~* Field of Flowers *~ ( Blessings Bestowed )

 

 

 

 

In the mixing bowl,  spirituality brews
stirs important ingredients required
to sustain,  support this Temple
for Spirit and other blessings bestowed.

I wake with ability to accept
what some take for granted,  gratitude
expressed energetically from my Heart.

Another inhalation,  air circulates
which in the past,  proved difficult.

Liquid filled lungs close to brim
where my walk hindered
and stride suffered,  near Death
but Life proved powerful
as images of importance flashed.

 


Happiness became haven,  I smiled wide
for mission not complete,  Courage
on heels alongside hands,  calloused.

Deity showed determination,  faces
of everyone who wished me well.
All the Angels that embraced,
wings wrapped around.

 



Field of flowers,  I grow mentally
reaped and sown under Sun’s watch
and full Moon’s miracles
continuously with Language of Love,
single stems hand delivered
as a personal Thank You.

Medicine meant to heal,  animal Spirit’s
call in communication.
I listen,  empowered empathically
with words spoken,  present of Peace.

 



Appreciation painted in pictures,
poetic portraits on Earth’s canvas.
Indebted,  I humbly bow in grace
before the Gods and Goddesses.

Author notes

The images I have included bring forth
a smile on my face...
Adds a little more Light to the Rainbow...

I am truly Blessed...
Each day is a feast of Life
where I am not gluttonous...
but show Appreciation for Gifts
like air for example...
that flows through these lungs...

Happiness of the Mind, Body and Spirit
for I make it my choice...*smile*
Free Will~
Even with Congestive Heart Failure...
and arrhythmia...Limited on Time...
but I am elated...
Would not have it any other way...

Friends and Family~ by my side...
Thank You!

I Love to spread Love, am Loved
and in Love...
So what more could I ask for...

Thank You for the opportunity to share!

    this poem has moved me a lot ... for many reasons ... you seem to be a perfect mirror of my own spirit, soul and even body ... and each and every word you have expressed here so beautifully resonates with my own experience ... at one moment, I have almost believed that it was ME who has written this poem ... when you wrote : "Another inhalation, air circulates
    which in the past, proved difficult.
    Liquid filled lungs close to brim
    where my walk hindered
    and stride suffered, near Death"
    since you have written about my own health-challenge I am facing at the moment ... and since hardly anyone knows about it, I wondered if you could have read my mind ... well, synchronicity plays some interesting games with us sometimes ...
    I smiled about "mission not complete", since that was what I felt when I once almost suffocated during the night and I felt that I could leave my body right away or decide to stay ... I thought to myself : "if I leave, I must come back, for my mission's not complete ..."
    strange synchronicity that you have expressed this phrase in this poem ... I would love to talk with you about all this, once this contest is finished, if you don't mind ...
    in the meantime, I thank you from my heart for your uplifting poem ...

      Thank You for Your visit and there is much to say in response

      I am Honored that You see our association for we have been through so much in a short time...for me I see time as one that can continue on...without barriers unless I choose to make them...
      Harsh environments test our strength but a reason for each one of them...from what I have been told...
      Character built...continuing to be built...stand firm
      when the ground tries to shake our Temple down...
      Mission not complete...not time yet
      Must stand tall...and hold on tight

      I've been told...You can deliver a message
      of Love and Light
      but if the person does not choose to hear..
      they stand a chance of losing a blessing
      to save a Life


      Appreciate You and Your Gifts~
      of Love with Light

      so to uplift....when You are already lifted...
      is something that gives me great Pride~

      Many blessings to You
      Best wishes always
      and much love~ Desire~*~

    thank you for taking me along on this "spiritual journey" of gratitude. It is a beautiful presentation in words and pictures , and somehow through it I was aware of the "life breath" that I am afforded this very second. It is gratitude indeed, and I wish you the very best in this contest,
    much love

    Oh sweetie this is a masterpiece. So beautiful and just shows the heart of you. I wish I had the words to express the wonderfulness of you AND this write.
    Best of luck in the contest, but this write is already a winner.
