Fields of gold stretch for miles to the horizon as far as the eye can see.
Sunflowers turn their faces to the sky yellow and green reaching for blue.
Gaia is at her best her skirts swirling around.

Reality
Caught up with life, the hustle and bustle of everyday.
Occupied by screens, blaring out too loud.
We don’t listen to Gaia, her warning voice speaks of reality, we choose not to hear.

This is my entry for Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Sijo Challenge.
Future.
Teethering on the edge of tomorrow
cocooned in nature’s sleep
Dawn and her noisy entrance is not yet upon us.
We never know what lies beyond tomorrow, the future never comes.

hands that knead the dough
divide and set aside, to
watch it’s gentle rise.

You can bring bouquets by the score, chocolates, wine and candle light
Play soft music, hold me close, whisper in my ear
True romance is a gentle touch, a loving look, a lifetime of kindness.

Yesterday we went to a gentle soul’s funeral. He died too soon, too suddenly but he did not leave this life without touching so many. Go safe Bob.

Death is the cold beast
No one ever escapes him
As old as the Earth
We can let off steam and scream
No one ever escapes it.

Anticipation and excitement are natures healthy drugs, keeping the world turning

When reaching for the wild blue yonder edged in gold and silver
Our children, like flowers flourish and mature with our love and care.
Growing up is never easy but it’s as old as nature.
