Our Special Treasures
People, places, things of our life
Kept within our hearts
Are gems we can share with others
A rich legacy of love

Butterfly Cinquain

Posted on August 16, 2013August 16, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Butterfly!
Not a dragonfly.
Many are the colors
Upon the iridescent wing
In flight.
I attempt to capture the sight
My eyes happened to see.
With pictured words,
I write.

Waiting

Posted on August 15, 2013August 15, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Waiting.
Passing the time.
In a room full of numbers
Counting is a priority.
My turn.

My number.
As I stand up everyone looks
With envy in their eyes.
My wait is over.
Freedom.

TIME Acrostic

Posted on August 14, 2013August 14, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Taking it to smell the flowers
Infusing it with joy and opportunities
Making it count
Enjoying it every moment

Heart Cry

Posted on August 13, 2013August 14, 2013 by Leonas Lines

My mouth wants to speak
But not a sound will come forth
At a loss for words
My heart cries out in despair
The Creator hears and responds
