Fear

Yes, I have Hazel Eyes!

Fear can run deep as the mind wanders

gaining control of ones mind

takes thought
 takes discipline

takes training

Any age one can control and be trained

to change their thought process daily

practice control

practice to focus

practice calmness

Is this easy - no, for sure

but, with dedication

one can gain confidence

one can accomplish goals

one can grow

into the solid person

one is meant to be!

Author's Note:

I am going in for Cataract Surgery on November 1st ~ Yes, I am scared!

Not from the surgery, but from the antiseptic and loss of me being in control...

I know I will get through this and I have tons of support - my friends say it's a

piece of  'cake', they have gone through it and not to worry...wish me the best! rg

I'm Here!!! ~ haiku

 

temperature drop down

cold wind chill breeze comes today

winter shouts I'm here

Time Slowly Passed ~

Day draws to an end

with thoughts put to rest

time passes with a swift turn

that will bring tomorrow's glow

When time slowly passed

days to be seemingly long

years pass as time caught up

wish it would slow just a bit

Clocks are mental fixtures

lets us know when and where

minutes gone will never return

hands will always move forward

Taught long ago time shan't return

use the moment at hand wisely

for it is precious and by our choosing

can defeat us or bring us glory...

The First Snow

One waits for the first snow

a blanket of pure white

brings thoughts of youthful days

promise is a delight

Happy times snowballs fly

chilly fun in the air 

snowman has a cold smile

eyes of coal is his stare

Long ago memories

come in our sleepy dreams

as we age stays with us

youth remains so it seems

One waits for the first snow

will come now very soon

it's fluffy and pure white

no more a wintry gloom

- Rhoda Galgiani

Calm is the Spirit

The journey seems long

as we travel the unsettled roads

twists and turns of dreary dreams

contemplate a dismal day ahead

Brightness within the eyes dim

clear vision has a haze of questions

the mind is strong and brings clarity

not letting silly thoughts overcome

Daily issues overtake us 

some become heavy to bare

others dim with gentle thoughts

clears path for a positive attitude

Calm is the spirit

gentle is the ongoing stride

one walks with strength knowing

He has shown us the way
