TEA FOR TWO

Banana Brain – Die Antwoord

Tea for two.

One for me.

One for you.

Mine is sweet.

Yours is not.

Some good sleep

from this old pot.

PERSEVERANCE

PERSEVERANCE

We suffer illnesses and deaths.

We fight to survive.

Why?

Why does a flower bloom

during an early frost?

Hope.

Hope for warmer days ahead.

We hope for better times.

Hope keeps us alive and warm.

IT’S THE SEASON

IT’S THE SEASON

The petals fall fast and furious.

The bare trees watch the fallen.

Limbs shivering in the coming cold.

Pink tears of surrender coat the ground.

As seasons come and go.

Yearning for their lost children.

They lift scraggly arms to the sky.

Prayers will soon be answered,

As seasons come and go.

Coats of white land on their branches.

Night falling all too soon.

Shivers dislodge the packed ice.

Leaving them bare once again.

They lift weary eyes to the sky.

As seasons come and go.

A warm wind caresses their arms.

Eyes open to sprouting buds.

Green and pink sweaters for spring.

Their children have returned.

As seasons come and go.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL

What can be better

than sitting on a bench

in the warm weather, 

watching people, and

daydreaming?

Nothing.

opticallyaroused:

Warm weather,

soft winds,

pretty blooms,

are all part of the

best time of year.

Welcome to spring.

THE DICTATES OF OLD MAN WINTER

flowersgardenlove:

The epic battle of the seasons.

Old Man Winter 

erase all signs of Fall.

He covers the ground 

with his icy cold snow.

But Fall holds her leaves close

to her body and her heart.

Some have fallen,

lone casualties of war.

The battle rages

on the ground,

in the air,

and on the water.

Fall will have to succumb

to the dictates of Old Man Winter.

She has no choice.

She puts up a valiant battle.

She will be back after Summer

finishes heating the earth.

Farewell.

We’ll see you soon.

HOPES AND DREAMS

HOPES AND DREAMS

Look up at the sky.

Hope for better things.

Pray for your family.

Wish for happiness.

Your hopes and dreams 

will lead you in the right direction.

COLORS

A vibrant mix of colors

Can lift your spirits.

Energized for the holiday season.

And remember spring is not that far away.

A SNOWY DAY

Paradise is within our grasp.
Within our environment.
Within our homes.
We just have to stop,
watch, and listen.
It could be as simple
as a snowy day.
Or as complex as
a large family.
Enjoy the happy season.
Have fun in the snow.
Appreciate your family.
Paradise is within our grasp.

A WINTER WONDERLAND

The gate is open.
I’m going inside.
I wonder who owns this property.
Is it some computer wizard
or maybe a movie star?
For now, it’s mine.
It is quiet and deserted.
No footsteps in the snow,
besides mine.
The trees extend far into the distance.
All I can see is white and more white.
A winter wonderland
created just for me.
I hear a rumbling sound
coming from beneath me.
It’s not beneath me
but next to me.
Two Doberman Pinschers
are growling up at me.
"Zeus, Apollo?"
More growling.
Time to run.
For my life.

SHOULD I?

Should I?
Or shouldn’t I?
Too many decisions
for a bear.
The weather is turning colder.
Snow is beginning to fall.
Humans are retreating
to their warm homes.
I guess it’s time for me.
Goodbye world.
Goodbye snow.
Time for a long nap.
See you in the spring.

What can be better than sitting on a bench
in the warm weather, watching people, and
daydreaming?
Nothing,
unless you live those dreams.

martingogo:

This makes me ready for spring.
The beautiful lilac color.
The soft motion of the falling petals.
Yes, I’m very ready.

SERENE

So calm and peaceful.
But look at the post below.

FUN!

powwell:

WHAT FUN!

LIFE CAN BE CRAZY

LIFE COULD BE CRAZY
At times, life moves so fast around us that we almost feel like we’re standing still. It’s hard to keep up. Especially around the holidays.
We must maintain our calm, no matter who pushes us or honks at us.
Let the traffic flow around us and keep our inner peace intact.

SNOW

THE FIRST SNOW
How does this picture make you feel? Peaceful, serene, eager for the first snowfall? I feel all the above. For a day, the city streets look clean. Without the backlash of society, this scene could remain pure and untouched for days, weeks, or even months. Bring it on!

WHAT SHOULD WE BE THANKFUL FOR?

WHAT SHOULD WE BE THANKFUL FOR THIS HOLIDAY SEASON?
We should be thankful for the trees shedding their leaves, covering the earth with a blanket of colors. The beautiful sky at night shining bright.  The snow casting a white glow on everything. But definitely not the traffic  jams.
