Peace on Earth ~ A Poem by William Carlos Williams

Peace on Earth

William Carlos Williams

The Archer is wake!
The Swan is flying!
Gold against blue
An Arrow is lying.
There is hunting in heaven—
Sleep safe till tomorrow.

The Bears are abroad!
The Eagle is screaming!
Gold against blue
Their eyes are gleaming!
Sleep!
Sleep safe till tomorrow.

The Sisters lie
With their arms intertwining;
Gold against blue
Their hair is shining!
The Serpent writhes!
Orion is listening!
Gold against blue
His sword is glistening!
Sleep!
There is hunting in heaven—
Sleep safe till tomorrow.

Poem for Today ~ Wonder and Joy

by

Wonder and Joy

Robert Jeffers

The things that one grows tired of—O, be sure
They are only foolish artificial things!
Can a bird ever tire of having wings?
And I, so long as life and sense endure,
(Or brief be they!) shall nevermore inure
My heart to the recurrence of the springs,
Of gray dawns, the gracious evenings,
The infinite wheeling stars. A wonder pure
Must ever well within me to behold
Venus decline; or great Orion, whose belt
Is studded with three nails of burning gold,
Ascend the winter heaven. Who never felt
This wondering joy may yet be good or great:
But envy him not: he is not fortunate.

Feel Good Tip ~ Enjoying the Morning Air

by

The early mornings are dark in south Texas. I stepped outside this morning at 5:30. It was dark and the night sky was hanging around. I saw Venus and Orion. The air was refreshing. I was there alone. My neighbor’s homes were all dark. My only company was a deer a bit down the street nibbling on a neighbor’s plants. I took a deep breath of the fresh air and new that I was ,  going to have a great day.

A Better Life ~ Take the Time

by

I was up early this morning. While I waited for my coffee to finish brewing I stepped outside. It was still dark and the sky was clear. I looked at the sky and the different constellations that were visible to me. I searched the sky until I found Orion. It’s an easy one for me to find. A deep sense of gratitude slipped over me. Here I am, fully conscious of the grandeur of the night sky and that I am a part of it all. 

Something to Think About

by

The days are growing shorter in the northern hemisphere. The sun is setting more than an hour earlier than it did on the first day of summer in south Texas. In my morning sky I can now see the constellation Orion. Its belt is a familiar sight. There is a rhythm to Earth’s journey around the sun. When we discover the inherent rhythm in our lives and flow with it, we develop a sense of inner peace knowing there is a place and time for everything. Find your rhythm and enter the flow.
