The Sword in my Hand

(Edited)


Come, sit by my side, let's chew this ancient cud of memories... Where we were before and where we are now. Everything is silent, except save our hearts. Take this arm into yours, remind me what it used to feel like before the here we are in. Fitting into the tapestry of what your life was, it evokes memories of when you were here.


Your words are a living wave of positivity. I am thankful that I am and others are. You are who you are - and the world is a better place because of you. Grant me a moment of luxury, to gaze upon the beauty that sits here, waiting to be admired.

I should confess, a star was born when our paths crossed, you've inspired, ignited, and evoked undiluted desire to let my thoughts wander freely, with passion and desire of achievement. Your words are insightful and sharpening.

Moving in peace, beautiful piece. My floral enthusiasm can't be given up upon, not now or ever. I want to express my thanks to you for sharing your thoughts, at some point in the future, I may jump back to those very thoughts and memories that you leave me, but always, you'll remain cherished. Oh, the memories, no? I march forward, always forward, but, will indulge in a few memories along the way. It is my way. I know no other.

I circle around, the day was brisk, although not this day, people out in the park, admiring the color that has taken over the season. Trees everywhere, some even losing their dressing, left to bear the winter unadorned.


It is desirable to be the best version of yourself, every single day, and, I was faced with a great bridge of truth towards kindness in the middle of an ordinary day. A neighbor brought up my garbage and recycle bins from the sidewalk and set them up at my garage. A small gesture, for sure, but, it's the act, not the quantity that shows the kindness.

Lead me to a love so sweet, so beautiful
Starting the spark that ignites my heart

That you will remember the taste of our love
And the beauty that is painted with your words
The little things will unfold the mystery of the future


But these words are swords in the hands of a true lover, the feeling is true and the reality so clear. Love calls, love answers, a true heart seeking another will be pulled towards each other like the bee is to a flower. Keep the embers alive, stirring every movement in your emotions, because, after all, love is beautiful.

All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.

It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.

You know I love Christmas! I feel like the closer we get, the more difficult it will be to find that perfect gift. The shipping, the merchandise that isn't getting restocked, there are bound to be shortages. Less will be more this year. More than I expect. :) It's not about the presents my friends, it is about family and friends. In keeping with the Christmas Countdown, I give you one seasonal picture and the day count! There are 65 days 23 hours 5 minutes and 27 seconds.

How do I Love Thee

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Your words are a living wave of positivity.

Funny how I write the same to you now. Instead of a sword, you are holding flowers in your hands for us. Every day.

I give you some !PIZZA and !LUV.

Yes, I had. I was even lucky/fortunate to capture some nice photos about some clouds around moon in the evening. Those clouds quickly disappeared/vanished.

I am sure that your yesterday was also similarly nice. 🙂

Thank you for the pizza and LUV! You spoil me!!

I rather fill you up. Hahaha. 😂

Have a wonderful day. All the best.

I didn't quite understand about "I give you one seasonal picture and the day count! "
Are you going to show us one photo every day now? And will you be counting down to Christmas?
Don't rush the time. It's already flying very fast. Slow it down for a few days.

Are you reflected in the Christmas ball? 😂💪

Yes! I do a countdown, especially this year as some things will be hard to get without a good lead time. I don't live near family. So I must mail everything and mail is slower.

Not trying to rush. Just making sure nobody misses the boat.

Sometimes the time should indeed slow down, or even stop, but the time does not do these things for anyone. The time is just flying.

Yes. That's the way it is.
Sometimes it seems to me that some events happened yesterday, a month ago, a year ago.
But Google album tells me exactly the time of these events through photos. And it usually happens that the event took place much earlier than I thought.

We can slow it down by taking note of what is going on around us, the details, the small things in life. It seems to take more time, seemingly to become aware of the moments as they pass.

They don't, of course, but, feel that way.

Magical fall colours, flowers strewn along sides of the road, life offers much to be thankful for, including beautiful words in poem.

Wishing you a day full of cheer!

You always have just the right words to toss across my pages, Joan. @joanstewart You have a way of seeing into the words, then laying them back out that makes such perfect sense.

I look forward to your visits and words. Good morning from here, Joan! Thank you for your words, always.

Rely more in the power of the pen (or keyboard/email) than phoning LOL, always in writing making the sword in the hand dual purpose 😄. Have a fantabulous day Denise.

A small gesture is sometimes all we need to have our faith in humanity restored.

That is probably the truest thing I have read all night. Sadly, not enough people subscribe to it, but, I never let that deter me.

I can tell you are a fan of it too! xo

Thank you. I am truly blessed, even when it doesn't feel so. The beauty all around us is inspiring.

I just remembered tonight is #MarketFiday posting night! Yikes! Running out to get pictures. It is feeling like summer so, I will do my best to push a fall-sh post out.

I hope you are having another amazing day. How is the packing going?
