The sights you see

The sights you see

The sights you see all around,
in the sky and on the ground.

The butterfly flies up to the skies,
right before your very eyes.

The big bullfrog croaks and hums,
sounds like a big, hollow drum.

The hoot owl hoots up in the tree,
sees as far as his eyes can see.

The sights you see all around,
in the sky and on the ground.

The firefly flickers off and on,
leads you hither, leads you yon.

The cricket chirps her cheerful tune,
beneath the shining, summer moon.

The bunny hops and never stops,
until he finds some clover tops.

The sights you see all around,
in the sky and on the ground.

The sparrow flits here and there,
chirping loud and chirping clear.

The groundhog waddles like a duck,
thought the mud and through the muck.

The dragonfly's wings flap fast and furious,
I love to watch him. I'm so curious.

The sights you see all around,
in the sky and on the ground.

and love

and love and love happens like lightning striking in a moment, in a day, in a glance. and love changes like dawn breaks, imperceptibly from dark to light. and love surrounds like morning mist, rising from nowhere until it envelopes. and love grows from pain to hunger gnawing from the belly and the mind. and love is desperate like addiction overriding every other appetite. and love creates a world like a dream where days are lived in slow motion. and love empowers like confident faith emboldening to overcome obstacles. and love lasts like the ocean waves' ebbs and flows, forever. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image: By elayne001 via pixabay

Winter's Way

Winter's Way Snow swirls and settles softly, down. Frozen ponds and pine trees are painted white. Winter wind whirls, swirls and twirls in circles, up and down, in and out. Drifting snow piles high here and there. Snow birds flitter, flutter and forage, then, hurry to their roosts to nestle. Bright moon shines and the ice reflects it's beams between snowflakes and flurries. December's icy blanket covers field and hills. Blustery nights turn into biting cold days. Frosted roads crunch beneath sleighs led by huffing, puffing mares. Mufflers, mittens or gloves cover frigid hands. Earmuffs, overcoats, and scarves stave off shivers. Snowbound sledders find space to steer down slippery slopes. Firewood crackles in the fireplace. Snuggled beneath fleece throws, we counter polar storms and ice-kissed frigid gales. Jack Frost's season overwhelms and overblows with solstice ice-flowers. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Lon...
