Poem written by Joni Caggiano on 07/28/20 – Photo by Stephanie LeBlanc
flower petals float into my hair
sand gathers in hills by midnight air
the moon closes her lid and darkness will fall
cypress grows in a marshland that forgot to call
creation blooms and acorns smile, as they are buried in sand
while God walks a lost child home, embracing her precious hand

Thank you Francisco. Just a little moment in time hopefully to remind people God hasnβt gone anywhere. He is with us now as always. Churches are struggling right now and those that can continue to support their churches I hope they will.
Thank you kind friend for reading and commenting it always means a lot. You and your sweetheart have an amazing day together. On a different note – the guest post you did was really something Francisco and the music was really beautifully done. I wonder if you have ever written scores for movies. I bet you would be great at it. Love and hugs to you both, stay healthy, take wonderful care of each another. ππΈπ€β€οΈJoni

I am confused and a little embarrassed Francisco. I sent you a response on Instagram. I would sure like to know whose video and music I was watching of this very talented female artist. I have been sick with a migraine and dizziness, perhaps I shouldβve been on line at all. Love π Joni

Thank you Brad. I appreciate your sweet words. Yesterday I must have started six poems but nothing felt right. Does this ever happen to you? Or do you just work on it until you get it right? Today I am going to get pad and paper to place in all my favorite writing places. Thanks again for that reminder yesterday. Hope you have a great day my friend. Sending you lots of love, hugs and blessings this morning. β€οΈππ Joni

I am a bit tenacious once I have gotten something started. But, I too, have to put things down sometimes and return to them with a different perspective and mind set. It is all a part of the process. They will come to fruition when the words feel right to you! Hang in there! Tons of love to you! ππΉ
