On My Way To You...

I walked the Coastal Path
every day
looking for you.
Scraped by the heather and brambles
stung by the nettles
drenched by low flying clouds
scorched by the sun
and overwhelmed by the wonder
of being on the edge
where the land kisses the sea.
I shouted out to the sea
"hello my love, can you see me?"
"come hold my hand, forever starts today!"
shouting to the sky,
allowing the waves and wind
to talk my love and wonder
and show you the way home.....to my heart
Still I walk my path...
Still I stop to enjoy the wonders
as I walk my way to you....

my slipper in my bag :~)
my heart open....and looking for you.

Here We Go LexieLoo

"here we go lexie loo"
a song I sang to her
as she danced down the streets
like she had ants in her pants
after she was groomed.
she rubbed herself
into my heart
11 years ago,
she's 14 1/2 now.
I've known her since she came
from PJ's pet store
and even as a puppy she
pushed her way into the world
nosey and yappy
the queen of all the world
when her previous owner was hospitalized
she became my little girl
handfed for months
as her world changed
and mine did too.
I'd always had big dogs, great big galouts, not little things that wanted your lap.
Senitive she was to so much at first
Then she became the Queen
just took over, if you know what I mean :)
she has a bark that can break your mind

so forever she gets her own way.
For 11 years she has been at my hip
24/7 it's been an awesome trip
pushy and demanding
but sweet as can be
everyone who meets her wants to take her away
I always joke 'go ahead'
in under 2 seconds she back at my side
the fuss she'd make if I left her for a moment
it was easier to just take her with me !
which is why she got specail treatment .

Unique and wonderful this wonderful dog
is now full of tumours in liver and lungs
the drugs make her unable to move
so with dignity and grace
and tears upon my face
I say goodbye to the sweet little dog

I came for you

When I was a tree


I stood and listened to the breeze

as love walked by me

when love sat under my branches

it's wonderful vibration

absorbed into my roots

traveled up my truck

and was entangled

in my leaves

and when the wind blew

through the world
the love would flow

on the breeze



Now no longer am I a tree

I've come to hold the hand of love

to love

to dance

to sing to the wind

to hold the hand of love

and take that chance

A Hand

I offered you my hand
unafraid to take a stand
aware that there is more
than the eyes can see
open and accepting
I offered it to you
allowing and unfolding
this wonder that came through
smiling in the sunshine
of this wonderful new day
knowing that if i close my eyes
I feel your hand hold mine

Accepting Love

Letting go of the complications


that I can not change.

Holding on to the love

that is changing me.

Remembering that love

has no watch.

Giving back,

all that I have to give.

Allowing the flowing

and the glowing that you cause.

Knowing that to our souls

time does not exist

Walking in the sunshine

of your whispers to my heart.

Drifting in the moonlight

that relects upon the sea.

Letting life unfold

without trying to pry it open,

and accepting the love you shine at me.

The Call

When I was a tree, I stood in the wind and listened to thoughts brought past on the breeze, and now that I am not a tree, I stand in the breeze and listen to thoughts blown in the wind.
Sunday I was out and about, running errands, when at the last minute something told me to go to Valu Village, a local thrift store that I like. Whenever I get the twinge to go there I always find something I'd been looking for, occasionally not. So when I got the twinge on Sunday, I went. Wandering up and down the isles just looking I never expected what I did see, my friend Mary. Mary works with my cousin who isn't my cousin, that's a whole other story, but never the less, Mary and my cousin work in a school for handicap ed kids. They both have hearts as big as the sky and have dedicated their lives to these kids, the way I am dedicated to the animals. Well my cousin and I have both lost our mothers and now Mary is about to loose hers. Mary is the sweetest kindest person I have ever met, she is my age, approaching 50, lived at home her whole life with her mom, and her world is about to change radically. I only see Mary when my cousin brings her around, and I haven't seen her since last fall. This past weekend my cousin's niece got married and Mary was suppose to go to the wedding, but when I ran into her she said she just wasn't up to the celebration while her mom is dying, I hugged her tightly and told her how much I understood. She also said she comes to Valu Village to just get away from things. We chatted about Bon Jovi, she loves him, and when I told her I was writing Haiku to him and that he was following me her face lite up the place, we walked the isles, we giggled and laughed. I offered her a ride home, but she said she was going to just wander some more, we hugged again, and went on our way.
I have lived in this neighbourhood for 8 years, and visited this store a million time and not run into Mary, but today when she was feeling lost and alone I did.... why?? what did I hear?? who gave me the little push to go in the first place? I didn't need 3 more tops! I didn't need anything... but someone else did... Mary needed a friend to hug her, to laugh with, I heard her call in the wind of the trees, maybe not in words... but the thought found me and guided me there to help lighten her day.

