A softer breath with a quiet step, as I move through the morning forest,
the brutality of winter removed
I now listen
to the new life born,
the rebirth of the earth
recovering.

In peace we run stronger – how is your peaceflow today?
is your spirit flowing in a good direction,
have you held close
the promise of the sky?

The space between our scars was always meant
to open up the light…..
into our darkened fragments,
never to leave us alone
wondering.
It was always light bending
to make us whole.

Note: Influenced by Rumi but the poem is mine.
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 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.

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!

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.

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.

Note: Keep fighting and stay healthy.
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 November as a month of turning
to that inner life
bringing us closer to the Earth
and each other.
