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.

Once We’re in Love
Once we’re in love it all makes sense again, doesn’t it?
Our questions light up with answers,
our oceans seek infinity,
and even mud changes
into the soil of the earth,
while storms clouds
are rolled away….
all simply from a smile
from the one
we love.

Restoration
In these times, every heart needs the calm
and beauty of spring,
the rebirth, building our peace
to shape a stronger,
and sustainable hope.
May you be restored each day. Stay healthy!

Forest Meditations
As I entered the trail, lingering March winds pushed the canopy of tree tops one way and the other,
all at the same time, yet I was quickly surrounded by the gentleness of the forest,
a safe place deep in the coolness of the earth.
The wildflowers were blue this time, while the vanity of the woodpecker could be heard
in the distance. And I wondered how far a prayer could travel, certainly beyond the poplar and oak trees…
I understood then, how peace walked this earth, from the very beginning.

Gentleness and Warmth
The spring speaks softly of gentleness and warmth
allowing our hearts
to feel safe again,
as we open ourselves
to her beauty,
in awe
we receive the confidence
to move forward.

In Every Heart Lives a Poem
In every heart lives a poem, from the deep within,
from our spirits formed drifting
searching for the courage
to release the light,
the healing of phrases
making us new, encouraging our sparkle
from the sun.

Quietly We Remember
Quietly we remember November as a month of turning
to that inner life
bringing us closer to the Earth
and each other.

Autumn Flowers
Flowers in any season will fill her heart,
with thoughts of you,
of being young again,
and the first time,
you came knocking at her door…..

Purple
I love when purple makes its final appearance
in the softer sun,
just before autumn flourishes
in the majesty
of golds and reds.

Healing Each Other
When they first met, looking into each other’s eyes,
they recognized the scar tissue deep
in the other’s heart,
yet within the light
of their embrace
they held onto the healing,
actually
they healed each other,
so amazingly.
