Lord of the Rings...Frodo's nightmare Journey to Enlightenment

The Lord of the Rings is an amazing epic. It shows how friendship is so important when we as did Frodo and Sam go on the journeys of our life. JRR Tolkien grew up in mid=England just as I did and the beauty of the shire can be seen in Warwickshire. Enjoy this....

On Taking the Ring

The Lord of the Ring

Never did he know
When first the ring he took
What lay ahead for him
And what this all could mean

A journey fraught with danger

An adventure so it seemed
A fellowship of epic proportions
Thus was deemed

Total Purity

the ring

When first Gandalf the Wizard
In Frodo he did see
What others never knew about
A total purity

The ring so often had it
Bewitched and changed
The goodness in all
In contact it came

Even those who stood tall
Knowing themselves
Unable were they to withstand
The evil of the One ring

Fellowship of the Ring

Gandalf the Wizard

Then Gandalf a wizard sublime
With others of a similar kind
Whose hearts where loving dwelled
In Fellowship they came

The Ranger Aragorn noble was he
Legolas an elf of such purity
The dwarf Gimli small in stature
Large in heart
These they came in Fellowship

Members of the Fellowship

Frodo and Sam

True in nature too
Merry and Pippin of the Shire
Loving fun and mischief yes
But courageous when called upon

Last but not least Frodo's gardener
SamWise Gangee was his name
Loyal to the very end
Always supporting his master Become he did a true friend

An Epic Tale

Merry ad Pippin

Many others do we find
In this epic tale of fierce domain
Good and evil
Just as today this battle goes on

Those seeking power no matter how
Destroying all to get their goal
And those of peace who will find
That in the end
The good will win

The Seasons and What They Entail...taking care of Nature's Bounty

By cnwriter..carolina, Each season brings forth its blessings, ones that we can enjoy no matter what. Always though we need to be aware of how we take care of God's gift sto us of land and nature and sky...never poisoning them, always nurturing these treasures gifted to us.

Summer Ends

flowers of summer

When summer droops its weary head
Sun filled days a memory now
Haze on the sunset fills your eyes
The scent of flowers everywhere

The fields their crops have long been gone
Stubble stands knee high
Mice do have a field day
Hidden by the yellow rape

Quivering whiskers bright lit eyes
Munch munch their drooling jaws
Bellies swollen
Tails held high

Autumn

mosaics of colour on the ground

Autumn days move slowly now
Leaves fall to the ground
Mosaic patterns then are formed
Red yellow gold and brown

The sky seems filled with clouds

Drift by they do like angels wings
Tipped with scarlet pink and blue
Ever changing formations make they do

Down below trees grow tall
Their branches reaching high
Their ancient trunks enormous girth
Watching humans unaware they be

Winter

covered with snow

White snow covers o'er the ground
Stillness fills the air
Sparkling icicles hang everywhere
Peace is most profound

Wolves circle round the trees
Noses flashing here and there
No food is there for them
To kill must be the only way

Ever closer to the barns they draw
Where sheep and cows do stay
Huddling close for warmth together
Not knowing of advancing prey

Spring

New hopes arise as spring bursts forth
Idyllic time of May
Green buds open wide
Budding blossoms deep inside

Around the Maypole gather they
Who in the woods and forests play
Nymphs, fairies, elves
Beings from another world

Different to humans but no way less
At least not have they made a mess
Like mankind does
Nor burnt the forests
Uprooted trees
Dammed up waterways
All efforts made to glean more
Filthy lucre for themselves

Forever

forever and...

If you would walk
Upon God's earth
Be sure to take with you
A loving nature
Kindness of heart
Integrity of being too

In these ways
A pleasure will you be
To all who look on you and see
The Truth of Who You Are

and so it is

Seeing What Really Often Is but Looking in Another Direction...

By cnwriter..carolina,Sometimes it is not so easy to stay centered and loving when there are so many not nice people doing very not nice things. But that is another lesson to be learned in this classroom of much to see, hear and do.

Overhead

dark ravens...

Overhead he flies a raven dark
Many like him are down below
In different forms are they
Some human some are not

They call themselves by many names

Covering up true natures thus to do
But underneath the maggots crawl
Poisoning all around

Parading

who they be

To be found are they in every niche
Gathering to them like minds
Egotistical and vain
Parading voices words inane

You see them on corners hanging out
On blogs houses of fame
Quietly at first they do come
Then trumpeting out every which way

So many people let them be
Not me

Wondering

who are they!!!!

You see them here
You see them there
You wonder where they have been
And how they found their way
To be in front of us it seems

No way there to be rid of them
Till every ounce is sucked
From all this good and light
So bright that shineth everywhere

You wonder whom I write about
I will not tell you so
Check inside and you will know
No further do you have to go

Lilies of the Field

lilies pure are they

Bu when you focus on the Light
From loving hearts doth spring
Joy
Thankfulness for everything

And knowing this ignore you can
The thump of marching feet
Long diatribes from those
Whose voices loud are seen and heard

The sound of angel bells chime out
Sweetness of jasmine fills the air
And as pure lilies in fields grow
Look
Listen
And filled you are with joy

and so it is...
