We all find ways to soothe the bombardment of life as it seems to run over us at times. For me, I write it all down. Some of it makes sense, some never does but writing combined with my love of nature and dogs helps me continue to go forward.
I am currently working on book 2 of Smiles from Heaven, independently published with Kindle of Amazon. It is a compilation of short stories and poetry that I hope help brings smiles to the reader. I now the stories helped me as I wrote them, sometimes laughing at my own thoughts sometimes crying at the reality of the hurt. I thought I would periodically publish one here to see what those who read my blog think. I do not profess to fully understand poetry, I am just writing my thoughts hoping to relate to others. Hope you enjoy.
Peace in Wildlife
The water from the fall mixed with her tears
Rolling down her face, joining her fears
The niche in the rock behind the fall
Made a hiding place behind a water wall
Coming here often to process and think
Analyzing her life when it would stink
The noise of the fall soothed her pain
Blocking out voices calling her name
By the fall’s edge, where the water is calm
Flowers grow wild as a soothing balm
Reminding us through difficulties in life
Peace and joy can be found in wildlife.

I sincerely hope you can find away to find that peace you need to survive this world and may you always remember some of it can be found in being kind. Kindness has a way of turning negatives into positives.
