Weekly Photo Challenge: Harmony
I believe we can dance,
Under the moon lit sky and warm summer nights.
We shall move and swirl,
While getting soaked in our endless love.
We can dance and forget.
Hold on to each other like moon holds tides of the ocean.
Strongly, fiercely and firm.
We can crash into each other,
Like waves of the ocean crash into the rocks,
Leaving marks of passion and love.
We can gaze and gaze,
Endlessly at each other’s face,
Like a long lost traveler has finally found its long lost destination,
Its final resting place.
We can dance and move,
To the rhythm of warm breeze,
That grazes our skins with its sweet ting.
We can step to the Galaxies,
And move through Constellations,
Every step forward leading us to Infinity.
What an enchanting picture! And, the lines have complemented it perfectly…. β€

Okay, missy. I hope you find this and read it. I so wanted to respond to your post today but it did not have a comment option. So I came here to tell you some things. I am so sorry to here that things are so hard for you right now, and I so wish I could help with that. In my late thirties like you I was stuck, very stuck, almost hopelessly stuck and I had grown very cynical. There were several things that had led to me “stuckness,” things that were so very bad that in the back of my mind I was doubting that life was worth living any longer. But I had a young child that I adored and so the option of taking my life was off the table, but I knew that if I didn’t get some kind of help, I couldn’t go on indefinitely. So I showed up in my doc’s office one afternoon. I was crying so hard, I could barely speak. So he set up an appointment for me with a counselor. And I really didn’t want to go because it made me feel like such a failure. But I also knew that something had to be done. So I went and at first was reluctant to open up my life story completely, but she was a gifted and caring woman and so eventually I opened up about everything. And over the 6-8 months that I saw her weekly she managed to put “humpty dumpty” back together again, as it were. And I know that not only would I have not made it if it hadn’t been for her and the healing that she brought about, but I also would not be the person I am today. She literally gave me back huge pieces of myself that I thought were too broken to be healed, and though not perfect and still broken in ways, I am whole enough now to know how to stop the leaks in the dam most of the time. So, please, please, please Zee seek help with what you are going through. We are all just human and life is hard. And sometimes we need help like we did when we were kids and our parents had to help us learn to dust off our britches and get back up again so we could move on. And there is NO disgrace and failure in that need. You are such a sweet and caring individual and people like you are the ones who offer suffer the most, because like me, you feel things so intensely! I love you and if I can be any help, please let me know, Natalie β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈπ

Dearest Natalie.
I’m really sorry for responding to your note this late but please know that your words had provided me with much needed solace all this time while I was away. I cannot thank you enough for taking such precious time of yours to leave me with this hearty message. During my hiatus I would often come back to read your words and think about it often. So know, that you have helped me get through. Thanks a lot for this. There is no better feeling than to know that there are others like you and more so, such strong beautiful people who are survivors!
So much love and gratitude in my heart to have someone like you around ! I love you loads.

At age 16.. i walked ‘those’ beaches..
barefoot and free.. arteries of blood
visibly filled from hand to foot..
the hair on my ankles
and feet still thick..
bronze of yellow
sun imprinted on
feet leaving
prints
on sands
of God.. oh free..
oh liGht.. oh emerald
green waters.. waves..
sea oats.. waving…
seagulls spiraling
around Sun
oh bright
deLiGht you
bRing to me
oF God.. i feeL
without any words
at aLL then.. my friend..
and my worry would be then..
that was the end of that.. as i saw
my 44 year-old father as
a potato on a reclining
chair watching cars
go ’round and
’round.. in
Nascar circles..
watching boys with
bats hitting balls..
namely Atlanta
Braves..
but no sun in his
eyes only TV light
in easy
chair
rest
away from moving.. then..
but sure.. in law enforcement
for 46 years total.. i guess
he needed the rest..
that realization for
me much later..
as a worn-out warrior
of the Navy work-world in
a quarter of a century sunk..
when i would be 47.. removed
from the beach for 17 years from
the start of marriage.. coming back
to walk the beach in the Winter of 2008
one more time.. for sure.. i believed.. then..
the end of life in synergy
of life threatening illnesses..
cold i was to the bone.. then..
in both Winter and Summer..
no one told me that
there are limits
of stress
that will
kill
human being
DEAD.. but slowly..
surely.. i came back
from the living dead..
at the end of July 2013..
my wife and i are standing
on that beach.. still with a blog
post of the shut-in me for the
previous 66 months..
to commemorate
my newly found
life back with GOD
Nature and soon to
be humanity as well..
i walk down the beach
lone again.. then.. no longer dunes
to hide the panorama of horizon
all washed away from Hurricanes..
all ways around me then.. waves
brush in rhythmic sounds
of Nature’s hands
brushing the
shores of
Life free
iN balance..
and after that in left
hand justification my writing
becomes waves as well.. ONE
am i with Nature again.. able to
sing Nature’s SonG Free FinAlly
am i.. and i suppose if
there was a centered
view of waves
too.. perhaps
sacred symbols
and patterns of
words in visual
way would
come
too..
Anyway.. i am never
alone.. i am a wave..
the water and gulf
oceans
free..
ALLONE
i see God
for what God
is free am i too..:)

This is such a wonderful poem about love, Zee. And it’s very much positive too. You write about the happy and not-so-happy times all very well. I really like how you use nature as metaphors here – like the moon pulling the ocean tide and ocean crashing into rocks. Nature is passionate that way, and so is love…and love, after all, is a feeling of attraction and affection that is human nature. A feeling that comes from within and hard to control. Hope you are doing well lovely. Sending you lots of love as usual β€

We had some late spring like weather this week, up to about 25 C, which was real nice. It cooled back down, but is still a little above average. I see a lot of green, but no flowers yet. My guess is I’ll start seeing flowers in the next couple of days.
