Mindy's Poems-N-Such: July 2011

A New Day...

A New Day...

I thought I'd try putting some of my poems here so that others had access to them. Forgive their imperfections, their creator is only human. I hope that you might find some small use for these poems, simple though they are.

If you like a poem or choose to use one for anything - please leave a comment - I'd like to hear from you.

(If I have modified a poem to better suit a person or situation, I will try to upload both the original and modified versions.)

(As I get time I'll try to add more - don't expect all of them at once...)

Soaring

Amidst the cobalt blue

Scattered drops of rainbow
Soar heavenward
Unimpeded
By gravity
No mortal shackles
To keep them
Earthbound
Carrying treasures
Precious messages
Beyond sight

Sowing...

It came to me
When I was young
That I would never be
   A great philosopher
   A healer of wounds
   A doer of mighty deeds
   A finder of hidden treasure
I am but a gardener
Simply a planter of seeds
A waterer of saplings
Encouraging tender shoots to burst forth
Eventually
Overshadowing the gardener
As branches stretch ever nearer
The great vast expanse
I am not forlorn
That the world
Knows not my name
I am content
That the seed sown
In the midst of the tumult
Has thrived and now
Sends forth seeds of its own
For me to plant
And nurture
And love
