The Pebble

image by markuso at http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/

The pebble had a strange glow

She watched it for a while

Why only she saw it she didn't know

But it did make her smile

It was her special pebble

Seemed it was for her alone

While her friends played with beads and bauble

She played with her little stone

She washed it very carefully

And offered it fresh flowers

She sweetly sang some melodies

She lovingly gazed at it for hours

It's a matter of how you view

And what you perceive

A stone is just a stone for few

Or God if you so believe

Magic

The sunrise that heralds a new day

The wind that blows those cobwebs away

The birds that fly high and low

The flowers that blossom and trees that grow

The clouds that look like cotton wool

The thunderstorm, the rain so cool

The lightening that frightens some

A gloomy day that makes us glum

The butterfly, the moth, the bee

The rivers, and the sand and sea

The hills and mountains majestic and tall

The cliffs and tumbling waterfall

The multitude of animals that live in forests

The mirages and the shifting desserts

The wonders of Nature we take for granted

All of creation of which we are enchanted

Perhaps it's all illusion, the conjuring magic of our Creator

Yet man and his inventions often think that they are greater

Under God's Heaven

image source: google images

The tattered diary a prized possession

A life described during sad aggression

Senseless killing no one spared

Felt like no one even cared

Don't they know that war is futile

Destroying lives is sad and vile

I hope someday the light will shine

And peace and harmony will fall in line

When one community called humankind

Tolerance and love for each other will find

For our souls they weep in sad despair

And for us all they join in silent prayer

Imagine a world that's just like heaven

Where uplifting others is the only obsession

And kindness is a daily habit

And we feel the presence of the Holy Spirit

The tattered diary was a prized possession

Why don't we learn from it and end repression.

I chose the diary of Anne Frank as something that would've been quite ordinary but a prized possession to Anne. Her story touches our hearts and is the inspiration behind my poem. What went on in Anne's mind, did she wonder about a time under God's heaven when peace would be the way?

Dear Diary

Dear Diary

You know me well

You know my thoughts

And memories upon which I dwell

You travelled with me

Far and wide

Like a comforting friend

You're by my side

You shoulder my burdens

Help me shed my load

And when I feel timid

Your words make me bold

You share in my solitude

My snippets you enjoy

You laugh at my jokes

Shed tears when I cry

I enjoy my moments

In silence with you

You are my dear friend

Selfless and true.

Today's little entry

Is my gift to you

Thank you with love

Signed, Suzy Que

Lost and Found

image source: google images

Life you threw me all askew

In despair I travelled trudging on

Ignorant of  jewels yet to be born

Of experiences wonderful and new

I lost it all, those material things

I thought that I had lost my soul

Then Lord you held me, made me whole

And Your flute, it brought me joy and wings
