Soaking in silver serenity
Another dawn is waiting
Let’s warm it with convivial cheer
The song of life is always dear.

Holiday Blessings #Etheree
True
moments
of joyous
celebrations
are the ones that bring
beautiful melodies
of sweet songs, brimming with love
wrapped with emotional delight;
magnificent gifts seem lusterless
in the gathering of a family.
Holiday blessings bring us together
Christmas tree shines brighter with laughter
that resounds around the fireplace
to warm it with festive cheer
song of life sounds dearer,
lilting with a new
dawn to dispel
darkness and
welcome
light.

This week’s double Etheree is inspired from Colleen Chesebro’s Weekly Poetry Challenge #poet’s choice (with a twist.) Thank you for the inspiration to try new forms, Colleen.

Vintage Vibes
Drenched in the delight of love that grows with time, taking an inspiration from lingering shadows of the gnarled branches, they walk despite the slippery road of life. They find solace in togetherness and new promises.
snowy path threatens,
scares, yet we walk forward
enticed by the glow
that dances with promises,
old stories infuse new life

#Gratitude: Reminders
The tender touch of breeze
The soft sound of brook
Beautiful blossoms smiling
At the light and warmth of sun.
Happiness filtering through the trees
Moonlight streaming through my windows
Hope sprouting around me, every spring
The dusky sky, the merging hues of rainbow,
The warmth of my home
The mirth, the kindness, and
A steady drizzle of love
Seeping slowly into my soul.
The blessings of being alive,
The constant company of friends
Revered reminders of gratitude
Celestial moments of appreciation.
Assimilating the ache of setbacks
Embracing the hurricanes of life
Gratitude grants the serenity
To bounce back, to tap the infinite
To stumble upon and cherish
Those moments of endless joy
Those moments of togetherness
Sparkling on the sand of time.

Intoxicated
by nature’s nectar I thrive
Let me drink till dusk
kisses the sky and reminds you:
we are hypnotized by life
***
You took the sunshine;
alone I carve a new path
through the dark caverns
to gather tattered remnants
of dreams and grim emotions
