Forces Of God And Nature
my skin bleeds raw for wounds inflame
crestfallen life for a child hard to blame
two hearts in youth fiercely felt akin
what a normal life could have been
like the seeds of wildflowers adrift
stalwart wind blows hard and swift
weeds try storms to quell them out
insects devour and next a drought

I loved it, Joni! Congratulations. I went there and commented … xo 💗
Thank you Cindy, I really appreciate it. By the way I loved the interview with Francisco, quite beautiful. Big hugs and lots of love, Joni 🌹
You’re so welcome, always Joni!!!!! Oh I’m glad you liked it. Thank you so much for letting me know and visiting.
Will look forward to seeing yours!!! 💗
Thank you so much Cindy. I thought this was a very thoughtful and interesting interview that has gotten some interesting feedback which doesn’t sound like canned answers. I thought your interview was particularly interesting Cindy. You have achieved so much to be very proud of and I know you have worked hard to get where you are and I admire that about you. My favorite pieces of mine to read is your “Friday Fun Day,” when you talk honestly about “real life.” It is both innovative and I like it because of the way you share so much about yourself. It is funny to me how as we age, at least for me, and I sense the same thing about you, for us to state our truth and not worry so much what people might think. So thank you Cindy and just to let you know my interview will be on this coming Sunday. Big hugs and love, Joni
You’re so very welcome, Joni. It’s nice to see you back in touch as we’ve been so busy..Remember when our comments were sooooo long and we went on and on.. lol which we cannot do again ha.. with time so limited. You re so very kind and I’m glad you enjoy my Fun Fri-Yay as sometimes I feel I babbling on and who cares but i do my best to entertain and share candidly my truths of “real life” like you say!!! Awww you’re sweet and I can’t wait to read yours.. Mine had errors which I didn’t check and realize i couldn’t edit but so bet it and it was candid alright as I was on a plane doing it. I know yours will be fantabulous.. Love all around today and always💗💗💗
What an enduring message Cindy. First, I did not see a single mistake in your interview, so it either was just so interesting that I did not see it or you are the only one that did. I loved how you answered your questions. It is a very kind thing that Francisco is doing. Yes, I do remember when I went on and on in my comment section and I loved every moment of it as well. I always enjoyed talking to you and I always enjoy reading you too. So please don’t respond back to this comment. I don’t know how you work and do what you do but I am amazed at your energy Cindy. Yes, I love your talking truth, it is so refreshing to me. Thank you for this very generous comment again and by the way, I love the photo of you on the beach with that beautiful sleeveless dress and all those beads, you can still pull that off so easily and look amazing. Thank you for your kind words dear Cindy and let’s just agree that one comment is ok, I know your time is extremely precious. I love you all around and always too. Please don’t ever end that wonderful talk you do, it is a joy to read. Big hugs and many blessings to that amazingly gorgeous family of yours. They get it from their parents!!!! ❤️
I will just say, thanks so very much and I love you so very much, Joni! Enjoy the day☀️💗☀️
You too my friend. It is a blessing to have met you so long ago. My husband has started to get upset about all the time I spend on line and family has to come first. There is a lot of pressure that is going on when you’re trying to publish and I know you know what I’m talking about. There are just things that have to be done that people don’t necessarily see being done. It takes a lot of work and a lot of hours. Thank you again for your kind words Cindy they mean a lot to me. I love you very much too. It is a beautiful day here and we have gone for a long walk and it’s been nice as it is not as hot as it was. 😘🥰🐝❤️🙏😍
Gorgeous writing as always, Joni. I love how nature always seems to play such a pivotal role in your poetry. It provides such vibrant imagery. Wonderful stuff, my friend. Here’s wishing you and Scott a good rest of the week. 😊
Thank you so much Mike. It always means so much to me when you like something I have written as I am such an admirable of yours. Sending much love, hugs and appreciation for your friendship. ❤️🌹
This is so beautiful Joni. Congratulations
Thank you so much Belladonna for reading me on Hotel, that is very gracious of you my friend. Big hugs, Joni
