TICKLED PINK
Created in honor of Pinktoes’ “Pink-Themed Song Contest”
I found a Pink Love Potion.
I bravely took a drink.
I never had the notion
It would turn my blonde hair
Pink!
I tried another sip —
Aye brave I be, not wise.
Can ye guess what happened next? Continue reading

The Moon is distant from the Sea – (387)
By Emily Dickinson
The Moon is distant from the Sea –
And yet, with Amber Hands –
She leads Him – docile as a Boy –
Along appointed Sands –
He never misses a Degree –
Obedient to Her eye –
He comes just so far – toward the Town –
Just so far – goes away –
Oh, Signor, Thine, the Amber Hand –
And mine – the distant Sea –
Obedient to the least command
Thine eye impose on me –

Hope
Sometimes when life knocks us down, hope is the only thing we feel we have to hold onto. We hope for healing in mind, body and spirit. Hope for a better day, today. Hope for a better day, tomorrow. Hope we see things with fresh eyes when our vision has become narrow. Hope for understanding. Hope that our goals will be achieved. Hope lifts us up. Hope gives us strength to carry on and the trust that all will work out for the best. We set our sights on those hopes and work towards them with a willing heart and an open mind. Each of us has hopes for our personal lives and for the lives of those we love and cherish. Hope is powerful and we need to hold onto it with all our being. Please feel free to share, if you are so inspired.

I loved this quote today and read a little about Theodore Roethke. He was a poet who lived in the 20th Century. Some of his poems were for children. I searched but didn’t find the poem that contains this line. So, I decided to write my own.
The idea of flowers keeping light inside their roots captured my imagination. I think that we humans keep the light in our “roots” in our own way, too. We keep the light in our memories. We share the light through our creativity.
To keep the light as flowers do
Deep in their roots to save ’til night
Then, in the garden before dawn,
Release it into fairy light;
To blend it gently with the dew,
To catch the first rays of the sun
That warm each blade of grass, each leaf
‘Til every drop of light is gone;
To watch it rise, a shimmering,
The new sun’s rays now amplify,
Then almost imperceptibly,
Release it to the waiting sky.
My light holds memories of you;
In outstretched hands, my heart’s bijou.
Niki Flow
