Seasons Change
I was thinking as I was just walking
Through the bottom woods one day
Autumn sun rays were still angling
Through the enormous crimson canopy
So many bright Red and Scarlet
Mixing with many Orange and Yellow
Leaves dazzling falling all around me
Above me a passing flock of Canada geese
Noisily cackling formation in their large V
I watched in awe with such wonder pass
Now what lays before me as I make my way
Knowing it won’t be long now maybe a few more
Cold fronts and those wet cold showers
And in no time just like I snap my fingers
Seasons change and it becomes winter again
Through the bottom woods one day
Autumn sun rays were still angling
Through the enormous crimson canopy
So many bright Red and Scarlet
Mixing with many Orange and Yellow
Leaves dazzling falling all around me
Above me a passing flock of Canada geese
Noisily cackling formation in their large V
I watched in awe with such wonder pass
Now what lays before me as I make my way
Knowing it won’t be long now maybe a few more
Cold fronts and those wet cold showers
And in no time just like I snap my fingers
Seasons change and it becomes winter again

About this poem:
There is this short, brilliant foliage season in the northern forests of the Appalachian Highlands and so breathtakingly spectacular going on here at this moment.Let Me Be Your Love
Let me be your warmth
When all your leaves are dropped
Let me be your fire
When all you need is heat
Let me be your heart
When your love turns to stone
Let me be your eyes
When you're dark and all alone
Let me be your legs
When you’re too tired to walk
Let me be the morning sun
When you need a fresh start
Let me be your guide
When you feel confused and lost
Let me be your ticket home
When you can’t afford the cost
Let me be your mountain
That you need to step across
Let me cross the great divide
That separates you from love
Let me be your rainbow
After the storm has ended
Let me be your shooting star
Where all your dreams begin
Let me be your honest one
Who loves you with all my heart
Let me sweep you in my arms
When you are ready to start
When all your leaves are dropped
Let me be your fire
When all you need is heat
Let me be your heart
When your love turns to stone
Let me be your eyes
When you're dark and all alone
Let me be your legs
When you’re too tired to walk
Let me be the morning sun
When you need a fresh start
Let me be your guide
When you feel confused and lost
Let me be your ticket home
When you can’t afford the cost
Let me be your mountain
That you need to step across
Let me cross the great divide
That separates you from love
Let me be your rainbow
After the storm has ended
Let me be your shooting star
Where all your dreams begin
Let me be your honest one
Who loves you with all my heart
Let me sweep you in my arms
When you are ready to start

About this poem:
Connecting all the dots ....... of love
WAITING
She sat in her chair
Staring straight ahead
Her faded blue eyes
Appearing glazed and red
Not moving a muscle
No view outside to see
Just a brick wall ahead
Not even a green tree
Tears running down her cheeks
Dripping down to her lap
Only her memories to see
Her old body now a trap
Remembering the times past
Love, laughter and family
Now all alone and no hope
Just waiting for life’s finale

About this poem:
Update: A dear friend of mine was just told last week that she only has 6-8 months left to live because she has Lung Cancer. She never smoked a day in her life!! I originally wrote when entering period of time when my Mom passed away. Towards the end she sat in her chair staring at the wall and remembering memories. I thought it was my memories coming to me - however, possibly it was meant for my friend instead. Kathy

The Eyes
“I have to look inside these eyes
Which deeply search for who’s within
The core, - to know what’s in between
A soul?! I vow, it never dies!..
How long it’s been? These lights have seen
Bright minds, to shield a tempting maze,
Strong hearts, to build the life I gaze
- And who’s to blame this world of lies?!
O! Northern star! O! Hidden dragon!
Such life, to waste, in hopes to win
A cruel war! I’m full of sin! In shame, I grin;
My veil turns black, to spill this flagon
Of griefy ends, when dreams break through,
Amends that law who binds you too,
To squeeze the core for such a spin
Within the grave I’ve never been…
I have to grasp what in these eyes
Have made me feel alive; -
By depth, a meaning; who’s within?!
The brightest star, that never dies –
A soul?! O, soul!! Where have you been!?!
A beast, escaping from a hive,
To feel the burst of sin?! Such waste!..
The world I’ve seen, to lead you in,
The tide I’ve raised, to light your shore,
The mouth that held a path of lore,
The breath of life, asking for more,
Have all these been in vain?! Just dive!
Bright minds, to fill this maze of lies,
Strong hearts, to shield the dome with dreams,
- And, yes! Indeed! – Within these realms,
The core you gaze, it’s right beneath your eyes!..”

