feeling the weight on my feet,
as I trail through the snow,
breathing in the cool, crisp air,
heightens my senses,
to life at that moment,
as I stroll through the trees,
touching their branches,
feeling exhilarated,
as the snow licks my face.
walking through the snow,
gives me reflection
on what path to take,
leading me in a direction,
meant for my embrace.

Vibrant pink berries,
amongst a sea of red and orange
foliage,
standing naked before the
crowd,
feeling the discrimination,
of the mass
majority,
and the weight of their
judgement,
as red and orange
foliage
entrench their insecurities and
inhibitions,
on vibrant pink
berries,
standing alone,
pink berries
are
more vibrant than
ever,
refusing to be
less,
to conform to the
needs of
the
mass majority.
Johanne Fraser
We come into this life alone
and
we go out of this life alone.
Stand tall and stay
true to yourself
during the process of
living and dying.

time at the lake
a timeless beauty
decades of wisdom
a diamond jubilee
secrets lie
beneath the ripples
in the water
hopes and dreams
trusted in the mountains
time at the lake
for future
generations

Friday night
bright lights
in honour of
our freedom
in a country
free to be
who you want
to be
watching bright lights
shoot into the sky
explosive delights
one after the other
when all was done
no building was falling
people with Canada flag
painted faces
followed a peaceful march
feeling safe for
at least another night
Johanne Fraser
I look for you every Spring,
to witness your inspiring beauty,
as you awaken my
senses with your seductive
fragrance,
filling me with renewal and
promise,
as I leave the comfort
and
solitude of winter,
and embrace your
gracious wings,
teaching me to live
for today,
because tomorrow your wings,
will shrivel
under the ungracious and
unpredictable Spring.

an exterior like armour
hard as a rock
protecting the delicate shell
that lies within
closed to the ones
who
can’t see beyond the shadows
of doubt
and the lies of the masses
leaving the armour
to
stop the shell from cracking
only to surface
to
the enlightened ones.

life can be like a fence,
walking the straight and narrow,
brings certainties,
never wavering from the
straight line ensures
your safety,
fearing the other side,
makes you crazy,
forever pondering life’s
uncertainties makes
you linger,
wavering from the straight and narrow,
facing reality through
all the uncertainty,
confronting your fears,
embracing your passions,
by stepping into
the other side.
Johanne Fraser
a winter’s day,
chills me to the bone,
watching my breath,
awakens my senses,
gives me clarity,
confirms that life
is about
the in-between,
the time we spend,
in-between work and
commitments,
is what gives us life,
and fulfills our purpose.
Johanne Fraser
wild and free
living each moment
like nothing else matters
free to run and just be
carefree days and endless nights
the way it should be…….
johanne fraser
embracing the early morning sky,
sensing the energy from the fullness
of the moon,
awaking from a deep sleep,
to the mesmerizing glow,
lifting me from the darkness,
giving me hope and promise,
seeing the aura of the trees,
absorbing their living energy,
feeling at one with the earth
and sky.

she felt his presence behind her as she walked through the darkness,
she struggled to keep her composure as she sensed he was near,
she was looking for a place to hide when she saw a group of trick-or-treaters,
and walked amongst their shadows to hide from the presence lurking behind her,
suddenly she found herself alone to face the dark figure,
breathing in his scent she recognized his presence,
causing her confusion as he hadn’t been an earthly being for several years,
suddenly time stood still as she looked into her lover’s eyes,
her body filled with panic as he snuggled into her neck,
she felt his warmth as he moved his lips from her neck to her lips,
passionately kissing her and caressing her body,
flooded with memories of his tenderness as she parted her lips,
feeling the familiar tingling running through her body,
closing her eyes memories of their lovemaking
possessed her mind, body and soul,
as time stood still for two distant lovers,
a mortal creature caught between the realms of earth
and the spiritual world,
suddenly she found herself alone
as if he never existed,
to walk down the street
back
into the shadows.

driving through the mountains,
I spotted this sea of lavender,
rolling through miles and miles of
dry grass and barren hills,
this sea of lavender,
filled me with inspiration,
breathing in his mighty works,
a gift from our creator,
filling me with his loving presence,
giving me strength,
to fulfill my destiny.
