Unseen Presence

 Music lost

Silence touches flute

Sound within the mute

Nature waits - then came

Harmonious breath of sound

By untouched hands

Season's Style

Tree sways in Winter Breeze

Breath of winter breeze
commands a coming freeze
snow bows in winter white
hovers in heaven’s light -
ice crystals cling

Nothing Single

Two look at the moon

Grasping the world together

In a moment of love

With his maiden fair

Joined today

Love Died Like Wilted Flower

Love lost in a moment’s breath

Confusion filled the moist air not expected

Mind becomes full, thoughts of death

Sparrow’s sighed while loving heart was rejected

Pain filled the lonesome late hour

Dark and gloom overtook the promise broken

Love died like wilted flower

Taken by one, the heart buries vows spoken

Alone, no sweet dreams of you

Midnight hour comes to one with heavy heart

Night drifts by, color deep blue

We two must forever step away and part

Time will heal a broken soul

As faith sustains one who can see their own light

Love will bring a brand new goal

Next time love comes to my heart it will be right

One learns from past mistakes and character flaws

Which is a good thing, don’t go back to what was

- Rhoda Galgiani

Simplicity

Suddenly -

a touch brought
the frown to a smile
without warning the
stranger turned it around -
epidemic now shall spread

Mother Nature Smiles

Ah, Mother Nature

Snow, she comes again

with a cold wind

wrapping a chill

around whatever, whoever

stands within her path

Flakes of crystal design

covers, hides, burying all is

her sole desire - she is a storm

created of fury that displays

a winter wonderland

Degrees over time drop as

snowflakes lay themselves down,

covers with a blanket of white

burying the existing floor

that is our earth’s foundation

Upon its pass, the glorious sun

speaks to us revealing to our

weakened weathered state,

she has come and gone again

for another day as -

Mother Nature smiles

- Rhoda Galgiani

Inhale

Have you ever noticed how a feeling

can come to one through the innocents of

nature’s flight that can send you reeling?

Look homeward and see his smile as
his creations fly within a silent sound
telling us he is with us all the while

A simple message seen with our eyes

that calls to all who adore, he says,

I am watching over your silent cries...

Take a moment to inhale - me

Night

 Night shadow

Draws picture

On silent

Flat wall

Muted art

I Trust...

~ We are the Children of the Lord ~

I trust in Him always

Never have I been scorn

For He shows me my path

Showing me truth and love

I am saved from my wrath

I trust in Him always

He makes sure I am safe

Protects my daily stride

Guides me on my journey

Whether narrow or wide

I trust in Him always

For His truth cares for me

He clears dark eyed vision

Counsels my every move

Make the right decision

I trust in Him always

I will follow Him home

For He is my true Lord

I never need to fear

With Him, my soul has soared

- Rhoda Galgiani

A Women Scorn ~ Sonnet

The heart has turned away hiding inside
Conceals the pure love that once did glow
Afraid to reveal pain the heart does show
Broken with slashes deep trying to hide
Body mends the mind closed the gap so wide
Love has taken the soul far below
Buries the guilt so his hand cannot sow
Heart crying deep tears as true love has died

Soul has learned not to trust anymore
Steals ones mind and thoughts not to restore
His lying lips she’s now a woman scorn
Emotions wasted on visions now torn
Walks alone to regain life as was born
Brings hope to a women who is lovelorn

- Rhoda Galgiani

Every Breath ~ Etheree Form

Breath of Heaven

God

Lead me

To this place

I became whole

Through Him I shall rise

He has shown me the way

I gave Him my loving heart

I receive favor through my soul

He has shown me how to love myself

I thank God with every breath that I take