Angels in the sea
One night I had a dream
I couldn't talk nor scream
Out of a silvery pristine sea
I saw Angels dancing so effortlessly
Flying to and fro they had a greenish glow
Such a beautiful site to see
I had hoped they come to rescue me
Suddenly, a whirlwind of light and love filled my whole being and I was placed on a platform with circular light rings
I felt such beauty and warmth and visions of crystal temples shapes seeming so complex but, effective and simple
I began to wonder if I died and went to Heaven and suddenly, a voice in my head said unto me
"Beloved son of man how blind you seem to be if you were dead would you experience such ecstasy?"
I pondered for a moment about such a thought and yes it is all for naught.
Then out of a flash of light there a appeared such a beautiful sight
Hundreds if not thousands of beautiful angels so lovely to behold none young or old
I asked who they were and what they wanted from me
They spoke without a word but to my heart and mind in kind so gently
"Beloved brother of mine and ours we are your sisters and brothers and friends from another dimension and time"
" We bring you here from time to time to show your true self in kind"
I looked upon all I saw of technology and healing of the heart and mind a spiritual journey ever sublime
I wondered if I was still dreaming and an angel spoke to me, "This is your reality not the world you live in everyday, we just appear to you in a dimension that you can understand our ways
What you see of us is only an idea to offer you from your point of view yet, we are beyond your understanding and we see and know your troubles you hold so true
You may ask why we do not intervene but, quite often we do only to a select few
Your world is still not ready for what's in store to bring much healing and love and more
Open your heart to what you believe and let go of your fears to be relieved.
Unlearn your past experiences see them wash away
In our truth there is no past or future but, only today
Humans sing and cry for love without offering it and wonder why they still can't find their way
They want but, rarely do they give
it's kind of a contradiction to live
Nevertheless, we sit in another dimension observing your human contention
All we can do is sit and wait and watch you decide your fate
Yet, we forgive you for you know not what you do
We were very much like you and still learning and growing to see life renewed
Hence, go our beloved and teach with kindness what we showed you. Though many will still reject our truth and that is their choice
For they are free to have their point of view. As the saying goes don't shoot the messenger for one day the truth will be revealed to each and everyone of you.

About this poem:
Absolutely have no clue where this came from but, you can take it or leaf it.
More and less
More and more
I want to keep silence
In response to the said nonsense,
Less and less
I want to scream,
When someone's speech
Is a sheer rudeness.
More and more
The beauty that the nature breathes
Is clearly visible
But less and less
The music is heard
Since no one hears it ...
I want to keep silence
In response to the said nonsense,
Less and less
I want to scream,
When someone's speech
Is a sheer rudeness.
More and more
The beauty that the nature breathes
Is clearly visible
But less and less
The music is heard
Since no one hears it ...

About this poem:
Just some thoughts ...
The silver back of midnight
We sit on the silver back of midnight
a haze in from the Aleutians
where God left a twist
of scale and immensity
with the moon hanging surely
above the creaking dock
timbers dry and seasoned
we cast lines into the wake
and drink from the home-made wine
under the mighty canopy
we are star fueled
philosophy flows
while the crabs scuttle
along the shoreline
a haze in from the Aleutians
where God left a twist
of scale and immensity
with the moon hanging surely
above the creaking dock
timbers dry and seasoned
we cast lines into the wake
and drink from the home-made wine
under the mighty canopy
we are star fueled
philosophy flows
while the crabs scuttle
along the shoreline

Hoorah for me!
I tried to write every week
Comments on my poems is what I seek
Also to give you something new
I have been writing on here in 2011 which is true
Some are of things I have seen on TV
Some are related to events in the news
Others of events happening in my own life
Some are funny, some wrote with strife
Either way it's been a lot of fun
Coming here and I know I have won
As long as I keep writing, I know I'll have a hit
Because the best advice is, don't ever quit!

About this poem:
I went through my old poems(mcradloff), and enjoyed the comments on them, thanks to anyone who took the time to read and comment on my many poems, much appreciated!
online today!Who, I Wonder
Who, I wonder, in this world,
Could ever say and unfold,
Why you created me,
Or how I found you to be.
When I'm with you, it's true,
You make me feel brand new,
You saw within me,
What no one else could see.
Now I know that generosity,
Can put an end to hostility,
And I would chain eternity,
To keep my kindness faithfully.
In the service of good, I'd engage,
If I were to work in your presence,
And anything you would ever ask,
I would give to you with love, even my life.
Perhaps many people don't know,
But without you, I'm hollow,
I'm like a dry desert,
Lifeless and thirsty, I revert.
And when I've been at my hardest,
I always found you, regardless,
You were wherever I've been,
You didn't discard me like waste within.
That's why I want to proclaim,
That you are my God, in name,
Not only in times of bliss,
But also in times of abyss.

It was originaly made in Romanian word's but i have translate it, and it is dedicate to God as you will be able to see
online today!My Own Leap of Faith
To finally just let Life
move on & flower ...
For to peg my happiness
with finding someone right
is really not wholly
within my power ...
So many variables out there,
known & unknown...
that my quest for Love's happiness
been just about so difficult
to have & own ...
I am but one ... and just human...
More passing years
I slowly gain ...
And yet I determinedly will it,
that life be & remain
productive and meaningful ...
To still , somehow,
gather as many memories,
happy and beautiful ...
So I can write
my remaining chapters
with pages that warmly glow ...
from all the unforgettable
good experiences
I would have been blessed to know ...
And that is my own leap of faith ...
To shed the sadness
behind the loneliness
that me bathes ...
By living with renewed purpose ...
By instead letting Love
find its own way to me
in due course ...
By ceasing to pine for something
that seemingly keeps out of reach
and then leaves me wanting ...
For however my life takes shape,
I feel an obligation
I cannot escape ...
A duty to myself ,
to live it as best I can ,
with meaning & substance....
That is my plan ...
But at the end of the day,
I have to admit and say ...
I'll always recognize & appreciate the power of Love
to transform
one's life & own person ....
To make it glow
with those twinkling stars
for all the right reasons ...
To have someone to laugh with
and not just by myself smile ...
To be with me ...
life's joys to celebrate ,
and not just alone
to enjoy the while ...
The romantic ingrained in me
will always keep some wish alive
that "he" exists
somewhere out there
for me to someday see ...
And that maybe
there will come that time
when "I" , once more,
will become a "We" ...
move on & flower ...
For to peg my happiness
with finding someone right
is really not wholly
within my power ...
So many variables out there,
