Without Trust

I won’t tell you what’s wrong with me,

as I don’t trust you to care.

You’ll give those standard answers,

the ones you have prepared.

I don’t think I’d tell you anything,

of emotions that run deep.

I know you would not manage well,

it may interrupt your sleep.

You see, I know that it’s all one sided,

and it doesn’t work both ways.

You only want to hear from me,

on the brightest of my days.

When I can give all my time to you,

and treat you like a king.

Hang on to your every word,

meet your every whim.

So we shall go on pretending,

that everything is grand.

It can’t be any other way,

you’ll never understand.

So I won’t tell you why I’m so sad,

I don’t think you want to know.

Our relationships so pointless now,

as it has nowhere else to go.

Nature Lessons 107

Once the seed of love is sown it grows into something quite magnificent. When we send out love into the world in our actions and thoughts, we are like gardeners. With each seed we sow love flourishes. The garden of love takes but a few seeds and a little care and attention along the way.

Opening the Heart

Each loving or kind thought that touches the heart, opens the heart, just as misery and sadness close the heart.  Even when going through more difficult times, feed the heart with loving thoughts, even if these are only the kindness and love you owe to yourself. Treated with love and kindness the heart will remain open.

What Colour is Love?

Is it the deepest red of blood, of passion and lips.

The pink of sweet fairies to the pinkest rose hips.

The white of the purest and brightest universal light.

Then lilac to purple, from dawn through to night.

Orange through to peach and all things in between.

Buds yet still to open, the wonder to be seen.

Yellow for friendship, for the sunshine up above.

So can you please tell me, what colour is love?

Nature Lessons 102

Not everything in life is grand, not everything that is of value needs to cost a fortune.  A beautiful life is made up of small moments, precious moments, like those spent with friends and family. These are the treasures to hold onto, the treasures that will last a lifetime.

Treasure

I’m rich in life in so many ways,

and I’m not counting money.

I haven’t got too much of that,

it’s not money that makes you funny.

I’m wealthy when it comes to friends,

the very special kind.

Those that get me without words,

the friends that can read my mind.

I have a treasure trove of memories,

a collection of beautiful things.

A panoply of love and dreams,

No need for armour with wings.

Joy that fills each and every day,

costs nothing but my time.

Time I have for those I love,

that helps make my life sublime.

Faded – DP (2)

Those silhouettes in the frame are faded now,

nearly out of sight.

Only a mixture of greys today,

where once they were black and white.

The necklace you wore on your wedding day,

just a pile of pearls.

I remember it hung round your tiny neck,

catching in your curls.

I see your handwriting on paper,

but can’t hear a voice anymore.

Listening to your favourite opera,

while focussed on keeping score.

Your fading out of my life dear,

while I’m trying to hold on tight.

Please visit with a small reminder,

come into my dreams tonight.

It might be just a small weed but it blows freely in the wind spreading itself far and wide.  I think that the pleasure it gets from what it gives out maybe far greater than the adoration other flowers might get from their beauty.  It doesn’t take an awful lot to leave bits of yourself with those you pass, kindness, happy memories and something to think about.  It’s a beautiful thing to touch others with love and kindness as you pass along your way.
