Awakened by the falling, I move forward anyway
and I love
the way the light moves
filtering
through the leaves.

P.S. Whenever I go through a difficult circumstance I seek to allow the light in.
The ancient poet Rumi taught me this. And even when I think
I cannot continue, I move forward anyway.
Peace.
When we are talking and I look at your hair,
your mystery deepens, how
can the world be in a few strands
of black and grey, with a little bit
of brown?
how can one set of eyes
hold so many answers, give so many clues
making sense of our world,
and how do you still hold the fire
with skin so soft?
you intoxicate me….

The strength of our healing will never come from our shields,
or our bows launching
instead we will walk in a new light lifted
from the power of our flowers
and from the peace
of our streams,
flowing deep
within our spirits.

Writing of peace and renewal, especially in nature, has been such a wonderful blessing to me. I try to share snapshots of time, and feelings as I think of nature and peace. I love writing so thank you so much for reading!
Right now in life I’m happy. That also helps me when I’m writing. Yes, we have struggles, some big and some little, but we not only get by, we can do well internally through the storms. That’s not always easy!
I now post 3 new posts each week, and sometimes a previous post, especially if the blog is slow for that day. I had an English professor once that said 90% of life is just showing up. That’s sort of true, especially in blogging. The more I’m here, the better the blog does.
My post entitled, “I’d Rather Have a Cup of Coffee” was different wasn’t it? That’s more of how I write now. I’m actually a fiction writer dressed up as a poet. And yes I was expecting some readers to not like it. Oh well! I’m too old to worry about that now.
I say/write what I feel strongly about.
I still see no need to retire, do you know why? I have found that I still have something to say. I find that amazing and beautiful!
Thank you again for being here. Have a wonderful spring!
Peace.

No longer deceived by the wounds, she could walk
beyond the dark forest, fully
accepting the sun and the wonder
of it all, how green
brought joy within her,
in this miracle
of the new season.

Encouragement spoke to me today
in the blue winter sky,
in the calm silence
of the pine trees
confident now,
I actually know
that storms do not last.

This year My Love, let’s hold each other closer,
on the day of love,
listening
to each other’s hearts
listening
in the silence
of the snowfall.
Happy Valentine’s Day.

In the thrill of winter’s breath and the quiet of the snowfall,
I listen for the healing of nature,
the wholeness
of my spirit,
believing both
are not far away.
Motivated, I reach.

When the heart speaks of the need for quiet and rest,
are we listening
do we see peace,
as a strength?

We can always walk stronger letting go of our worries,
each released
drifting,
in the wind,
or the snow.
