Some call me son, brother, godfather, cousin, uncle, writer, author, veteran, and friend. That may be true, but mostly I am me - a unique human being who has run the race of life through many different forests, down many roaring rivers and along some tangled paths. All in all it has been a good journey of growth and expansion of self. I am a lover of family, animals, food, laughs, poetry, books, compassionate people and chasing the light. My first journey into writing is Quiet Thoughts: Written Reflections. It is a book of poems and reflections - a small flicker of light into my life journey. I currently reside in Emmaus, PA and enjoy all that the Lehigh Valley has to offer.

Dreams

Dreams (3)
Dreams       In the stillness of the night/ Or the bustle of the day/ All inhibitions are gone/ No doubts to impede/ All goals are achieved/ All desires fulfilled/ All prayers answered/ In the quiet of your mind/ In the peace of your soul             roger r coyle            8.19.2014

One Flower

Forget me not - one flower
we met traversing the solo landscape of life. paths of solitude. parallel paths merged on a blanket of sky blue. lingering to look. looks eager to scorch blue petals of existence. green leaves unfurling. imprints of life crush the majesty of beauty. solitude’s rebirth.                roger r coyle       4.8.2016

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Words Matter

Words Matter
Words Matter Words flow like water Rushing out From the faucet of our soul Creating pathways To cleanse To destroy. Our mouth reveals The truth Hidden Deep within. roger r coyle 8.17.2018

Work in progress

This has been a long, tedious, involved work in progress – still is.  I started with a different theme but after working with it a little, I realized it was not allowing me to do what I wanted.  So back to the drawing board!  With help from the Word Press Team, I settled on this theme and then had to learn how to set the headed, colors, fonts, and then today changed the Poetry and Reflections headers. I think I either turned more grey or lost hair from pulling it out but in the end I had great help from the team.  It may change even more but for now it is staying the way it is!

Reflections category page will be used for blog ramblings or sharing interesting posts.

Poetry category page will be used exclusively for poetry.  I will be adding some of my older writings as well.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you continue to follow.

Love

July 4th

Celebrating the birth of our nation. The land of immigrants. We are all immigrants to this land called the United States of America. Maybe one day we can again be united as a nation based on love not hate, of acceptance not rejection, of diversity not prejudice, of inclusion not exclusion. We can all work towards reuniting this land of opportunity for ALL not just for some. One can hope!

a Facebook memory from 7/4/2015

Happy 4th of July.
Raise a prayer of thanksgiving for the freedoms we inherited, the opportunities available to us and the democracy in which we live. Today we celebrate our diverse Country – a melting pot of many cultures, beliefs, religions, etc. Give thanks for our diversity with an open heart and mind. It is that diversity that makes us strong.

Thank you

Roger
