Rainbows ~

Once on holiday in Galveston, Texas
There was a rainbow that ended right on the seawall at my feet
I danced like a giddy child in the streams of color

Then when my uncle passed away
I was with my family celebrating his life
There in the sky was a double rainbow

In m questions of faith and life after death
After losing my most beloved grandmother
Again unbelievably before my eyes, a double rainbow

Now here I am alone and in a quiet peaceful place
After the evenings summer rain
Without a doubt it is always there in it ethyl beauty

As if on cue everytime, as I step outside onto the lanai
I feel it is there just for me leaving me to wonder
A message perhaps whispering softly for me to stay

Maybe I am meant to be here in the place and time
So near the Gulf that tugs at my very soul
For whatever reason the rainbow seems to send a message

I am here in the place for a reason
It seems to reassure me in some way
That yes this for now is the place that I am to be

Dream Sweet Dreams ~

Last night I stroked your sleeping face
As you drifted into the shadow of dreams
I whispered into the night, sleep soundly my love

As we lay side by side
I listen to the sound of your soft steady breathing
Not wanting to break the magic of the night

Fighting off the demand of my body to sleep
I silently watch you in your slumber
Etching every detail of you in my memory

I can feel the sweet warmth of sleep approaching
So, till I awaken wrapped in your arms
Dream sweet dreams and sleep well my love

Little girls dream of their prince charming
They read Sleep Beauty and Cinderella
They wish on stars and birthday candles

Mothers say prayers for their daughters
So they will be blessed and among the few
May she be the one...to have them all come true

I made my wishes and dreamed my dreams
I waited and watched and thought all was lost
And then from a land far away...you came

You brought me my glass slipper
And your kisses broke the spell
Dreams do come true...mine have with you

July Through September ~

In July we began as friends
Then moved on to lovers
Our tender destiny for this time and place

August came and we embraced it bravely
Our bodies and souls entwined like delicate lace
I wish my dreams could stop the hourglass of our fate

Too soon it was September and our time would end
I'll always remember it fondly and will never forget
From friends to lovers and back again

Life's Dance ~

Life has its own unique dance to offer
My own is like the sea, sometimes soothing and calm
And other times with strong currents and storms

Growing together and at times apart
Through joy and laughter and broken hearts
It is all part of this dance of life we share

All of these have their purpose and meaning
It is for us to accept and understand
For that is our challenge with the offer of the dance

Let Me, Let You Go ~

 The beauty of you and the way you touched my life
As precious and lovely as anything I could have ever imagined
But for now my love let me, let you go

Nothing will ever stop the aching and yearning for more
One more touch, one more smile, one more moment to look in your eyes
Just to hold you, to see your beautiful face, but I have to let you go

To try to hold on, too long and too tight would never be right
I will hold you close in my heart and carry you with me after this life
But for now my love let me, let you go

From the moment you came into my life you brought joy and light
For all the moments in time that you were a part of of my life
You will always and forever have a treasured space in my heart

You will be with me under the shining stars at night
I will feel you on a warm summer breeze blowing over a sunlit sea
Together again someday we shall be, but for now my angel...fly free

Precious Life

Life can change in a bright beautiful twinkle of an eye

Or in a most brutal life changing way

In all of it, we are to learn

 

The precious moments should be treasured

Precious moments are each and every moment

To know every single moment is dear and fragile

 

Do not just sit there and watch it all go by

In the twinkle of an eye, it can all change

So love and embrace every moment in this time

Your spirit inspires me, do not give up fighting

I love you

 

Finger Prints ~

 

 
The fingerprints of our lives

Will never fade away

For each life that we touch

We effect or perhaps change

 

 With every impression made

May it leave a sweet warm memory

The empression left will never change

Make each and every fingerprint count

 

Let the lives that you touch

Remember you fondly

It is up to you

So let them be remembered well

This is a story from my past ~

A Divine Meeting Of Souls

by Shelia Felker on Thursday, March 17, 2011 at 4:27pm

As much as I did not want to leave the house today I had to go run a few errands.  Walking through a parking lot a man of Jamaican decent said your light is beautiful so white and bright.  I shook my head and kept on walking, he said is that not how you feel?  I turned and walked back to where he stood and said no it is not.  My family has lost 3 young people within a 3 week period.  I also felt compelled to continue, I told him I feel the energy from family, friends and things happening all over the world, like what is going on in Japan and on the continent of Africa.  I told him I sometimes wish it would just stop so I could have a break because it can be some overwhelming. I oddly kept talking and I told him I am an intuitive empath with no fear of being judged from this stranger.  I have dreams of things that come to pass, have felt others physical pain and outcome.  I know something will happen before it happens even though I may not know exactly what or where.  I reached out and hugged him and he held me tight as I said I do not know if it is a curse or a gift....

 He said I know mine to be a gift as he removed his sunglasses and said he wanted me be able to look into his eyes.  He asked me do you know why God gave this to you, my first response was no.  He looked at me and said yes you do, I said yes because I am strong enough to take it.  He slowly shook his head up and down and said yes because you can take it you are strong.  He said he would never have known the torment I was in because my aura was shining brilliant white light and he said it is surrounding you.  Again I hugged this stranger tightly; I thanked him and walked away with tears rolling down my face......

A random meeting of divine souls...

This story is true and happened to me today, he came out of the blue as if our encounter was truly divine in nature.  It came to me in a time of great need and assurance, so thank you to the powers that be and to my Jamaican angel~~~

I know that I am putting myself out there for some who will judge me and others who will not....Today I am giving myself permission to admit that this is who I am, perhaps that was the lesson I was to learn.......
