Traveler's Ode

Once just a lonely traveler...
Eighteen wheels on a long winding road
His burdens buried in the work of the day...
He carries them silently that load
The roads may vary the scenery fleet...
Twist and turns hills arise where the sun meets
The sounds of the tires ever in his mind...
The wind may carry the cries
Heed the warning hear them fly...
Follow with heart willfully mile after mile
Maybe just for a moment...
His mind rests briefly this time
Travel weary thoughts a stinging his eyes...
The thought of the end of the run sublime.

For Darkness and Light

By moonlight she sat, thinking of his words...
They filled her with promise of better wisdom, better dreams ahead,
The darkness enveloped her, and brought her great peace...
For a calmness surrounded her, like dreams in her head
His voice on wind did carry, filled her with future and hope...
A knight in search of a rescue, gave her faith to believe
When she needed it most, the courage to bare, the humor to cope.

The moon is glowing bright as the stars she seeks above,
An omen of goodness to carry her through, darkness her companion...
The star light shining upon the path she must choose, for loss or love
Fighting the haunt of painful past, she sees only a memory at last...
Ahead the steps, full of curiousity, protection, the truth from the knight,
As the tale was told she woke from her slumber, found part of her past...
Too long forgotten the innocent heart, left along a stormy path.

Behold in this moonlight, the powers to to see the adventures forseen
Traveling forward by darkness, she climbs, path twisting at times,
She looks towards the future as the path begins to wind, her senses keen...
The knight her protector, the gallant unseen
His wisdom protects her, looks over her plight stands by to enter...
In the event she stumbles, her pain in his heart he would share
The strength she lost, he helped her regain...
The knight gave the vision that she could again hope more than dared.

The Lady of the Night

Say what she must,a lady of daring and steel will,
As she does battle in the fight for No Kill...
Her challenge to all is to promote spay/neuter,
With a dash of humor and grin,she says neuter is cuter...
One must admire her reserves of endless determination,
Keeping the litters off the street it takes planning & "Katstration"...
With heart a mile wide,all too clear a goal set in her mind,
No rest for the "Neuteress of the Night" the conquering kind...
Until the point gets across from this lady fondly called "Kat",
Her sword,a machete she wields this way n that...
In the battle for the unwanted litters plaguing the lands,
We must all do our part hearts joining hands...
It takes more than one to win the fight,
Be an angel, lend a hand in conquering the plight.

The Navigator

Always wandering the mind beseachingly yearns
Eye the trails slowly at each bend and turn...
Looking for the signs that may have passed us by
Instincts take over when confusion does try...
Life is too short...the path sometimes wrong
Keep on going even when it's tough and too long...
There are things in life worth every fight
Navigate the storms till you reach the light...
In the end you'll eventually win the prize
Keep your mind open happiness will realize...
It's the slow hard won battles that pay off in the end
Believe in your dreams they're just around a bend...
Often disguised in such a mysterious way
Makes them even sweeter you'll be inclined to say.

The Wolf

One lone wolf stands watch...
As the moon vanishes into twilight
Silently he searches the wind...
His coat gleams silver this frosty night
Steely eyes that know no sleep...
Forever prowling he remains alert
Woods his domain the watch he keeps...
Creature of shadows as sunset falls
Listen in those wee hours of night...
The night songs his howling calls
He the guardian of this rugged terrain...
Weather wicked as snow reaches ground
Freely moving he knows no boundaries...
Muscles tense he moves without sound.

Journey

Each from another town another place
Two paths crossing a chance surely fate...
Something different seen in his face
Wondering then on just what to do...
Time was short that much is clear
Reluctantly choosing I had to go...
Not knowing fate 'til it followed me here
Life often changes one things for sure...
Never knowing just what comes next
We all have a history a broken past...
There is no guide or written text
Intuitions sometimes are best...
When asked why just a feeling he said
The wiseman so full of knowledge...
Before it was fear now peace instead
Restless and lost is how it began...
One thing I knew from the very start
Where this journey ends doesn't matter...
I'll follow the traveler who captured my heart.

Sweet Lorena

Life is hard enough at times
Without losing the ones we love so much...
Keep fast in a locket of memories
Gramma's smile, laughs, and her touch...
So keep in mind as time wears on
Some things in life are not to boast...
Memories you have deep in your heart
The love you've given matters the most...
You'll smile each time you think of her
Each new dawn reminds you of wonderful things...
Pain lifting with each sweet recall
The thoughts of Lorena a smile shall bring...
She'll never leave she'll be close by
A sweet caring woman never to forget...
It's been strange without you Gramma
The years have been many still I'm learning yet...
Each moment was so heart warming
Always I knew you cared so very much...
Those quiet times by the radio at night
Miss you terribly so your sayings and such...
The lessons you taught to share and love
Beauty is as Beauty does you'd say...
The visits and places can never be erased
For that love shall never fade away...
That's what true love is all about
It smiles down on you each & everyday...
Love so sweet it makes you cry
As so slowly a tear begins to glisten...
Reaches you with forever love
When lonely, Gramma will forever be there to listen.

A Sight to Behold

Ever so slowly the dawn comes to light...
It seems to travel forever replacing the night
The heartbeat does quicken, excitement so near...
A breath taking sunrise, so beautiful and clear
Eyes brighten with wonder at nature so vast...
The lone horse in the pasture, a creek runs fast
He lifts his head slowly, turning my way...
A sweet gentle nicker as he canters in play
His head carried proudly, tail held high...
So fleet so noble he runs beneath the sky
Such a thing of beauty it is to be shared...
A sight to be given to a friend that cared
The river it calls me come day or night...
Through midnight or dawn's light
The sunrise sparkles on water that plays...
A moment to cherish till the end of my days
Such tranquility the quiet behold...
To see such a sight is worth more than gold.

Twilight Dreams

Night skies of color such shades of blue...
Stars dancing on the horizon sparkling true
Soft flowing breezes caressing the land...
Brushing back twisting locks my hair with my hand
Contently gazing out over a shimmering lake...
Undaunted by civilization or anyone's stake
A small band of wild horses grazing beneath the sky...
Mists rising in the meadow where the grasses are high
In this quiet place I visit it enlightens me...
Undisturbed contemplating twilight's dreams.

Enchanting

Every once in awhile you meet someone new
Enchanting they are, almost too good to be true...
That brings a brightness into your heart
Who listens as much as they give in part...
Through sorrows, happiness and dreams
Pushing you on cheering when weariness seems...
Out of the blue they come into your life
Like a treasure, never forgotten in strife...
Enchanting, hold them dearly in your heart
For without them it would be such a very sad part.
