Jagged Edges

20180707_160706

Within in our spirits a cactus can take root,

jagged edges

roughness unless

we follow the courage

we’ve been given,

to forgive

and move on.

The Hawk Ascends

A perfect union of earth and sky, drawing me in,

calling forth who I once was

before the ruins descended.

I take a knee,

remembering

letting go now of the prayer

I’ve been carrying

for so long, eyes closed

my back lurches and my wings extend,

unfolding

as my spirit reaches

into the clouds.

Note: Is he human or is he hawk? It’s hard to tell sometimes.

The Prayer Stone

In search of the prayer stone this morning, there were no ancient sages whispering mystical words from the dark corners of the forest.

And the sun was dull at times, as clouds ceased the calling of flowers, even their strength was diminished. Shadows prevailed.

I closed my eyes, waiting…..and then a glimpse of a word. So I decided to write a poem today…..after all.

Sunlight Brings the Morning

Sunlight brings the morning, as the earth awakens

and the depths expand

we stretch

with a sigh of relief breathing

in the peace of the moment

and our confidence

for this new day.

Within the Expanse

20180930_130122

Within the expanse of our time and the light we’ve been given,

we hold in our hearts

the creating of new life.

Each day we can choose, to make a positive impact

on each other.

The Strength of Spirit

Some men know how to rebuke the thunder, pulling down the noise, even silencing the destruction of kings and sovereigns.

And yet they will hold you when you cry, write a poem when you’re blue, simply leaving a line or two. And some men too, know the power of flowers.

It is the strength of spirit, in a sensitive guy……

In Every Victory

20170726_162024

In every victory we’ve been given,

in every bridge

we’ve crossed over

another horizon

opens

allowing us

to see

far beyond

the night.
