In the flowers of autumn, we can be delivered
as they ignite
a spark
deep within us
breaking open our stone
as a smile
reaches gently,
across our face.

As Our Eyes are Filled with Hope
Even in our deepest valleys, our canyons marked
with the bluest of grey
comes a light, a dawning really,
that our lives are more than battles,
and that the beauty
of our rivers will carry us,
into oceans of singing
as our eyes
are filled
with hope.

On Eagle’s Wings
A poem is a prayer, sent on eagle’s wings
to encourage
and strengthen us.
And our words will lift us
carrying
our spirits, above and beyond.

In the Heart of Our Poetry
In the heart of our poetry, there is a light worth keeping,
a piece of the sun
to strengthen and encourage.

The Strength of Encouragement
Once our wings are established,
nature will call us higher
with poetry lifting hearts
bringing the strength
of encouragement
to each other.

Visions We’ve Not Yet Seen
In the breaking of the night, in the victory
of the light, a gift
to be given
when we are strong again,
stories we’ve not yet carried
visions we’ve not yet seen,
poems waiting
to lift us all – once again.

Angel Talk
What would an angel say, visiting you in the middle of the night,
in the trenches of your devastation?
Would she put her arm around you, drying
your tears? Nah, she would probably say, “Get your boots on hon,
strap on your shield, and grab a hold of that sword
you know so well.”
“And stop staring at the javelins
in your chest.”
“Let’s get your fight on hon,
it’s time now,
for you and I to slay
some dragons.”
