More than simply softer flesh, the human heart holding
who we truly are,
a healing balm walking,
even our spirits
within our frames
will know the answers
deep within……this……
is our peace.

In the space between light and darkness,
as the dawn begins breaking,
there are times we don’t feel the privilege of a new day,
and we still smell the smoke,
or taste the cinder ash
of our dying hearts,
may we always remember
may we hold onto that light
that promises a new day,
always.
Note: This is about overcoming sadness.

Wordflow only holds onto the healing of poetry
as long as bitterness is cast away
spinning, descending
back to where it came from.
Our best work
lives with a heart running
like prayers on the wings
of birds soaring.

In the heat of summer, the lake often calls to artists and dreamers
in the coolness of water,
and the explosion of green.
And sometimes…. even prayers
are sculpted,
given shape, given light,
flowing through our hearts and escaping.

Whispers in the mist, surrendering to the rain,
as the wind gently plays with the leaves
I suddenly remember
a younger thunder
when you and I listened
to those sounds, that story
only told by summer.
So young we were back then,
yet we do
still hold hands.

What is it we search for within the waves?
Is it simply the rhythm
of the earth washing our spirits,
or maybe a reflection
pulling from our memories within?
Mostly I think, we become……
at peace with ourselves.

There are 393 million guns in the United States, not including military and police weapons.
We have more guns here than we have people. For every man, woman, child, and infant…. there is a gun, and more than that.
There are times that police arrive on the scene of a shooting and they are out gunned by the shooter.
Countries such as Britain don’t have mass shootings because they have few guns. It’s simple math really.
Having more guns makes us less safe.
And yet certain Senators continue to block legislation that would help us to be safer.
If you live in the U.S. please let your Congressional representatives and Senators know you want some common sense gun control.
The time is now.
Peace.
