Beneath the brightest moment

We move through the days
spinning wildly away
wondering where does this thing called time
fly off to while we look the other way.
Memories and faces remembered,
the times of our lives lived fully
and nestled away we dust off the image,
smiling at the moments
never realizing then
that we would carry it with us,
those laughs and tears
the lightest of years,
and so many no longer
in a place of sight,
we keep alive in our minds horizon
the precious ones gone
yet still they shine
beneath the brightest moments relived.
Days will keep moving
and we will shuffle along
being in the mix of light and dark
we cast our spell of kindness and joy
in places new and old,
we still remain changing daily
and standing tall we recreate
to suit our need,
diving into the life we live
holding gratitude in our souls
and love in our hearts
a treasure we cherish
on days like these.

Wishing you all far and wide, a Happy Thanksgiving from my home to yours. Peace and blessings for a day filled with new memories made and loved ones far away or no longer with us remembered with kindness and love ❤ I am blessed indeed. ❤

Treasure found

I asked of the seas
What treasures do you have for me?
The waves moved in
Then sucked back out again
And the sand was bare
With just a bit of seaweed there.
I asked of the skies
What show will you have for tired eyes to see?
While the sparkling lights laughed gently
Then hid behind clouds
And sister moon clung behind trees
The rain fell suddenly
That eyes held only empty tears for me.
I asked to the universe
Can I have my truest desires, is there anything in
The box of tricks left for me?
I was given a friend,
I was given peace,
I was given words of wisdom,
I was given love,
I was given everything.
I gave all I had in return,
Gratitude and love.
I realized I had all I needed
And all that I wanted.
I had only needed to shine that light within,
Open the treasure chest
And share all that I had
And the box became full
And I emptied it out again
But it keeps turning up full
So if you need a treasure
I’ve got many to spare,
Given with love and a soul that cares.

Feeling gratitude for the simple things today. Life is a treasure that we all can share.
Everyday!
