Spring (is just around the corner)

Spring is just around the corner

came to visit me today

sunshine and gentle breezes

whisper throughout the meadow

as if, she wanted to say

Come see the birth of spring

hear nature’s gentle song

within the birds wings

it’s a clear blue sky

see them gliding along

Garden work to do

plant with loving care

water brings the growth

blooms with delicate hues

spring glows everywhere

- Rhoda Galgiani

Whispered in a Promise

 

The Sun will rise tomorrow ~

with a new promise of what will be

in store for the discontented heart,

floundering questions are expressed

openly after the setting of the Moon

The Sun will rise tomorrow ~

giving hope and renewal to one’s confusion

moving towards the steps that were laid out

dealt deliberately by a hand of cruel deeds,

a soul prays after the setting of the Moon

The Sun will rise tomorrow ~

with a bright vision of a beautiful world

yet to be seen as strength is endowed to the

body and mind preparing for the adventures

before and after the setting of the Moon

for it was whispered in a promise

- Rhoda Galgiani

Suddenly

Standing there, I feel

the focus of your eyes

calling to a broken heart

suddenly, bursting -

pieces start to mend

I Rescued a Human Today

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Some-
times the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life. She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companion-
ship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. 

Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved.... At least I could save one.

Effort in Strength

Hear Me Roarrr!!!

Movement within the mind

rearranges thoughts from

here to there - delusions

remain as they fight to over

come past experiences as

the heart struggles to survive

thus, mind and heart combined

effort in strength, she wins...

The Wheel of Life

Natures Peacement Movement

 

Trickling stream

and scented air

so many years ago

take time out

toward new age -

thoughts for my peace

 

- Rhoda Galgiani



Purity Inhaled

 

Purity of Heart, Body and Mind

Take a breath

breathe air into the

dry lung that is alive

Consume wholeness

purity inhaled feels the

wellness coming to thrive

Look, see the beauty as

shadows dissipate the ugly rule

light shows one ways to arrive

Again, time conquers one’s woes

His hand covers thee gently

teaching one how to survive

- Rhoda Galgiani



New Beginning Will Rise

Many a word has come to rest

from a place of sleep upon the breast

lying dormant words longed to rise

wipe away doubt from ones confused eyes
a gentle spirit touched ones lips

as if to say, the heart will now slip

onto a woven path, that guides one true

time has come life changes are now due
one step at a time to learn a new role

gain a new friend is a reaching goal

for life has come around once again

take it slow stop wondering when -
for new beginnings will rise

Private Thoughts

Boredom works

on the mind

creating a secret that

became personally private

thus, leaves one to question

thoughts real purpose

Before, During, After

Before I was feeling empty

Since joy didn’t fit in my heart

Smiles came and went with sad sorrow

Frowns seemed to frame my empty face

During this time, I found my way

Seeking my truths as I did pray

Understood that my days turned black

Comfort in life I now did lack

All was taken in a short flash

Dreams tumbled and suddenly crash

As failure overtook one’s mind

Your love in life turned cold and blind

Sorrow captured my body’s peace

Life we lived died coming to cease

After years of solitude pain
The mind grew and heart became full
Faith in one’s own self and in God
Taught me again to become full

- Rhoda Galgiani

 

 



God's Angels

 

Guiding star to God’s heavens

is the light of His spirit

Great wings from God’s angels

now bearing your faith

 

- Rhoda Galgiani



Season's Style

 

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

Become Whole Again

 

Peaceful meadow filled with buds of beauty

dance in the wind that spreads colorful waves

to all who fill their hearts with gentle love

smiles wipe the frowns as serenity comes

Twisted minds are calmed just for a moment

allows destined light to a despoil path

peaceful calm listened to one’s lonely heart

light upon one’s eyes show pathway ahead

Footsteps in one’s stride directly broadened

one’s path become visual and ready

new direction, new thoughts, new horizon

rejects fear continues directed walk

Minds confusion calmed as the light prevailed

faith overtakes the weakened structures state

trust gained as stable foot carries the body

confidence takes shaken will of despair -

as one becomes whole again in their heart

- Rhoda Galgiani

Light of the Night

 

Silver moon turn on your light

velvet power in twilight hours

mystic pull reaches flower -

must die to be reborn

 

- Rhoda Galgiani



My X-Beau

 

 

The phone rang - Hello?

A voice from the past

It was my x-beau

How are you, I asked! 

I’m just fine, he said

Old thoughts came alive

I felt swirls in my head

Divorce I did survive 

25 years marriage shared

We raised three children

Once he showed me he cared

This man was one in a million

But, his love for me died

I had to go it alone

For years I silently cried

I struggled on my own

Departed from my only true love

I still admire and think so much of

Along the Way

 

Along the way we somehow get lost

twists and turns that follow trails of woe

we search for truth that is before us

silently we hear ‘I am here - always’

We turn in the direction of His words

calmness over takes our weakened being

His light touches our soul with His truth

again His words ‘I am here - always’

Through Him our faith and love rings us free

trust His words we feel His love forever

He will not forsake us as He touches our hearts

joy comes as He speaks ‘I am here always’

- Rhoda Galgiani
