The Book-Lover!

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Books, Poetry

Sitting under a tree
Engrossed in a book
The world passes by
No need to look

Within your world
You are at peace
Happy as can be
It’s your release

Alone with a book
Is such sweet pleasure
As you uncover all
Its Earthly treasure

Sometimes fiction
Sometimes reference
You need to choose
It’s your very own preference

With each page
Your mind is fed
Your life enhanced
And your Heart is led

Turning each page
Leads you to uncover
The very thing
That makes you a book-lover!

And I Know That I Will

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

I sit and I watch the day unfolding
Shadows creep in, shadows creep out
The Sun dances across the sky
Partnering with clouds as we watch the day go by

As I sit and I wonder
What the day will bring
With each passing hour
No more than a shower

The day goes on
The light changes hourly
I sit and watch the day unfold
A promise of more I surely am told

I dream and I dream
I watch and I listen
The day speaks to me
And I listen intently

The message is clear
How could I have not seen it?
It was there all along
Was my mind distracted?

I begin to understand
And try not to question
What life was telling me
Again and again

All along it has been saying
What I should do
Had I have not been listening
I would’ve missed it today too

The Sun it goes down
Beyond the hill
The path is clear
And I know that I will

This is the first poem I had ever written & was originally published on my ‘Observations & Other Writings’ blog in August 2013.
