Living as an avatar
One can never see
A life once lived
Fighting to be free
In a different reality
From eons long ago
Leaving a carcass
Few ever did know
Illusions can destroy
Even though not real
Numbing the ability
To reason or feel
Existing in limbo
Seeking a cure
To live without an avatar
Able to happily endure
Making a new life
Proudly wearing name
Out in the open
Without any shame

He traveled dusty roads
Armed with honesty
Seeking freedom for all
His deeds will live in history
As a man with an aura
Reaching out to large and small
Multitudes hearing his voice
Quickly answered his call
Sick of years of oppression
Where none had a say
Except to exist under rulers
Obeying things their way
The people became inspired
They surrounded this man
Enlightening their life
With a peaceful freedom plan

Like the sap in a maple
Slowly drips about
Rolls the pen to paper
Oozing it out
Into the multitudes
Wandering here and there
Using man-made technology
Trying to find ones to care
With an ability to act
Quicker than a blink
Exposing the illusions
To those who do think
Beyond the theories
In educational schools
Absorbing the revelations
From ones called fools

Crazy as a fox
Disguised like a tree
Moving in a forest
Laughing with glee
Visible as the wind
Seen in a breeze
So very serious
Loving to tease
Sowing new seeds
Both high and low
Fermentation comes slowly
This some may know
While living in a forest
Laughing with glee
Crazy like a fox
Disguised like a tree

With a whispering murmur
Gliding among bare trees
Winter branches welcome
Warmth of gentle breeze
Beckoning the daffodils
To rise from the ground
With a sea of yellow
Spreading beauty around
Past dark winter days
Filling many with delight
As Mother Nature prepares
A bed for Winter`s flight
Opening with her bounty
As she does each year
Mother Nature is announcing
Spring is finally here.

Hesitation
Posted by Maggie | 1 Comment
It was only a moment
A tiny little space
Yet, she saw hesitation
Visit his face
As they stood in the chapel
On their wedding day
It left her wondering
What would he say
When the preacher read their vows
Before binding them man and wife
Pledging love and devotion
For the rest of their life
A few seconds passed
The expression was gone
As he reached for her hand
With eyes for her alone
Letting her know completely
At this brand new life start
They were both ready for marriage
Vowing with a loving heart
