something old
something new
something borrowed
something blue

today
I found the beautiful blue incense box
It was a birthday present
from my friend Astrid
years ago
I love the blue colors mixed with
some gold .
It also remembered me of
the time I was a BLUE girl.
My bedroom was all blue .
The Laura Ashley curtains were blue.....
and somewhere on the way
I started to love RED .
My wall in my bedroom became RED
and more and more
the blue made place for RED .
sometimes
I find things I was forgotten I had .
and by finding
a magical thing happens
MEMORIES come along .....
That is a wonderful thing
because I am still adjusting
to my new life
retired
kids all on their own
and my dear companions
MY TWO NEW HIPS
finding out who I am
in this new life
finding out where I stand
which is a whole new experience
with my new hips.
being able to walk again
leaving the past behind
with every new step I take .
Balancing
the old and the new
the past and the future
I feel new
and yet I am older.
It is
as it is with SPRING
coming after winter .
All was gone
and still very much alive
hiding in the deep and the dark
and than
days are longer
more sunshine helps nature
to find her way back
into the gardens .
and we all are longing to go outside
after a long cold winter.
well that is pretty much
how I feel right now
and I feel like nature herself
all that was gone
wants to start allover
with all the good from the past
collected in new beginnings
something old
something new
I still love blue
and all of you

Francis, that blue box with the gold rose caught my eye right away. Do you know that I love blue in the home too, but don't have too much of it. I love blue tea cups, they are the prettiest to me. So nice to hear you are enjoying life with your new hips. Being able to walk again is a glorious thing. Winter is definitely over and it's starting to look like spring.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHappy March, Francis! Enjoy your blues, they are striking.
love, ~Sheri
What a beautiful set along with a beautiful attitude, Sheri. Thanks for the inspiration!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSooo nice, all are blue, I like the blue so much!!!

Your blues are lovely. My problem is that I can't settle on any one single color.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEnjoy these days as spring comes to life.
YOU are such a wonderful poet dearest Francis! Your ability to write not only clearly, but POETICALLY in your second language is beyond impressive; it is the witnessing of a great gift. Standing as who you are, with two new hips.....and all of us search daily to find out who we stand as in this life...you are brilliant!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenTHANK YOU my friend, for coming to visit my post. As you know, I am no longer posting, but I will be coming in from time to time to announce the progress of this book, something that bloggers suggested I do years ago! And now finally, I'm making it happen.
Dear one, be well, stay STRONG! Anita (oh, yes, when the book comes out, I will let everyone know of its availability!)
