BELIEVE – A Sonnet

Once upon my childhood, for God’s love there had to be fear

His comfort I sought only arms length to please

As I repeated Acts of Contrition on my knees

Through my grandmother’s glasses I could see her glare

I knew God was above and when we die so were we

Yet narrowness and rules spelled out misery, strife

In God’s name wars began such pain, ends of life

My religion got cloudy as I searched to be free

My heart so torn, there’s more I believe

This earth which we live on simply one of the few

With such little we know can we be so naive?

Too many galaxies and moons scattered deep in the blue

My quest for more knowledge too much too conceive

My religion I let go, but in God I believe

Till the day – A Sonnet

Lost in the heavens above

Soft twists of cotton candy swirls in pink

Pale blue ocean bed I sink, sink, sink

Closing my eyes I drift, nothing to think of

Glorious perfect sunset

Daydreams near night I reside among stars

One foot on earth the other on Mars

Chased by a blanket of darkness I fret

My place on earth a place I see well

I halfheartedly cast my soul back in

The stars they call yet I delay my farewell

This life I carved one of original sin

Many lessons to learn as I ache and rebel

Till my day is my last and I no longer dwell.

Blessings from Mother Nature

When my head had failed to sooth my heart

Common sense could not be found

Mother Nature hurled her cape of sustenance

In Her beauty, love tumbled around

When darkness from an impaired heart

Cast a spell my way with a leer

Love whispered “quick surround yourself”

A blanket of green earth appeared

When the thunder of my psyche clapped

Fleets of shame soon downward poured

Lighting strikes shook those within my breadth

No light came til the morn

Young spirits frolicked on my bed of green

Elapsed storm left a morning’s dew

Awakened with the sun’s bright rays of hope

A yellow bird settled on arms length bloom

Comfort of innocence and beauty enchanted me

In silence I submerge my thoughts in natures play

I whisper to my heart “it will be just fine”

For in Nature’s light and love, I am blessed today.

Kitty Love

I reach above my pillow to touch your warm fuzzy fur
Your legs stretch out an you curl closer with a groan
Never alone as long as I have you my friend

Reminiscent of you wherever I go my friend
Wisps of your calico colors scattered on my cloths. Oh your fur!
Entangled I stumble as you weave through my legs, I groan

No matter what life haunts me with, I tend to groan
For me I’m lucky as I have at least one friend
Unconditional love mixed with kitty litter and fur

I complain about the fur, I groan yet I don’t mean it. Loving you always, friend.

Autumns Dark

Leaves swirled as autumns’ breath crystallized and taunted me to adjust my warm woolen coil
The trees outside scarily waving one or two yellow leafs now depleted of what once was green
I quivered as crystals shimmered down from above; new fallen snow glistened in the dark

The days so very brief, heavy low clouds reflect the early dark
Absence of sun I yearn for an end to each seasons coil
Begging the trees to renew and announce spring with a hint of virginal green

I long for those days when I could sit comforted on a bed of warm earthy green
Light fills my heart as I dream of the long days that shorten the dark
Yet reminded of the cold with the hum and warm air blowing from my furnace coil

I twist and coil under my green down filled blanket.Closing my eyes I welcome no light as I slip quietly into the dark.

Strangers visit

They whispered as she settled
Who Is she ? why is she here?
The fallen tree transformed for her
Still strong her weight it bared

Rustle of leaves while branches swayed softly
Filtered sunshine sprayed all about
They waited in silence nibbling on tree bark
No one dared to shout

Then mistakenly the cardinal
Forgot as she sang her happy song
Scattered chipmunks ran for cover
Scared that something would go wrong

As all waited in dead silence
what on earth will happen now
The stranger smiled and closed her eyes
As she embraced the latest sound

Calmness swept across the crowd
No one spoke but everyone knew
This stranger comes in peace and love
To enjoy natures beauty too

Immersed into the eternity of above

Deep blue sea of tranquility

Floating like a butterfly

On a breath of

a young sparrow’s wing

I fly

Invisible

by Katz in Poetry by Corrina Tags: invisible, poetry, poetry by Corrina

Much to my dismay

I found myself

invisible

once again today

I cannot say this

with such disbelief

nor is it so far from my conscience

to bear weight

to such harshness

I breath relief

and gain ratification

I have presence in my own realm

my reflection proof

of my visibility

my shadow and essence paling

year after year in one place or another

home , well my heart is here

and home can only be

what I carry within

what I choose to see is real

my trust and dependence has always

fallen on me, I am grateful as I realize

it is my own visibility

that I ever need see

SET YOUR HEART FREE

Set Your Heart Free

Should you wonder anything about me

You will find I have a history

One unlike yours, but that’s okay

You and I are not the same

Yet we may be alike, in some subtle way

Should you speak to me

You may become intrigued, or maybe not

Maybe find yourself wondering

What does she think she’s got, that’s okay

You and I are not the same

Perhaps one day , we will speak again

Should you decide to judge me

You may feel righteous, even strong

You might say, “I know I’m never wrong”

But what do you really know, its okay

You and I are not the same

To judge these differences may appear a little vain

Should you decide to know me

You may be surprised by what you find

Perhaps new things you may not mind, that’s okay

You and I may be a little the same

This life we have at times feels like a game

Clarity of mind will not help you see

Openness of heart, will set your heart free

Craving’s

Cravings

Hunger unbearable

begging just for one taste

unable to focus, a frenzied fog my mind cannot escape

My heart is pounding fast and hard I must have my desire

strangled in a wave of hopelessness the walls around me fire

My mouth so dry yet dripping wet my thirst is peaking fast

I must resist, I must restrain this once again will pass

Breaths shortened quick, deeper now

hunger tamed once more

I inhale deep, my lungs expand

battle won, yet still fighting the war

Written by Corrina Leblond

Six years ago in July I found the courage and strength to quit smoking after a long 23 year addiction to cigarettes. This poem a reflection of a craving . 🙂
