Where Love Seeks to Dwell

In the depth of our beings, the very deepest parts,

poems are born,

where love seeks to dwell,

where there is a choice, a voice saying,

“Will you live in the light?”

A Prayer Never Spoken

The most beautiful poem ever written,

was most likely a prayer

never spoken,

simple words ascending

from a heart filled

with love, never ending.

When the Ocean Meets the Sky

Our oceans hold so much of our poetry, filling us as we draw near,

speaking to us, living words, yet silent words

unlimited words, as our hearts flood

with the tangible.

And the flow is even more intense,

when the ocean meets the sky.

On Our Deserted Beach

On our deserted beach My Love, we can walk unhindered

joining hands, infusing each other

with peace, the waves speaking to our hearts,

as we close our eyes

seagulls swirl above

then quietly descend,

curious

about our prayers.

Spirit Poems

Our eyes do see the words forming don’t they?

birthing new vision

from the deepest parts

of our hearts,

clearly speaking a new language,

not from this world,

transported words

and a poem,

from the very strength of our spirits,

so beautifully

and wonderfully

created.

Love Always Wins

Death will not speak to us, when we lift our poems,

as banners waving

in the wind,

and our words we will fling

like javelins

straight

into the heart of darkness,

the Goliath we call hate.

And in the end, we win

because love always wins.

This

is our warfare.

Our Living Words

Our living words will reveal themselves

when we dwell in the depths of our hearts,

having been uncovered,

awakened really

by the power of the light.

I Saw Smoke in the Valley

I was in one of my mountains, blending

so beautifully with the One,

a deep forest leading to the ridge,

but I saw smoke in the valley, and the sun

turning blood red

I prayed and I knew I could not stay,

at first I heard nothing

but the wind.

And then I heard that still small voice

saying, “Go my son,

you have brothers and sisters there –

still in the fight.”

   

Standing in the fight against hate.

Three Brave Souls

Visions now of boot polish smeared,

a fast brush on leather,

ehoes of shouting, boots running, cascading down our streets,

stomping our bricks,

pounding our sanity, meanwhile

three brave souls in Virginia have perished

history haunting us, taking revenge

but may the gentle spirits – rest in peace.

I don’t really have a helmet, but I can sure make us some signs

for next time.
