Does turning the calendar to December fill you will mixed emotions? For some of us, winter will make her debut. This means our moods will be up n' down like the barometer. Many of us will celebrate holidays, near the month's end. I find this time of year comes with mixed feelings. I see people struggling, people with excess, and people who still see the magic in the ordinary, and believe in miracles. I am going to try to be more generous, pay it forward, and smile more. I think a generous spirit can live in our hearts, year round. My photo is called Soul's Whisper. I would love you to pen a poem, that represents a whisper from your soul.

Do not disdain portrayals of Love
ReplyDeletenor feign affection
but receive with open arms and heart
life's every emanation
For Love's they falter
and tend to fade away
and hearts they get scorned
and cry from day to day
do not fold within
like a flower sleeping
at the end of it's season
but always leave a little room
to start again
Poets United,
ReplyDeletePoems which reflect my present situation in many ways. Health and absence of words.......
