Adieu to July 2020
























July, the Crown of Summer with pomp arrived
Sent unrelenting heat. Yet, we did survive

The month turned into a hot plate griddle
And the days just lay there and sizzled

A deluge of rain and thunder lightening
Sent drenching flooding, rather frightening

Then July's golden complexion cast a shine
On languid halcyon days in the summertime

The month brought relief and cooling showers
Watermelon, strawberries and gilly flowers

The Declaration of Independence read aloud
Celebrated July 4th, and we were very proud

Let us remember those who served in the past
Their sacrifice, not forgotten, their memory last

While fireworks burst before us in magical design
A virtual showcase on Youtube was all l could find

Then the New Moon swept over the clear, cool sky
With a message for zodiacs, sending a positive reply

Sultry days lingered and dewy nights and so it seems
Gives us pause to linger and ponder, sort our dreams

And sleep the sleep of dreams we wish come true
Live in the sunshine swim far away and  renew

Drink in the wild sea air and lose yourself
Leave worries behind, store them on a shelf

With July at the top of the livelong year
Gather sweet memories, so close, so dear

For there will be eternal summer in August

CHILDLIKE WONDER: By Polly Guerin
























Looking at art with childlike wonder
I search for distant lands and ponder

Can I become the inventor of dreams?
The creator of unlimited schemes

Who makes the world a better place?
Accepting the beauty in every race

The spacious generosity of ART
Transforms the view from the start

Keep that childlike sense of 'AWE'
A sensitive heart before you draw

Choose divine inspired ideas to unify
Hear the heartbreak, a child's cry

Reach out with your expansive arms
Embrace the downtrodden in alarm

Prepare for a new way of thinking
Even though your heart is blinking

Find infinite solace in the art of being
Faithful, caring, sensitive, seeking

Widen your vision and release doubt
Awake now to childlike vision proud.

DAY OF ENCHANTMENT: By Polly Guerin


















Our hearts are full of wonder
Our dreams leave us to ponder

To create the life you want to enfold
Envision it now and picture our goal

Accept the results with jubilation
Prepare to accept congratulations

Keep faithful watch on your success
Know it is just a matter to manifest

Now is the only time there is
Seize the present moment, live!

Be enchanted, greet each day
Thankful we are and pray

Now is the time to liberate the past
Let the radiant light of love be cast

See everything in a new bright glow
Be enchanted turn on a light show

And conjure up spellbinding magic
Enjoy the now and be ecstatic

Practice joy, sing life's praises
And renew yourself in all its stages.

A SONG IN MY HEART: By Polly Guerin














Rejoicing I sing a song each day
Hoping the feeling will not go away

But be my life melody, set me free
A glad-hearted chorister I'd be

Raising voices resound in gratitude
With songs of high-powered latitude

I celebrate the glory of life's rhythm
My heart beats in tandem noted given

Lofty voices spread harmony everywhere
I choose lilting songs with loving care

Spreading a global symphony of peace
Bringing the world comfort and release

Celebrating life lift up your joyful voice
Be harmonious glad keepers and rejoice.

INTO THE SILENCE By Polly Guerin

Take time to refresh, replenish
Seek the void to relinquish

All the stress a day imparts
Dust it off and now restart

Regain composure, be content
Luxuriate in private time spent

Recharging your commonsense
A wonderful way to reinvent

Your dreams, reality and goals
Find yourself as the day enfolds

Still, the silence is so serene
Here find refuge from the scene

Protected in some secret place
Settle down out of the race

And find solace in quietude
Escape from society, if rude

Encounters sadden your heart
Even before the day has start

Dwell on reasons to be content
With private time pleasantly spent.
