Take a walk in the wilderness, and set your mind free
from the chains of this world.
Breathe in all the goodness
made for you and I.

The Gentleness of Light
As the forest surrenders to the gentleness of light,
transforming our minds,
our thoughts even,
renewing our spirits
with reshaping
our epiphany
a glimpse really
of a more beautiful
and enduring
poem.

Strength that Will Endure
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure, as long as life lasts.”

Walking with the Sacred
Oceans will hold our prayers, as we walk along the shore
breathing in the peace of rolling waves, washing us.
And forests will hold us, safely
in our weakest moments,
until we have reached the top
of the mountain,
fully aware
and confident,
having walked
with the sacred,
that yes, we can trust,
the Divine
with our future,
as we lift
our hearts to the sky.

The Journey of Your Light
Don’t bury your pen just yet my brother, my sister
the journey of your light has just begun
and there are still songs
that need to be written,
and still music
in your heart
from the mountains.

The Light of Your Own Being
“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.”

quote by Hafiz
The Light of Our Eyes
If the light of our spirits is in our eyes, what visions do we see
when we read our poems?
are there any feathers
is there any power
from our wings
lifting off
from our pages?
