As the sun sets, after the storm
something similar to hope
can be born,
a tangible presence
in the winter sky.

In Every New Beginning
In every new beginning there is always the hope of being filled
with brighter rays of sunlight,
as we reach out
with our hearts
because we believe in love
even when our glimpse is yet distant,
we expect that we really can overcome
every obstacle,
conquer every fear
through finding, living in
the end of the horizon.
Looking back we can see,
the journey was truly
the victory
after all.
Have a wonderful, creative, dreams fulfilled 2019!

Survivors
As I look out over the ocean I do see some dreams just beyond the horizon,
and yet within the storm the reality speaks
we are not always stronger,
all of us, each one of us
are somehow survivors, even
if we don’t know how we got here.
Perhaps the sun on the surface will at least place a smile on our face,
and the sand beneath our feet surging the power of the Earth into us
so that we are able to face the tides once again
with the pushing and pulling
against us,
we continue forward anyway.

Yet Within Our Scars
Lying and fear often make difficult lovers
and even worse neighbors,
preferring themselves instead
of another,
so we pull back
our tenderness don’t we?
At least until we feel safe again
we pretend not to care.
Yet within our scars
builds a determination
or something
vaguely seeming to be hope,
so we press forward again,
straight into the wind
and then
we go vote.
Note: Please remember to vote on November 6th. We need to each do our part to help stop the madness, and strife.

A Blessing for 2018
May you be inspired each new day of the coming year,
seeing past the mist of the unknown, instead focusing on stars
and rivers, and flowers in the fields.
And may you be so filled with light
that you cannot help but be a positive influence
on others. May you have good health,
and everything you need.
Walk strong, walk with confidence
and have a wonderful New Year!
Happy New Year everyone!

In Our Spirit Wings
In our spirit wings, we often carry our poems and prayers,
turning them boldly into horizons,
launching our words with heart slings
far beyond the blue,
strengthening our weakness
and confirming
our humanity.
