Almonds in milk.
softness comes from the heart,
seeps into the skin,
and grows like a rose,
on a beautiful summer day.
Ice Cream in cones,
the cold melts in the sun,
when love is revealed,
and spreads like ivy,
all across the world.
In a sea of love,
no mountain can stand,
darkness fades in the light,
and the cactus flower blooms,
for one whole night.

Different hues of pink,
flow from my heart,
onto a white canvas,
where it meets,
dances,
and creates,
a new natural world,
with yellow and green.
An explosion of love,
where joy bursts,
like spring flowers,
out into the air.
Where it breathes,
moves,
and feels,
the happiness,
that so far,
always remained inside.
Out of control,
this happiness flows,
out of my hands,
onto a canvas,
where it finds a place,
to shine brightly,
in a dark world,
that is slowly coming,
out of winter.
An explosion of joy,
is what my heart,
had to give,
and in that explosion,
I find a smile,
waiting for me,
every time,
I look at my canvas!
The photo above is from a painting that I created about a week ago. It was my first attempt at pouring art, and it turned out great. I am so happy with the result, and I love looking at it. It is acrylics on canvas, and it is called ‘An Explosion of Joy’, just like the poem. So, the poem I shared today is based on the painting and on the painting process, and I hope you enjoy both! Again, when you want to share my work, please ask, or give me the credit. And maybe good to share as well is that the painting is not for sale! Have a lovely day! Thank you!
Sitting at Your feet,
You braid my hair like a laurel wreath,
while the rosary is in my hands.
I sing a song on the breath of a nightingale,
until a small bird falls asleep in my lap.
A waterfall of pure light,
covers me in Your sweet kisses,
where Your love covers me with laughter.
The sweet joyful sound,
that comes from deep within my heart,
awakens the rainbow-colored butterflies.
My head rests against Your chest,
where I hear the soft beating of Your heart.
The soft fabric of Your robe comforts me,
like a blanket against the bitter cold.
Your arms are my deepest safety,
where I am guarded like a precious pearl.
Your words of wisdom nestle in my soul,
where it builds golden castles on a green meadow.
We run between the daisies,
as I hold on tightly to my rosary,
and my giggles blend with the scent of roses.
A gift is a memory of love,
that reminds you of the giver.
As I softly fall asleep on Your lap,
the rosary is still in my hands,
where I keep it as a memory,
of You.

Relax,
extend your lungs,
and breathe.
Remember,
today is where you are,
so, stop your thoughts,
from walking,
into previous years,
or worrying,
about what is ahead.
You live today,
breathe in this knowledge,
because this is where God is,
this is where He meets,
with everything you are.
This is where He embraces you,
where He guides,
and carries you.
Strength,
is what you get today.
Peace, is what finds you,
like a gift,
in the early morning.
You are loved,
covered by the cross,
and you will make it,
even in your pain,
and deep sorrow,
because I am here,
with you,
every single day,
in the present moment!
Breathe!
