As the wind moves ripples across the lake,
I dream of days when peace lived,
so I focus
within my heart
on the healing of our world,
as the wind grows stronger
I enjoy the wildness,
of clouds shifting
and birdsong lifting.

After the war, with our minds at rest decompressing
from the shadows of fear,
our oceans will find us again
with the poetry we thought we had lost forever
running, thundering
in our ears,
as the waves roar
in the power
of confidence.

Note: Keep fighting.
As isolation, and a cold rain batter against our windows
threatening take to take our spring away,
threatening our joy
we know our victory
is not far away,
so redeeming the time
we pick up our paper and pen,
turning the pages,
finishing another chapter,
telling the story,
no one else can tell.
Have you written today?

As I sat by the lake today, a prism of light reflecting
I wondered how water could hold
so much calm within us, for us,
filling our very core
giving us a sense
of wholeness.
And somehow the water….
becomes part of us.
Meditation.

To be loved and more, to be accepted…. flows through
the core of our being,
bringing shape to who we are,
who we want to be
and that is why we love the beauty,
the tenderness of flowers,
and how we write poems
from our heartsong.

In our essence deep within, our spirit moves, shifts
our vision of who we are,
as we search for the healing
and acceptance
we have always longed for.
Wordflow begins,
something of a poem,
something of a prayer
or are they the same?
And we see poems begin,
born of our heartsong.

As the willow bends, so too our spirits in the direction of light,
silence is a teacher, planting
stronger seeds.
Yet, we were not born on top of the mountain,
people, it really is people
that infuse
and shape us,
encouraging our identity.
