sky and sea

sky and sea

skyandsea

 

quiet winter shore

quiet winter shore

a quiet winter shore

in stillness

roots and water

just listen in stillness

echoes of paradise

calling to the deepest

places in your heart

where oneness

awaits your surrender

a quiet bow of the head

on your knees

you listen in stillness

the eternal song

beckons you

to the peace

of forgiveness and rest

father daughter dance

father daughter dance

This is not my image. It was taken this summer by Keegan Adriance, the AY-MAY-ZING photographer for my oldest daughter’s wedding (http://gentandalady.com). I shared this on my personal Facebook page, but wanted to share it with my WordPress family as well. When the pictures were sent to us this one grabbed my attention and the words below are my reflections.

we danced under the stars that night
just like my heart danced
when i first held you

and the stars were singing then
as i sang my first lullaby for you
a father, daughter dance

we have been dancing
together
ever since i held
your tiny finger in my hand

i’d rather not let you go
but it’s alright
it’s okay
it seems the time has come
time to see you dance
and shine
oneness is your song

i’ll never forget
this father daughter dance
i’ll hum with the stars
as i watch you grow
dancing with your lover

Andrea
always remember
the stars are still singing
step into the story
of the dance
He is weaving

i am still holding you
i suppose in a way
in my heart
i’ll never stop dancing
the father, daughter
dance

a better yesterday

minooka sunset

yesterday is here again

let the confessions begin

i should have called

i should have smiled

moments void of love

Lord-  …please forgive me

at last the light fades

and the stars accompany my reflections

tomorrow will you sing for me

tomorrow i will make you

a better

yesterday

 

 

stillness and light

at days end

stillness and light
here we are again
such a long day
are you holding all the moments
that so quickly passed me by
 
stillness and light
time has taken my love
my shame
my ruin
and laughter
and made memories of them all
 
stillness and light
i would ask you
to politely return them all
but i know you won’t
but it’s okay
 
stillness and light
don’t go
linger just a while
i love this moment
and hate to see it end
but moments are ending all the time
 
stillness and light
it’s your beauty
speaking to my soul
untold wonder
truth
and that nagging sense of eternity
 
stillness and light
i may not be here again at days end
so thank you
thank you for today

river sky

riversky

river sky is it too much to ask that you stay awhile

winter has been so dark and lonely and i miss seeing your clouds

as they dance along the river carrying the day away to a distant sea

river sky just stay awhile and if you must leave

then take me with you to the sea… please take me with you to the sea

and so i decided to run along the shore of my life

all the shells are still there

scattered shattered memories washed by the sea

wind and sand, salt and sun, time and rain

the ocean sings the waves dance

it has always been the way of grace

love is here

i am grateful

for all the love that is here

 

cross the bridge

5 mile bridge again

cross the bridge

or stay right here

i’m scared

i’m not so sure

if I can

cross the bridge

i’m okay

right here

right now

what if

i mean

what if

i cross

the bridge

take my hand

lets go

 

 

 

abandoned

abandoned

i suppose
it was all in my head
but then again
isn’t it always
assumptions
take root
and a heart soars
it was a
rough landing
never saw it coming
can’t we…
     …just wait…
          …please…
               …abandoned…
