A Sky of Possibilities

Heaven knows how people grow when sunsets glow in shades of gold and tangerine...

When I was young, flowers spoke to me... 

The wind sang through leaves of tender dreams... 

As life unfolds and a new world opens up like 

sweet Peonies with breathless moments... 

I see a Sky of possibilities where contrails become 

shootings stars that fill my heart and mind 

with waterfalls of pure emotion...

'The wind sang through leaves of tender dreams... '

These words are so beautiful, Pat. It's as if you've seen what I've seen, spoken on my behalf and then, as a gift, left me with a trembing heart and a broad smile. There's more to a garden than colour, there's that magical touch of nature taking its time, of lingering, of feeding the emotions.. of making memories. Thank you so very much.

dear Em... it is true that we can embrace the kindness of a flower who seems to understand that we need the velvet feeling of their petals to know we did our best even tho it was not easy... and we only need to share with a flower that is embedded in God's earth and put our worries away for another day. Thank you for your gracious review. Nature does speak to us in mysterious ways. truly, Pat

I recently embraced a deep purple bearded Iris... it whispered much needed wisdom... that God in his infinite mercy would provide solace when storm clouds frighten the Universe if we only believe. truly, Pat

[emmajoy]

We all need to listen to what our surroundings whisper: at times, the shouting of humankind isn't as kind as it should be! Enjoy your day! x.

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Em... you are a Gladioli of blossoms whispering encouraging lullabies of peace and goodwill. truly, Pat x

Smiling into my morning and yours!

Beautiful and I see the sky which I so loved to watch as the sun began to set ranging from one colour of rainbow to the other as it changed across the sky as it set ...heavenly bliss and a picture I will paint one day..Thankyou for sharing 🌹

What a wild joyous celebration of life and poetry, the sky of possibilities is infinite in it's nimbus cloud mind

[Vin]

wow!! The title attracted me and content made me read again!

[Shandra Sun]

That's how I feel at this season in my life. I'm so thankful for people who can express themselves like you do. What a beautiful song to the connection with Mother Nature and her wonders. Me too, I love the wispering of the wind caressing the leaves. They tell me sweet stories that smooths my soul. Thank you for this jewel.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Shandra... your review is breathless and leaves me with the emotions of Jonathan Livingston Seagull
song with the ocean breeze and peaceful moments.
I will be reading your poetry. truly, Pat

[barleygirl]

I always love your imagery, but even more interesting is how your message seems to be circular, from youth to aging. It's as if you start out showing the wonder of a child ("flowers spoke to me") and then we mature, and later we return to this innocent way of seeing with wonder again. It's like a reward for getting thru life & making it to older age, when life can become simple & childlike again, if we let it. I love the contrails becoming shooting stars -- very creative! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Margie... you are so gracious with your reviews.
Wish we could have a cup of Sassafras Tea on your mountainside. I feel as though our Silver Lining is learning to express our life in poetry and then exchange comments... it is so enchanting. truly, Pat

[barleygirl]

I am on your wavelength, my friend (((HUGS)))

[Robert Trakofler]

Call me silly but it sounds to me a lot like they are still speaking to you :) Oh how I wish i could capture that feeling in a bottle and sprinkle it out on the sad days. This was all lovely Patricia what a write

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Bunny... I find flowers have unconditional love,, like puppies, Thank you for your gracious review, I'll send you a bottle along the Ocean shore. Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Possibilities are endless when we connect to the Source, when we see the beauty and creativity in our surroundings and when we share the fruits of our hearts. Your spirit is pouring all of that.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearSami... to "share the fruits of our hearts" is a lovely expression that encompasses so much compassion and vulnerability on this Memorial Day remembrance of the gift of sacrifice. Our world will heal with understanding and compassion. Thank you for your tender and caring review. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

So true. You are welcome dear poet.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Such an elegant and whimsical look at nature and its healing properties that can leave us breathless and in awe. Pity is we are often living under a cloud of stress and look past all the beauty around us.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear John... we do have too much stress for many reasons... that is why our world was created with such beauty surrounding us... the calm after a storm... we should stop to enjoy the beauty of the sky and envision possibilities. Thank you for stopping by with your awesome review. truly, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

Well done pat, one with nature at it's best

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew... it's all about nature that allows us to navigate our lives on earth or in the sky as we explore possibilities. Thank you for stopping by.
truly, Pat
