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.

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
There was a time
when
I would fall asleep
to the sweet lullabies
of
frogs and crickets
the songs of these creatures would
lull me into a dream state
and in the morning I would awake
to the beautiful melodies
of my
feathered friends
each morning I would stir
in my sleep and pull the covers
over my head
as my feathered friends were persistent and
aroused me from my dream state
much to early
now when I go to sleep
there are no sweet lullabies
of the frogs or the crickets
that beautiful sound has been replaced
by a freight train running through my
head
replaced by the terrible racket called tinnitus
that loves to cause ringing in my head
and is especially loud
when all the world is quiet
and in the morning
I now
awake to the sounds
of
swishing, ringing and banging
how I miss
the beautiful lullabies of the frogs and the crickets
and the beautiful melodies
of my
feathered friends

I thought this was beautiful. Double click below:
as I walk on this path called life,
many past events haunt me,
wanders in and out of my thoughts when I least expect it,
alters my actions at times in current situations,
brings me anger in times of confrontation,
question motives and actions,
gives me the ability to look directly in eyes,
and see for who they really are,
search for truth and goodness,
empathy and compassion,
silly, funny and loving,
for this is what I see in the ones I love,
family, friends and children,
slowly I walk away from the haunting,
and into the arms of the ones I love,
trusting, loving, spiritual and connected,
in Him I trust.
