Dear Diary,

Today worked out nicely for me.  As my surgery is planned for today, I will be unable to “lay any eggs”.  In other words, Nae’s Nest will be empty of any new updates, musings, and poetry (EGGS).

Therefore, I am going to take the Internet Censorship Ban a little further than most .  Instead on a 1 day ban, I will ban for the next few days….or at least until I am able to resume my daily “lays”.

I ask my “chicks” to pray that I will be back on the nest soon and laying away!  Until then, I will be protesting Internet Censorship!

 

NO LAY TODAY!   ON STRIKE!   NO LAY TODAY!

Purple Tree

Posted by Nae's Nest in inspiration, My Poetry, Nae's Nest, photography, Renee Robinson and tagged with , ,

What has happened

Is this a dream?

Or some new reality?

Something must be wrong

This cannot be

My eyes are deceiving me

I lay to go to sleep

I look out my window

To take a peek

I could not believe my eyes

The most beautiful purple tree

Swaying in the wind

It was captivating

And I was mesmerized

Such beautiful sights

In everyday things

Just waiting for me to discover

Maybe I have lived

With my eyes wide closed

Perhaps I took life for granted

Could I be seeing

For the first time

The way God had intended

Walking through life with my eyes shut

Depriving myself of such beauty

Refusing to see what has always been there

Choosing only to see what suit me

Such a pleasure it is

To listen to a bird

Or the laughter of a child

The breeze in the trees

And beauty of flowers gone wild

The everyday pleasures

Of what has always been

If only my eyes had been open

The love for a friend

Or someone held dear

Eyes wide shut, I gazed

Never before truly seeing what’s there

True beauty that is to be amazed

Life is new in my eyes

Seeing for the first time

The way God intended

May the purple tree

Always remind me

Never take life for granted

Thank God for the purple tree

For opening my eyes

For seeing for the first time

The beauty that has

Always been there for me

Alter Of Mountains

Alter of Mountains

Mountains with
Such beauty
And so high
Heaven’s portal
A cloud above
Just on
The other side
Alter of mountains
As I near
Heaven’s gate
I feel fear
Can’t continue
On this way
On my knees
I drop
To pray
Please
Lift me up
Take me in
Hold me close
Take my sin
Hear my prayer
Is my plea
Heaven’s gate
I now see
The door
Is open
The angels
Sing
Gabriel’s trumpet
I hear ring
Alter of mountains
I shall rest
While angels
Cradle me close
To the breast
Feeling pure love
So serene
Nothing else
Is like it
No one
Can even dream

The Gift

Posted by Nae's Nest in Art, inspiration, My Poetry, Nae's Nest, photography, Renee Robinson and tagged with , ,

The Gift

I will always be
By your side
I am always nearby
You only need
To believe
To have a little faith
And to receive

I leave behind a gift
Waiting for you to accept
It will always be here
Even if you reject
Whenever you are ready
To open and receive
Just open this gift
You only need to believe

When this gift you open
It opens your heart
It will come inside
It will never depart
You open the gift
The gift opens you
It is as simple that
It will never leave you

There is no test
No need to study
No need to worry
Or have any fear
Just open this gift
And accept in your heart
Let the gift open you
And never depart
