I am so thankful I have it all
What has ever happened to me
The spring awakening, winter sleep,
The ups and downs and energy
Which comes with every sunrise and sundown
The buds which will bloom,
The roads we went along and missed too.
I am so grateful we had so much life
Without trying to be who we are not
Being a mother, being a wife
The circle of life, the renewal and the end
I am so happy I have always had it
The future, the past and today
Everything what has happened to me.
From the beginning to eternity
I am so thankful I have it all
The tears, the smiles and tranquility
The highs and lows and feeling of luck
The circle of life
Surrounding me.
In the middle of spring,
In the middle of garden
In the middle of blooms
And listening to songs
Which have no words
Since birds talk another language
In the middle of life
In the middle of sorrow
Hoping we get better as soon as the rain comes
Or the sun shines
Or our hopes come true
In the middle of garden before the dusk
Where the silence is full with wind
And the only words are what birds say
In the middle of eternity
Love, forgiveness and grief
It’s the only place to remain
In the middle of garden
In spring
I hope my poetical writing or poems describe better what I am feeling and what I am up to. Yes, it’s a new awakening, a new cycle in the newer ending renewal of everything and everybody that lives. I’ve been absent for a moment, but that is what happens in this life. It can be very kind to you at some moment and turn the nasty side to you in another moment.
Well, please, read the poems, please try to feel what I am feeling and maybe that inspires you also not only to write something, but planting a garden also.

Beautiful words to describe the wonders of a garden and Spring in bloom, with birds song and hearts full, as we encompass all that is, our emotions flow through us..
Lovely to see this post Inese. and So loved your forget-me-nots and the Lily’s of the Valley… I have both of these in my own garden, and they bring such delight, as have your photos of your own blooms…
Sending LOVE and well wishes Inese… I feel we each have to follow our hearts as we create our own magical space to BE…
Much love Sue xx ❤ 💖🙏💖

Thanks very much!
I think there’s not much more to say than we are finally where would love to be.
My hope is to compile my poems book with my watercolor illustrations, I just have no idea how to go about it.
I hope you are fine,
Inese

Looking forward to how you are going to capture your poems with watercolor. We continue to learn as we do, it seems. Let me know how it goes.

Well, that is easy since I have many hundreds of watercolor painting images which would go with the text.
I’m just not aware where to start and how to proceed.
Any ideas?
I am so uneducated in publishing things.

Thanks very much! I’m going to check it out.
It’s just the starting point that scares me, meaning, how to put it all together. It’s been my dream for a long time to implement my texts, poetry and illustrations. Like I have it all, just need to be able to put it together! And don’t know how, LOL, very weird isn’t it?

Your writing is beautiful, Inese. I no longer keep up the blog portion of my site, but I do keep a daily journal and note what is going on in Nature here. The writing helps me remember the good in this world.

Thank you Lavinia!
For me, as well, writing and painting help me life as such. We cannot ask for everything and sometimes we get way less than we hoped.
I have read your blog for many years now, and, I noticed the heading “The last post” . Well, it was always pleasure reading about your life on the farm. I’m glad to know you’re doing more music.
I was off for a half a year, too, just couldn’t get to publishing anything even though I had written many articles. I suppose there is time for everything, I’m not one of these extra passionate bloggers to write just to get more followers. I do love the blog friends who have been around for more than a decade, just like you and I had.
I wish you all the best, like your Irish wish says – until we meet again.
