Give some soul spice

Why do people fail us?
Why lose sight of life
Become less human and make a fuss!
Angry, sad, emotions cut like a knife

 

Life can be so beautiful
Full of joy, laughter and love
Choices made for the good
Embrace the blessing from above

 

Be good, be strong
Be moved … take care
Do the things not feeling wrong
Only Kindness … we may bear

 

Can you be, Have faith to do
Love thyself, others too
Treat the people nice
Sprinkle goodness, our soul’s spice!

Come on Summer

T'is gone with the wind, no more dirt, no more dust
Cold mornings, gone with the icy dew,
T'is gone, cold, dark sadness becomes few
Summer sunshine- come here you must!

Time for happy smiles, waterski and beer
Time for songs of summer, pack away the meds
Love blossoms, colours burst like newly weds
Come on summer loving, want to hold you near!

Bring watermelons, pineapples and berries
Fruit cake, pavlova and cherries
Water balloons, sprinklers and yellow giggles,
Can it be time for tails to do wiggles ?

Summertime sadness no one must feel
For my heart is beating, His love... so real
Come on colour of sun
My song , love, passions begun

Bring on the drinks, take out the Ice
Pack away blankets curry and rice.
Bring on the boom boom beats
Ladies and gentlemen - take your summer seats!

The Lowveld Bug has bitten

 I am fortunate to have met the lovely lowveld and all it's glory and intricate beauty a couple of months ago... Wow what a place! Possibly the best in SA I have come across in my lifetime; I might even go as far as saying one of the nicest places in the world! Well maybe not 'nice' as the lady down the street is nice , a cuppa tea is nice... so rather one of the most extraordinary places ;-) and a little piece of heaven.

I guess it's like living by the sea, where if one stays near it for a while, one starts to take its beauty for granted and have to make a point of appreciating it.
Well I think part of this little letter goes out to all the fortunate "lowveld livers" to remind you that your hometown is a massive blessing from Above and that you absolutely must make effort to appreciate it. And the other part is probably to share a little of my experience of its magic with the not-so-fortunate public.

From the gorgeous Caster bridge centre with all its authentic shops to the absolute best selection of films (and popcorn) at the local cinema, to sushi at Fez and bacon and egg panninis at Zannas To buying that winning item @ the antique store. Not to even mention the most amazing other activities just a few kilometres away.

To finding parts of a lost soul amongst the pebbles in the crystal clear river streams and picking up missing pieces of ones being on the pine needle blanket whilst gazing into the humid sun rays through the tree shadows.

Autumn leaves on sunlit grass fields and silver lined treetops with ice white clouds painting the sky, friends with which you could take on the Colosseum gladiators, the fish eagle's notes in the day's song and natural water features tricking down mountain rocks ... these are just a few of the things that makes me love it so much.

Where peace and tranquillity has new meaning and gracious living comes naturally. Where the important things in life are revealed. And where belonging comes to all that are seeking it.

It's a place where music dances and people smile, dogs are happy and cats, well, are cats. Where misty waters are real and gnomes come alive; Where butterflies make babies and birds compose masterpieces.

Love it, live it and breath it. And breath again.

And so the blessings continue ... Oh ... did i mention you live in Heaven!?

All my love Tash

To the beginnings

I love how you make me feel
Everything with you feels so real.
I find myself wanting more and more
To get to know you right through the night till four!

Your heart's desires seems to become mine
It's a scary but exciting time,
I am falling yes I think I am...
I feel alive and with you I know I can.

In your arms is where I think
He meant me to be
"Getting" someone like I get you
Has never made me feel so free

Can you hear me sing
Dance, I even might...
Oh how I love your heart
Do let it grow in my love's light

Night turns to day

 

Monday has come and gone

Where is my head, my thoughts are done

It's been quite a ride

Feelings no longer hide.

I listen to the dark night sky 

Safe, sheltered but still scared

Why do i start to cry? 

My heart after all was teared 

On this lonely night I stare

Into nothingness, only a glare

A tear, a memory begone

I am ok, the pain will soon be none

Tomorrow the sun will smile

At me, at you, if only for a while.

As the world takes a new breath

The day comes fresh promising life not death.

I thank the angels for their grace 

Caring for me with their warm embrace 

Lord , Tonight i pray ...

Shape me, Guide me; make me your clay.

Help me spread my wings 

Discover me and so many things.

It is all good, no more fear

Not now that You are near.

I am able and strong

I am beautiful and i belong, 

Lord, tonight I pray...

Your Light and love come to stay.

Shall we

 As I reflect back on past time
Emotions fears, faces of mine
Have I arrived at the new me
Happy, real, eager to be?

Searching my soul, my heart, my mind
It's filled with thought of you , so kind
Teaching me real love and care
I love you so much, I can almost not bare.

Happy, burning, yearning hearts collide
Your life journey, mine will also ride
If in God's name we be one
Our love, compassion will never be done

Inspire me, consume me
Fires of love the whole world can see
Oh how I love you my baby
Set sail on our love boat shall we
