The gentle radiance of soft petals, reflecting
the light of the sun
give us so much courage,
so much hope,
that darkness is defeated
every single time.

Darkness Defeated
Pink and green, defeat darkness
every single time,
always have,
always will,
aren’t you glad
God made flowers?

The Colors Will Speak to Us
Within our survival, our wordflow can shift and change,
leaving us with a thin layer of grey,
yet the colors will speak to us….
calling forth that ancient mystery,
of poets pulling down inspiration,
from the sky.
Hope brightens
with the morning sun.

Happy Mother’s Day
This year perhaps more than any other, we need to honor and thank our Mothers.
Thanking them for who they are, and how much they mean to us. She not only carried you in her body,
but in most cases she has loved you as only a Mother could. She has carried you, in her heart.
You will always be her child.
And this year there are even more Moms out there as warriors, fighting a pandemic, many on the frontlines,
trying to provide for their families, some without benefits, many without the wealth, or luxury to stay at home
behind a computer. Make sure you thank them for their service including…
the grocery and retail store workers. And there are so many more…..Maybe give them some flowers if you can find some.
Happy Mothers Day everyone!
And thank you to all the Moms. We are all in this together!

An Iris or Two
Today an Iris instead of a virus, the beauty of nature bringing healing to our hearts and minds.
And the only thing better than an Iris, is more than one.

Note: I find my work being alot more simple lately. Maybe sometimes poetry is too complicated.
When Spring Speaks
Within the brutality of shadows and empty streets
spring speaks, becoming our balm,
encouraging us
lifting us,
and reminding us
of who we truly are,
that we are one of many
beautiful faces,
in the sun.

Quietly Spoken
The most beautiful words I have ever heard,
have been quietly spoken,
a softness of spirit
gentle whispers,
making all the difference…..
creating
a powerful beauty.

As the Flowers Speak to Us
In the quiet of solitude will we grow stronger?
Will heaven open peace to us?
Let us walk towards
the reconnecting,
as the flowers speak to us
of new life,
encouraging.

Spring Liturgy
As the rain turns to a drizzle, an unexpected liturgy evolves,
with each petal,
of each flower singing
opening with a chorus
to the brightness of the sun.
Springtime so green.

The First Flowers
A partial rebuke of the winter wind,
brings the warmer air
exposing the first flowers,
unashamed to embrace
a brighter sun.
