Foreword
JEANNIE DIAZIO entered this world at Fort Worth, Texas, the daughter of Patricia and Lawrence Cole, III. She is the wife and friend of Kenneth Diazio, a homemaker, mother of two children and a poet, now making her home in Wylie, Texas.
Prior to the ten years of compilation, organization and review of Clouds of Lavender, Jeannie worked as an accounting assistant, Medicare auditor and office manager. Writing poetry became a significant time for bridging the loss of her mother with a new life without her, as evidenced by the poem entitled, “Tribute to My Mother.” Jeannie continues to write, yielding a prolific number of poems.
Jeannie shares with her reading audience her most cherished memories in poems reflecting faith, hope, appreciation for nature and love for God. Her poems instill in the minds of her readers their worth and potential gifts which all humans possess. Seeking to inspire and uplift the reading audience, her poems reveal a sense of peace, thankfulness and communion with all that is good.

Clouds of Lavender
Clouds of lavender across the sky
Precious memories before my eyes
The presence of grace surrounding me
Unconditional love ever so sweet
Tears of laughter
Smiles of joy
Amidst Your glamour I adore
Acclaiming glory that I longed for
The beauty of Your ardent soul
Blanketing me with peace and tranquility
As I look above to soft cushiony pillows
Of clouds of lavender across the sky
Iridescent Colors
Iridescent colors reflected in the mist
Exemplifying its beauty
Soft gentle hues displayed gracefully
Enlightening our souls
Serenity transcending
Enveloping a warmth amongst me
Between me and my inner being
Sensing exquisiteness and splendor
Behold in my dreams
Conceived by illumination
In unison they bring
Adoration and purity
Iridescent colors reflected in the mist
An image inscribed through Heaven’s bliss
Miracle in My Dreams
I had a dream a miracle took place.
A group of people gathered outside
While God transformed the sky of the USA
Into the American flag for all to see.
The occurrence was eminently still.
Then everybody joined hands and sang
“God Bless America.”
A sense of patriotism and pride
filled the air with unity.
Hymn and praise bellowed out
as people had realized the
forgotten being remembered,
our taking for granted
freedom and justice for all.
God Bless America,
our home sweet home,
the presence of omnipotent God even in sleep.
Dream Haven
Drawn to this inescapable compelling love
The simplicity of it all
Subliminal messages in my mind
Embedded thoughts in peaceful seclusion
Wings of justice in flight
Endless emotion of compassion and certainty
Proclaiming the truth be told
I listen to hear the voice within
A new chapter has been written
Emerging into a life form of beauty
I feel so alive and vigorous
Like I am in consensus with my soul
With immense anticipation I proceed
(Onward I go) awake at last
I know in my sleep
The subconscious sets forth the reality
An eager heart admires just being
Heaven’s Treasure
The jewels of our heart
From the depths of earth and sea
Like raw uncut gems
Natural creation of God’s gift
Waiting to be finely cut
Polished and refined
Purest form of color and brilliance
Intrinsic clarity of our souls
Exhibiting quality of design and value
Luminescent love and beauty
We are the precious gems of God
May we seek to find Heaven’s treasure
Finding Christ within
Sitting Here Silently
In the still and quiet
Patiently with calmness
I empty all my thoughts
I empty all my emotions
Waiting to hear Your ever-present voice within
You at my side and knowing no fear
Reassured by Your gentleness
Serene and subdued Your whisper
Truth and light shining forth
Genuine and kind
Teaching me wisdom
Devoutly and earnestly
Knowledge of life
Straight from the heart
Feeling Your gracefulness
Your warmth and pureness
You give yourself freely
With undying absolute love
Enriching lives of so many
Charity, faith and love
Doing the will of Heaven
We seek and we find
Needing merely You
Embodiment of Your Spirit
Radiant light of infinite Love
