Haiku - Forgiveness

For -given, -gotten,

Clouds blow through, the sky changes,

My hands are best buds.

Inspiring one smile

I searched my blog for smiles and found these...

I love talking about smiles!

The only thing unavoidable is the big smile in my heart.

The smile of your presence lingers within me, warming the place we share.

May every nurturing moment of life speak the secret joyful to your inner self, one that sparkles with immensity, creates divine curiosity, beckons and remains as a significantly tantalizing smile of warmest satisfaction.

 

May smile shared anticipate smile returned by friendship's warm glow.

May receiving put a twinkle in your eye, a flush in your cheeks, and a smile on your lips.

I think of nothing else, and this smile left behind, ahhh, divine, winsome, effortless.

Depths quiet at your approach, the shyness of smile responds.

To the unaware I appear vacant, gazing into neverland, transfixed with
a sudden smile.

----- Haiku on a smile ----

impulse of the child
inside it's all poetic
suddenly you smile

 -----

"Inspiring one smile made my day".

The light of your smile is amazing.

The light of your smile illuminates every dark place within.

That smile infuses my mind and bends the corners of my mouth upward.

Your smile, your hand, gentle encouragement became the adorable key.

I remember the many times you used your favorite word for me, "boisterous", you would say with a knowing smile.

Love Letter No 95 - PS Love

There is much to tell you.
I will wait till I can share with you in person.
Please understand this, I am overwhelmed,

I am simply over-matched.
Another piece of life's puzzle has been placed.
With warm and tender affection,
LarryG

Love Letter No 94 - Quiet Love

Dear J,

You are a vision, seeing is knowing. The quiet moment thrills to hear your voice calling, sounding equally within and without. Depths quiet at your approach, the shyness of smile responds. The depth of connection complimented by the unspoken, affirmed by gaze. The gentle quiet as prayer is shared.

Then soft as a whisper, unwilling to interrupt the rhythm of eternity, awareness turns toward speechlessness.  The murmur that escapes held passion, no voice to speak an ecstasy shared. Quiet love visible in a sunset to crown the day.

Quiet love shared, how everything has changed!

With warm and tender affection,
L

Love Letter No 93 - Always Love

Dear K,

Thrilling the moment our eyes met in knowing,

Breathtaking the cue the rush of your touching,

Heart-stopping the sigh of embraces fulfillment,

And always, always, always love.

Rising the spirit in joining together's song,

Dancing the soul's effervescent display,

Flailing at boundaries united hearts erase.

And always, always, always love.

With warm and tender affection,
L

Haiku Karma

Can't hide from spirit,

Presence with me, brain blower!

says pslamist David

to bless health

It seems obvious now, hindsight is 20/20, 

may health become the point before hindsight is needed.

Not a passing fad, no crash diet, nor latest exercise craze,

may health infect reasoning with primal self preserving wisdom.

May steps before produce days of golden glowing radiance.

May laughter, that best medicine, be indulged in often and with gusto.

May healing friendship touch the worries of the heart.

May the health within you be multiplied as a blessing to many.

And should setback come, may it be temporary.
May you hear the spirit whisper direction in your ear that provides 

protection all along the way. 

Listen, health speaks each day, follow on, follow on.

To give and risk -

To give and risk one's self for friendship sake

As spring offers life and brings renewal

Another's dream and hope it will re-make

Passion of life, sharing is sure to fuel.

With ease a kiss, a hug or word, The tool

that lifts the dearest heart from past regret

instills the will of faith and love, you bet!

Love Letter No 92 - Bouquet Love

Dear M,

The sweetness of rose shares

the fragrance of connection.

The simplicity of daisy whispers

alternately last petal's word,

"I love you."

Baby's breath a quiet witness

on to delicate beauty

gripping life. 

Lily trumpets joy

of resurrection gift love 

has bestowed.

Freesia, exotic intoxication

mutually shared.

Hibiscus soul touching

healing and refreshment.

