bed,
you won’t be needing reams.
Your going to write tomorrow,
or maybe the next day.
Writers, write you know not talk,
that is all that I can say.
You worry about what others will think,
your not good at criticism.
You’ll keep your writing to yourself,
until you find your rhythm.
Then you’ll emerge a great writer,
it’s what the critics will say.
Writers, write you know not talk,
that is all that I can say.
What Flower’s Say
Oh, I say, you have a visitor, he is stripy I can see
How kind of you to be so sweet for that little bee
I suppose with summer ending, choices now are few
It’s very sweet he stopped to sup upon a girl like you
Storm
Looking out my window, it is so clear that you are there,
whipping the trees like custard, a tile flying in the air.
birds have flown to outwit you, or hiding in the trees,
hard rain washing windows, though it’s difficult to see.
Who knew a storm was coming, did the weatherman lie,
did you sneak up from nowhere, to take us by surprise.
Bang, and the bin fell over, the garbage is doing a dance
will you be gone by lunchtime, is there the slightest chance?
Courage
Courage and strength come with perserverence.
Finding these qualities comes through our endurance.
We go through life constantly coming up against difficulties, find ourselves in situations where we need to gather all our strength to succeed, achieve or reach our goal. Life has a way of presenting these obstacles just at a time we don’t need them.
We endure these periods by going within and somehow finding the strength to continue, for however long it takes and sometime this might be years. Through our ability to find this strength in times of need, however hard it appears to be at the times, we develop an inward strength, one that will see us through our lives, strengthen our spirit and see us along the way.
Courage is developed in the hard knock school of life. It is a quality that comes through the experience and endurance of pain. It is gained through love that is not returned but still given out, it is gained through loneliness, poverty, grief and loss. Courage is gained in a multitude of ways but it builds us and makes us into the people we are today.
Courage strengthens the spirit and when we strengthen our spirit we are more able to live as our true selves, not afraid of what others think of us, happy to accept criticism but at the same time be able to speak our own truth. We are no longer sheep and if necessary we can stand firm and face any opposition.
So whatever lessons are ahead of us we have to see them as such and know we can endure them and strengthen our spirits and become better, stronger, people.
Nature Lessons 34
If you are blessed with good family and friends, no matter how far away they are or how often you get to speak, treasure them. These are the people who carry you through life and make the more difficult times easier to bare. Life passes in an instant, let those you love know you are grateful for their love and friendship.

If we live…
If we live simply with purity and love,
that which opens doorways to light above.
We will live a life that’s full, as love returns it is life’s rule.
If we hold onto our inward soul,
through all journey’s and where life goes.
We will travel with our friends, who stay until the journey ends
If we allow nature to inspire the man,
dance truly with it’s beauty when we can.
We will be sheltered from any storms, a life of joy as we transform.
If we live with wonder and joy like a child,
with a gentleness, using words that are mild.
We will experience a life of discovery, there’ll be no need for recovery
If we allow others to just be,
love and laugh but not disagree.
We will live a life of richness, free from stress and hopefully sickness.

Added the last line on what I was writing to fit with the daily word prompt – Disagree 😉
Start of Day
She rose once more from the blackness
Night screamed silently as she left
Dawn jumped and leaped up to greet her
Knocking the birds from their nests
Flowers woke from their slumber
Opening petals to greet the day
Animals bowed to her majesty
For she’s keeping winter at bay
She climbed to the height of angels
Soft clouds cushioning her steps
She shone down on all of creation
She will stay there until she sets.
A Question of Empathy
Can you find it in yourself,
to wear another mans shoes.
Walk the path he’s trodden,
experience his moods.
Can you empathise with him,
understand his woes.
Does it help you if you see,
the way he chose to go.
Do you have an ability,
to show you care, that’s all.
offer genuine sympathy,
without setting out your stall.
Can you manage feelings,
that come as an onslaught.
Think upon it sensitively,
not refer to rules life’s taught.
Can you respond without reacting,
thinking carefully.
Offering sound guidance,
without transferring to ‘me’.
Can you really listen,
and respond to what you hear.
Can you be of real help,
are you able to persevere.
Love as a Child
Love like a child with wonder and amazement,
not with expectation, nor to make a statement.
Love with wild abandon, love without conditions,
not through any greed or of gaining acquisitions.
Love with a gentle kindness, hope and charity,
as love is a revelation, that many will not see.
Love with a simplicity, with honesty that is true.
with passion in happiness and passion when blue.
Love with a purity, with a gentleness that’s light.
Love with all you feel, love with all your might.
