destino destiny
letting go
to destino destiny
i know you are out there
i can feel you
i just don’t know
how far
out there
is
or
is it that i have
to go through
Time
to another place
destino destiny
splishing splashing here
splishing splashing all over
just waiting for Joy
floating around space
waiting to hear from you
just wondering when
sea and more sea, see,
there must be something, see
looking i don’t see you
you must be really far, yes,
i think so
i guess, i’ll just keep
waiting
The burst of flavor of zaartar(thyme)
and freshly roasted sesame seeds
the tantalizing aroma of a whiff
of freshly ground and brewed coffee
the sound of vendors on the street
the shout of Good morning how are you
the wave hello of friends
no matter where you go
just a few things to miss
just a few things
to remember
and smile
Into the sea
slowly entering
a welcoming coolness
of moving jelly
now and again
a fish
sliding
across my
squirming leg
Can joys of
past
come to visit
present?
the simple joys
of past
where gone to?
come visit
please
present!
sweetly sailing
upon the ripples of life
blessed blissfully
Written in 2007 mostly about a Cyprus trip.
Cannot wait to travel,(then as now)
Thing is you see, lately I have been discovering how much of my life I have lived for others.
The first realization was last April when I went to visit my daughter with all “things” on her account. I was feeling light and upon reflecting I realized that for once I would be without responsibility and everything was being paid for me. To tell you the truth this was new to me.
Anyway, as we would say in the Caribbean, to cut a long story short, I was thrilled!
I went back home realizing that it is not such a bad thing to be pampered and began to look forward to a few more episodes, not necessarily from my daughter of course. Coming to think of it, having 6 kids could mean being pampered 6 times, smile.
OK time to get back to my Cyprus trip.
As I got up from my seat to disembark, walking down the aisle a bit, I wondered why one of my legs was shorter than the other. Looking down I realized I had left one of my shoe heels behind. I sighed, got it and put it in my bag. and tip toed all the way to the hotel studio apartment.
To be continued……….
Church and stately
Palm Tree
A sure sign of
God’s Presence
The people built their homes
Close, to be near to God
Now, if only the people
can be close to each other
A sure sign of
God’s Presence
Peace and joy
To use what
We have
To give thanks
For what we have
To enjoy
What we have
Money cannot buy
Peace and joy
Gratitude Can
The warm yellow gold glow
The heated reds and crimson
The sweet greens and dry browns
The soft gentle blues
Wash over my tired soul
All the colours
seem to say
Welcome to stay
my far away friend
Possibilities
of
India
Endless
To sail
Through life
With a friend
Along the way
Close even though sometimes far
Comforting
Soothing
All the way