Sweet pea entwines as it climbs

the tower room of hidden delight.

Buttercup to gently offer this

sweetness for approval.

Carnations' fascination ploys the

mind to embrace love's rainbow

of colorful wonder.

The basket of my heart to deliver

love's truest desire.

With warm and tender affection,
L

Having a very good time...

I have been having such a great time for such a long time.
I am taking a bit of a break.

One Heart's Golden Rule

Humanity does not need proof of God the divine, Christ the crucified and resurrected, Holy Spirit the comforting presence.

The heart longs for an experience with God the divine, Christ the crucified and resurrected, Holy Spirit the comforting presence.

In reaching out to others I want to be careful to offer my experience, not my proof.

And then my heart treats your heart as my heart wishes to be treated. (One Heart's Golden Rule)

tiny flowers

It was a first meet up.
A warm sunny afternoon. 
We were walking looking at the lake.
There in the grass stood two wee flowers, not over an inch tall and no bigger around than a shirt button each.
They were proud and vibrant in spite of their small stature. 
We noticed at the same time. 
It was a moment of wonder, awe, mystery.
Beauty revealed by tiny flowers 
Two hearts encouraged to share.
Admonished by these two small flowers to grow gracefully together.

God Poem

High in Heaven, near to the earth
Sweep Spirit over the land
In my free thought and deepest emotion
Sweep Spirit into me.
Blow wind of Spirit free your child again
Fill wind of Spirit, Fill this space with love
Between brothers and sister, of all nations
Blow into your children Spirit, all that you have formed.
Blow your praise upon us, that we in turn may sing
Blow Spirit over us this offering we bring.

Dear C,

Thinking over the last few days,

Your sweetness complete, special ways,

heart like mine spills over, each word,

attempting explanation, love is assured.

My soul is bursting with internal connecting,

Together love's largesse lavish protecting.

When it's bigger than only you and me,

for any observer most plain to see.

The awesome result of blissful affection,

Bold the gifts, generous the protection.

With deep and tender affection,

Love Letter No 90 - Unavoidable Love

Dear J,

So you thought I wrote for you and told me so, it should have been, I avoided writing it. Our common friend probably warned us both, she is so sweet and smart. Something to take to heart sweet one. Who would have thought there would be an unavoidable party to attend. Words so unavoidable to share. Like she wore red and I wore out the words "you're ravishing." And even the avoidable part seems unavoidable now. I keep thinking it must be getting late, something unavoidable headed this way, but the only thing unavoidable is the big smile in my heart.

With deep and tender affection, 

LarryG

Haiku Bluebirds

the more  it changes

expression releases me

bluebirds grace the wind

to bless unlocking

T

Dawn's light presents a precious gift,

may the gift's unlocking aid its own receiving.

Morning coffee unlocks an aroma of alertness,

may the fragrance of release awaken intuition.

Midday friends share conversation and meals,

may this unlock gifts of life.

Afternoon work has wonderful fruit,

may labor unlock creativity's best results.

Family arrival unlocks hopes for a new generation,

may your blessing unlock dreams and talents.

Evenings of sharing yield laughter and connection,

may relaxation or activity unlock new strengths.

May the depth of evening gather the beloved of the heart,

the unlocking of gentle sharing kindness begets.

Moonlight's depth and stardust reign o'er restful night,

may rest unlock the inner desires of the heart.

As the ear hears each unique tone of the wind chime,

and within the summer hum of a thousand insects the one insect

can be heard, may the deft unlocking of the moments around

the clock be received.

Is there a place (Day 66) - journal 1

Is there a place in my heart,

opposite the place in yours,

can we interlock our lives,

complete each other?

Complete a lost feeling within, 

am I finally going to realize,

can things ultimately crystallize,

no weight inside gushing forth. 

Turning about what I was thinking,

Someone will lock away a heart,

Someone does share the elements,

Completeness and someone, yet no.

***the 66th day from the journal of remembrance