How many times has this happened? to me many times but to you ??
we don't stop to hear the whispers enough
open yourself

Random Thoughts Today

THOUGHTS

I walk through this world, exploring and awakening to things..and sometimes things just fall out of my mind and take form on paper...
random thoughts this winter
they do not run together...they are just thoughts...little poems? maybe






LIFE IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT MUST BE LIVED AND SHARED...
NOT JUST AN OBSERVATION.
LIFE-WATER
FLOWING-CHANGING
EITHER GO WITH IT AND ENJOY THE RIDE
OR SIT ON THE SIDE AND NEVER EXPERIENCE THE THRILL
BE BOLD
BE DARING
BE TRUE TO YOUR HEART
AND BE NOT AFRAID TO REACH OUT


I ONCE WALKED AROUND IN CIRCLES,
ALWAYS LOOKING UP INTO THE BLUE SKY
THE VIEW CHANGES, DAY TO DAY
BUT YOU CAN NEVER REALLY KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE!
AS I WAS WATCHING THE CLOUDS ONE DAY
I FELT ELECTRIFIED
AND I DID NOT KNOW WHY
I LOOKED DOWN AND THERE YOU WERE
WAS IT YOUR AURA?
YOUR ESSENCE?
A VIBRATION OR ENERGY WAVE?
THAT SET MY OFF ALONG THIS PATH




WET, COLD LIQUID
FALLS FROM THE SKY
IT TOUCHES THE EARTH
LEAVING EVERYTHING GLISTENING
BRIGHT WARM LIGHT
SHINES BETWEEN THE CLOUDS
REFLECTING IN THE PUDDLES
MAKING THE WORLD SPARKLE
YOUR ENERGY HAS RAINED ON ME
I SPARKLE AND SHINE
THROUGH MY DAY TO DAY WORLD
BECAUSE YOU ARE YOU



words that fall from thought to form
leave my mind and find their way to paper
here, there and everywhere
like the rain they must fall
like the sun they must shine
and like the moon they pull me
here, there and everywhere
to shine like pieces of rainbows
and reflect the love of life



ACROSS THE WAVES THOUGHTS TRAVEL
ALL THOUGHTS, GOOD AND BAD
AND THEY AFFECT THINGS
ALONG THE WAY
IF YOU COULD SEE THE DAMAGE
EVERY NEGATIVE THOUGHT DID
WOULD YOU STOP?
AND SEEING THE JOY THAT POSITIVE
THOUGHTS LEAVE ON YOUR SOUL
COULD YOU KEEP IT UP? CHOICES....CHOICES....LIFE IS FULL OF THEM
WHY DO WE CHOOSE THESE PATHS?
WHAT DO WE HOPE TO LEARN?
CAN WE TRULY HELP EACH OTHER, EVEN THOSE WE DO NOT KNOW YET?
FOLLOW A PATH THAT HAS HEART
A JOYOUS PATH
FILL IT WITH LIGHT
AND LOVE AND MOST IMPORTANT
LAUGHTER TO MAKE IT THROUGH



THE MOON WILL ALWAYS SHINE
EVEN IN DARKNESS IT IS THERE
IT'S POWER PULLING AND PUSHING
EBBING AND FLOWING
WE ARE ALL ONE, SOME JUST A LITTLE MORE FRACTURED
THEN OTHERS
SOME SO COMPLETELY LOST THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO DO THIS PATH AGAIN AND AGAIN TO UNDERSTAND
SOME UNDERSTAND WAY TO FAST
LIVE LIFE
LEARN LOVE
GIVE SHARE
BELIEVE RECEIVE
DREAMS GIVE US WINGS
ENERGY IS WHAT WE ARE
WHAT WE HAVE
AND WHAT WE SHARE




PIECES OF RAINBOWS
FALLING FROM THE SKY
TOUCHED MY HEART
AND WOUNDED MY EYE
I CRIED A TEAR
OF COLOUR AND WONDER
AND NOW I PONDER ON THEE
COLOURS, RAINBOWS, ENERGY
AND THEE
OF YES AND A CUP OF TEA




morning sun shines brightly
reflecting off the frost covering my window
and scatters pieces of rainbows
across my eyes

#FF following and follower in the waves

From my heart to yours
I need you to know
just how much
you mean to me
each and every day
I walk though my day
connected to so many
in the healing that I do
for cats and dogs and their human kin
so is was so easy
to slip you all
into my pocket right from the start

I came looking for something
and for that I still search

but

daily you remind me
how wonderful life really is
open to the magic
swirling in the air
grabbing hold it's tether
and swinging in the flow
the wonder that you bring
rests in my open hands
and pulls such amazing things from me
the things we share in here
blows me away each and every day

each of you is different in what you offer me
each of you is wonderful in how it is we share
our inspiration our joy our laughter
our sorrow and support along the way

There is no anger left in me
I felt it's sting to long
I sent it packing and converted it's room
Sadness and 'meloncollie' sometimes come to tea
I let them tell their stories
and send them off with a hug
for they too can not stay
I will not barr the door
but I will not hold them in my heart


so thank you for all you offer me
thank you for your friendship
thank you for your love
thank you for being you and sharing with me too :)

Energy

the world of energy
just so you know
just flows and flows
this way that way
up and down
in and out
and straight on through

standing still
listening to them
walking
through them
swimming in these waves
has completely
affected me

creativity flows there
magic is created there
Life is forged there
we each have waves
big and bright
and each thought
that leaves from you
effects the sea

walk down the street and see
what affect your thoughts can have
on people all around

if you wave your anger
even just inside yourself
it seeths and squishes out

walk with laughter and with joy
and it just can't help
spilling about

I was pulled here today
something I needed to say
I hope it got on you :)
Sparkle Magnet Power Forever

Life is Lovely
