Wildflowers, York, ME – Photo and Verse – Charlie Riverman Bergeron 5/28/11
Walking each day
through the density
that surrounds
the ever-changing mind
Looking for moments
that lift us
and fill us
with newness
There you were
silently waving
in soft gentle breaths
Praising the light
in which the shadows dance.
This photograph and the verse it inspired is a tribute to Peter Shefler.  Thank you Peter for all  your marvelous contributions to this world through your creations. Your touching of hearts and minds through your passion is such a gift to us all.

Blossoms
hundreds of years
season upon season 
roots planted firmly
many have come
a few have noticed
one has exalted me to the heavens
and keeps me warm in his heart
it is for you my
blossoms dance in the slight breeze
promising you a taste of their labors

This Photograph by George Risho Robertson, London UK
was the inspiration for the verse. Thank you George for allowing me to share your wonderful work.
Silent CommunionFor to be found
within your awareness
nestled among
the shadows of lightbeams
illuminating
the delicate structure
of my inner presence
has given new life
to our silent communion

Sunset Photo – Kathleen Mary Ruth Everson 8/4/2010

Walk with me now
as we turn away
from the light of day
Let us remember
the joy and warmth
we have been blessed with
Let us hold hands
in the darkness
and know that we are not
in the shadows
For they too
only exist in the Light.

3/1/11 York, Maine – CRB

While sitting at my kitchen table eating my mid-day meal I was looking out my window. This wonderful view captured me and engaged me to go and retrieve a note pad and write.
It was the contrast of the Maple tree against the sky and the promise it held of change that inspired me. 
 
MARCH MAPLE TREE
Delicate branches
Rising up to greet the blue sky
Still barren but hopeful
Roots frozen
Not able to see
The Sun’s rising path
Waiting for the warmth
To send it’s message
Of welcome
Welcome to a new
Season of Growth
As the snow recedes

Such openness ~ we can learn a lot from flowers – Cathy Ginter
FLOWERING
In the core of my being, I am you
and we are wrapped in many petals
of diverse form and color.
Yet still, within we are divine.…
Come inside now and help me
spread my Love, so that all
may enjoy my life giving essence.
~ Riverman
Come Inside now and help me
spread my love so that all
may enjoy my life giving essence.

An angel appears in the frozen wilderness
saying, “My child you are beautiful”
Charlie Riverman Bergeron 1/31/11
Who but the angels in our midst
can lift us with their wings
and who can deny them their presence
May your angels always dance and sing
and bring you heavenly joy

Lush greens and silent sentinels
a memory to be renewed come Spring
We sit now silent… bare,
cold, near frozen… waiting
to return

Whose fingerprint rests
under the shadow of man
only that of the Creator

One more that was just written tonight while listening to this wonderful song 

The Xpression Of Love

the smile on your face
your  tender voice
the soft touch of your hand
these are the gifts
worth more than gold
priceless gems
treasures of a moment
that write on the heart
eternal messages of Love

Heart Moment

Sun over Lake Winnipesaukee – Charlie Bergeron
A moment
     we call the instant
                      in which everything occurs
A brief space of time
         for some
           yet an ocean for others
Eternity
within each of us
Reached only
          by stillness
                           emptiness
                   thoughtlessness
A space where
           all of creation begins
                                 and then returns

As I travel through and collect writings that have been part of my facebook experience I am going to share them here on my blog. These moments of inspiration were created as responses to the wonderful postings of my dear friends around the world. 
I will start with these two…. 
 
 Autumn’s  Whimsy
feuilles d’automne, Octobre, 2010 – Bruges by Marianne Otv
How playful is nature
she tosses her shapes and colors
creating whimsical patterns
for only a few to see
and then moves on

Charlie Riverman Bergeron 10/31/10

And…
  Ice Halos

Ice Halos, Kittilä, Finland, photographer Sauli Koski

There in the morning sky
behold a gem
a gift of presence
a radiant being
a portal of light.

Winter Lamentation

Winter’s barren and chill
creeps ever so slowly
into our presence

Mourning the
rich abundance
now buried deep
beneath the snow
