In the Winter Dawn

In the winter dawn, God speaks as the snow begins to fall,

and my spirit moves beyond words,

realizing I needed this moment,

this rest

as sunlight

restores the sparkle.

In the Softness

It snowed again last night, and in the softness,

in the silence covering the Earth

I found a peaceful place

that special space, of the heart

in which poetry dwells,

living, even shaping us

as we become

part of the cold blue light.

As the Dawn Breaks

Slowly, as the dawn breaks through our broken night

do we accept the vision

or do we flee

like a blackbird

escaping the light?

What I Love About Spring

Warm days, cool nights

sleeping with the window open

just a little

listening to the birds sing,

as the sun rises

and the forest

calls me, invites me

to explore.

In the Morning

There are so many sacred moments when we first wake up My Love,

my first glimpse of your smile, your hand reaching,

gently touching my head, deep love

but silent, as we breathe in each other’s face.

And then there is the sunrise,

and knowing

we are loved.
