In the course of our victory, our puzzle completed,
compassion must reign
humanity flowing
in our veins,
as we each become
a new beginning.

Once our wings are established,
nature will call us higher
with poetry lifting hearts
bringing the strength
of encouragement
to each other.

Even in our brokenness, will still
hold onto memories of hope,
as if
they were ships,
sails filled with wind,
bringing us back,
we move forward
as the light sparkles,
on our sea.

In every season there are signs that we are loved,
the gentleness tucked inside a spring rain,
the warmth of the summer sun caressing our faces,
the brilliant colors of autumn inspiring us,
and the quiet of a winter snowfall, bringing us peace,
all speaking to us,
in a language
beyond words.

As I lift my eyes my spirit flies,
into the white clouds
over the bay,
as every part of me
embraces
a sense of peace.

The forest doesn’t hold onto our echoes,
absorbing the sound
so that we can listen,
to our presence
and our hearts.

In our spirits, the very core of our beings,
waits a special place, a sacred space,
moving us beyond
our tears, our fears,
into the quiet side
of our hearts,
where poetry is born.

So many scars ago, we were searching
for words,
but now that we have walked through
the thin veil of healing,
our poetry lifts us,
into the heavens.

As the day breaks, we awake with our spirits free,
untangling from our dreams.
Our body still mending – as we stretch,
and we realize there is still poetry
waiting for us, regardless
of our aches and pains.
As you know I love writing poetry, but as I grow older I am dealing with chronic pain now. So I will continue writing, and posting, but my presence here will be reduced.
I will be focusing more on exercise, Asian medicine (sometimes called alternative medicine) and pain management.
Thank you to everyone for reading my poetry!!
I wish everyone peace!

In the blue covering the mountains, my heart sings
resurrecting poems
I thought were dead,
and words float easily now,
soaring
on eagle’s wings.
