Thursday Doors -Sounds of Silence 3
Even closed and silent
a door will tell a story
like people
they are all unique
we need only
stop and listen

worn weary browns, with shades of
faded mustard and golden rod
wait for the warmth of spring
to revitalize and invigorate
for now
the landscape, waits.

PL Precept #16 All things Progress and Develop
taken old Hwy 17 towards Montreal
Jessup’s Falls conservation area
drawn like a moth to a flame
your silence called out to me
I knew, I needed a closer look
unlike in the books
my heart didn’t race
in fact, of emotion there was little trace
just the desire to get closer
my steps were sure as if
as if, somehow I knew
we had met before
the years had aged you
your tenants not always kind
there was not a blind
to hide your scarred and broken
parts inside.
you did your best,
you really did
sometimes, it really doesn’t matter
for life moves on
and you are left
not bare, but silent
the memories of what was
still visible on your face
you’ve left the door open
for what will be, will be
you’ve come this far
at night under the stars
you’ll sleep the gentle sleep
of one who has loved
knowing, love will always be
the sound of silence
is a living memory
love is never lost
love IS

PL Precept # 11 Always be with God
a glove got lost
that glove was found
and left to wait
should it be returned to its mate
some other day
meanwhile there it sits
out of harms way
a solitary reminder
that in some cases
it’s not that we don’t care
that we are no longer there
but life got in the way
too busy with other things
we missed realizing
that a part of us
fell away
& got left behind
this happens
when we are not
in tune with our mind
and
caught by surprise
when we find
that
one of two
is gone
leaving only
one
incomplete
For to be a perfect ONE ( pair)
it takes
2 to be 1
Yesterday was a day of sun and cloud, being a work day, this boat launch area was quiet, in the summer months when we dive by, it would be difficult to even find a place to park. We stopped here to let the dogs have some outdoor fun.
This was the colour of the day, yes sunshine is nice, but I love the rather subdued and subtle shades of an over cast day, if every day was sunny, we wouldn’t get to see the full palette of Mother’s Nature’s diverse and endless inventory of wonders.
Here is another Found? or Lost? for you….
While visiting a Tim Hortons (on the American side of the border, I came across the above dime and penny, laid out just as you see them … I didn’t touch them.. I looked and found it interesting that someone would just leave them on the vanity, especially sitting there so neatly. Were they in hand, and just laid down while hands were being washed… Maybe a child had them, and left them when they were being tended to by a parent.. I didn’t know… but I wasn’t going to disturb them, so, I took a picture.
Life is interesting, fun and intriguing, how we accept our daily challenges and adventures is up to us.. Accepting, enjoying and letting go of moments.. is a life long challenge, sometimes it is easy sometimes it is not…. knowing that whatever it is, it is OUR life. Yours and mine… I’m just so happy knowing that you are part of my world, In loving, sharing, caring, the exchange of ideas, thoughts,sights and sounds,.. WOW… what gifts.
