The stronger heart has embraced surrender
to the power and wholeness of love,
as if each river was a washing
of our eyes restoring
our vision
so that our spirits can truly see
and soar
even beyond
our most devastating of ruins,
confident,
really knowing
all is not lost.

Keep fighting and stay healthy!
In these times of a hidden dawn
we can find ourselves
in the space between darkness
and light,
and yet we move forward anyway
knowing heaven is not silent,
and we have the light
the strength
of each other.

I’ve been writing alot lately about the oceans. The oceans can fill us with their depth, their calmness and strength.
And they are endless, inspiring us, encouraging us that everything will be ok.
And spring is bringing us new life. The earth is renewing herself, and us so beautifully.
Rivers are also wonderfully capable of filling our hearts.
Even though I enjoy writing in many genres, now is not the time.
We all need hope, courage, strength and encouragement, just to make it through day by day.
May peace flow in all of our hearts.
Amen.

After the war, with our minds at rest decompressing
from the shadows of fear,
our oceans will find us again
with the poetry we thought we had lost forever
running, thundering
in our ears,
as the waves roar
in the power
of confidence.

In the poet’s heart we hold the light dancing with colors
filling our phrases shaping,
guiding, directing the surge of words
through us
the intensity into our pens,
confident.
And in our decreasing
we seek a river
or an ocean
dolphins playing in the waves
to fill us
once again.

Having rejected despair, I turned my eyes to the depth
of the oceans,
the unlimited horizon,
sunlight speaking,
restoring me with peace,
as the pine trees stood strong
and steadfast
along the shoreline.

Hope seems distant in the shadows of fear,
yet living within us
is the power
to believe again.
