NEGATIVISM- THOUGHTLESS WORDS THAT HURT OR LACK POSITIVITY

I do not know if you realize how common this is.  You do not even have to look far, as it is present even from family members, generally in not an overt form but a covert form.  Nevertheless, like a poisonous snake, it strikes, and drains away the faith from an enthusiastic person.

LIKE A JOYOUS FEMALE- SPRING ARRIVES

In a bluster the wind blows, the dog walks

The bridge in the park has no snow on it

The stream is still, the water stagnant

but even the water knows

warmer days are ahead

Something in your heart stirs

and says, awake, open up and go, go, go to your destiny

whatever it may be.

**********************************************************************************

The door gently opens, and like a joyous woman

spring comes in with a stealth and silence

directly into your heart with warmth aglo

you walk in the park with a bounce on your feet

The dog on the leash, goes sniff sniff sniff

The park is in silence

Waters in the stream, stagnant, cold with abhorrent colors

but even the waters know

they will move as the door opens wider

letting in more warmth

When the birds will sing,sqirrels will complain, babes will come out with the parents

picnics, barbeque,and all lazily play as mom's food hits the nostrils

Not realizing it is all in a welcome of springs ambrace.

Embrace of love, friendship, family, with not a care in world

And all is at peace.

**********************************************************************************

I wondered through the park, with my companion on her leash

Not a sound in the air

Not a bird was singing

Not an owl was screeching

Not a sqirrel was chirping

All was deadly quiet.

The stream was clogged with dirty frozen water

Not a soul on the bridge

The path appeared lonely

But through the trees was the gentle whistling of the wind

Peeping between the trunks were the rays of the sun

An occasional bud in the ground, greeting the warm and welcome sun

And in a few days, but with a roar, the ground shakes

The skies are bright and the day is warm

The farmer awakes and starts the day with his toil

Open mouths are everywhere

Open eyes are everywhere

Open ears are everywhere

for they hear, they eat, they see, they breathe and so live in glory

but once again, we close our eyes, and pray to thank the almighty and raise our hands in supplication

for the promise of the glorious ensuing days.

Spring is here with the promise of a summer as the days go bye

For the Almighty never fails, fulfilling his promise that he gave to his children so long ago.
