#Fantasy Can #Change Reality – A #Group Just for YOU.

Yet another group that talks about fantasy books, you might ask? 

Yes, but with one specific difference. Here, we aim not only to entertain, but to inspire! Fantasy is a great place to hide away from the real world, thus the name, but it’s also a place where the characters, plot twists, and ultimate goals can alter your perspective and, perhaps, change your present reality.

Remember that great scene in Lord of the Rings where Sam is talking to Frodo: “It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.”

This is the most quoted soliloquy in movie history and for good reason. It points to the entire purpose behind the trilogy. The positive message borne upon the backs of hairy-footed, pointy-eared, and hideously ugly peoples.

That’s what I mean when I say Fantasy Can Change Reality….and that’s what we strive for here. To share stories that will shape your perspectives, point you in a new direction, or maybe just give you one of those “A-Ha” moments.

In Quietness Be – #Poetry of #Remembrance

.

I will in Quietness Be,

Listening,

Remembering

Your Sweet Love for Me

Until the Quietness

Unfolds in tears,

Longing,

Remembering

The many Blessings of Years;

Now in the Hush

In Quietness Be;

Rest

Sweetest Soul

In Tranquility.

.

In Loving Remembrance of my Mother, who joined The Source of All Life and her Beloved in the next Realm two years ago today….

And in Tribute and Memory of all those lost in 9/11….

My Tears speak in quietness….

Much Desired Love – #LovePoems & #Romance

Sweetest Smile,
Rest not upon my lips Until His Kiss
Lies also there.

Passion,
Fill not the recesses of my heart Until His
Is United there with mine.

Peace,
Be not Content Until I am wrapped
In His Warm Embrace.

Heart
That is Longing, be not Happy Until He
Fills it with His Much Desire Love.

By the Tranquil Sea – #LovePoems & #Romance

Together by the Tranquil Sea,

Lost in You,

Lost in me.

Breathing in Rhythm,

Like Waves upon the shore,

Each Caress prompting others,

Each making me want You,

More and More.

Inexpressible – #Love #Poems & #Romance

There is no Fair Expression my Love can take,

Which would adequately Reveal

The Depths of my Love for You;

For even as Time itself is ever –present

Yet intangible,

My love for You, as Sweet as Breath,

Is Inexpressible.

Window to Eternity – #Love #Poetry

A Splendid View Entreats my eyes,
It is Your Smile, So Kindly offered;
And I, with hopes locked secretly away,
Do Look and Long
For the Simple Reflection of my Hope
By Your Own.

And if the Pale Glimmer of Your Eyes
Would Lock with mine
And Sing to me my heart’s Desire,
Then would I be Lost
For Eternity.

Lovely Day – #Photography & the #NaturalWorld

It is such a beautiful day today, hot, but breezy and balmy; simple perfect for wandering about with a camera. So I thought I’d share some views of the countryside where I live.

Verdant Countryside

Thistle Down

Cabbage Moth Heaven

Amish Horse n Buggy and Farmstead, A very Common Sight

Another Common Sight

Happy Holstein Posing Perfectly

A Lazy Field Stream, a Holstein’s (and Mallad’s) best friend in July.

Antique Homestead crowded by Life

Avenues of rich green Maze

Lone Standing Elder amidst a Sea of Green

Open Farmland set neatly between clumps of Emerald Groves of Tree

The Dungeon – #Poetry & #Spiritulaity

I was locked in a Dungeon
Set deep in the Earth.
There was no pillow or bed,
No warming fire or cheering hearth.
Deep within the ground it lay,
Fed by darkness, supplied by Gloom;
It had no window for fresh air.
Oh to gaze upon the Moon!

Far within the realms of sadness,
Ensconced in deep despair and fear;
There was no seat for comfort,
There was no one to hold me near.
Alone, Forlorn, I struggled daily,
In my shackles, bonds, and chains;
Through the chasm of desolation,
O’re the bottomless well of Pain.

There was no lamp within my prison,
My eyes grew dim, I could not see.
How I longed for a way out!
How I yearned to be set Free!
Yet, from within my vault of torment,
The Sweet Lord heard my helpless Plea,
Out of the tomb of sin and death,
My Precious Saviour Lifted me.

All For You – #Poetry & #Spirituality

Oh My Dearest One,
You cannot comprehend how very much
You Mean to me.
I Love You so;
This world’s vastness is trivial,
Compared to my Great Love,
All for You.

Look, Sweetest Love, Upon the Shore,
The Glistening reaches of Silvery Sand,
The Boundless Ocean;
It is but a drop of water
Compared to the Endless Sea of My Love,
All for You.

Gaze Up, Precious Love,
See the Majestic Heavens
And the Realm of Eternity.
Beyond all this My Love still soars,
Set Free from any limits;
It is Immeasurable, My Great Love,
All for You.

Take my Hand,
Oh My Most Treasured Love,
And Allow me to Share
This Life with You.
Open Your heart and Accept me;
I love You More than any ever could,
With a Love that is Unreserved
And Perfectly Designed,
All for You.

Cast Away- #Poetry & #Music

Alone with You my heart Longs to Be,

Drifting Together on this endless Sea,

Eternally Bound in Truest Harmony.

Sweet Melody of Purest Simplicity,

Intoxication of Tranquility.
