Theresa Ann Moore

I had a vision or was it a dream…
In meditation I was completely immersed
I saw an image flying in a darkened sky
Its fiery wings spanned the universe
...

Feeling full of immeasurable dreams
Desiring to burst forth with unfolding hues
Opening with the natural ease of a sigh
Blessed with a spattering of morning dew
...

After thirty years the day of decision has come
It is time to consider quitting and reducing stress
You fear you will be bored and have the doldrums
Time to slow the rapid pace and go out for recess.

A Dog Tale

My little dog has a doughnut tail
It wraps around in a perfect circle...
...

All the time in the world
Can never be as precious
As the years your child grows
It is a luxury of the ambitious
...

The gray cloudless sky is strangely silent
As my skeletal arms reach toward heaven
Within my frame of time thoughts are absent
Suddenly, from nowhere there is an ascension
...

It is said that a four leafed clover
Brings good luck to those that find
In the middle summer I looked all over
For a magic leaf of four… a rare kind
...

Time is of the essence.
It is full of many presents.
Some blow up in our faces.
Others give loving embraces.
...

A long breath of accumulated years
Has sustain each day as lives veered
Taking pathways to the unforeseen
Following fragrant flowering dreams
...

The influence of video games is immense.
Many are designed for escalating defense.
With a goal in mind to win at all expense.
Plan to outwit and subdue with an offense.
...

Providing my two very fluent grandchildren
A means of sending thoughts… a beneficial perk
Increasing accessibility to friends and getting help
Able to join the circle of a communicating network
...

As the chill of the winter season begins to knock
Daylight Savings Time tumbles back on the clock
Replacing sunlit hours of the day are colorful lights
Christmas music fills department stores overnight
...

The tree lined country road barely has two lanes
The serene path narrows and dips straight ahead
Inviting everyone with a silence that has no name
Captivated by nature’s beauty… my inner spirit is led
...

Vacant hours increase with excuses
You have so much to do; that’s what you say…
Can’t spare any length of time like you use to do
What’s the inspiration for your new cologne spray?
...

It is a position that continuously tugs and pulls
A predicament that renders a destination boundless
Between sunrise and the time diminishing hopes fall
A middle child seeks identity in a world that is groundless
...

The eye of a needle is very small indeed
It has a stubborn wink that defies concentration
The seamstress is on a mission of completion
At last the thread gains passage…congratulations
...

I have a friend I have never met,
Our words appear on the Internet…
We both love to write poetry.
Our lives have a unique symmetry.
...

A balloon slowly descended toward the ground.
Before touching down, its string tangled around.
...

Travel to the rocky coast of the Pacific,
To a small village by the redwood trees.
Feel the ocean mist from a bluff; it’s terrific.
Visitors come to enjoy the calming breeze.
...

A faint breeze stirs
As the storm approaches
An inner flame is sheltered
Behind reassuring walls
...
