Sleep Writing

In sleep
My mind writes verse
I wish I could capture
Such beautiful poetic lines
Awake

Tonight I fell asleep before writing my poem to post. I kept dreaming of poems and writing some in my sleep. Yet, when I woke up I could not remember any of them. I wish I could have,  as in my dreams they seemed to be very good. Thus, the reason I wrote this poem.

Admonition

Keep your focus, keep your focus.
Though others may, you cannot.
Stay within your newly found locus.
Keep your focus, keep your focus.
Don’t listen to all their hocus.
Remember when tempted, the hard battle that you fought.
Keep your focus, keep your focus.
Though others may, you cannot.

August 25

My mom’s day of birth.
She is no longer here on earth.
Heaven celebrates
Her presence within its gates.
I remember her and give thanks.

In remembrance of my Mom who was born August 25, 1915 and passed into heaven October 10, 2001

Forget Me Not

Forget-Me-Not
Forget-Me-Not


Tiny little flowers

In white, pink and blue
How could anyone
Ever forget you?
For you surely are significant
Your beauty’s not obscure
In my garden you are welcomed
Even though you’re miniature
For size doesn’t designate
A flowers sense of worth
As often it’s the little things
That are most regarded on this earth
Therefore you need not worry
As you grow in my garden plots
For I will always remember you
My little  Forget-Me-Nots
