In every victory we’ve been given,
in every bridge
we’ve crossed over
another horizon
opens
allowing us
to see
far beyond
the night.

Peace Makers
The most peaceful people I have ever met
always
care about others,
making our world
a better place.

Poetry….Came to Live
It was the ruins. It had always been the ruins, curving his light, causing the blur….the whirl in his spirit.
He knew he was more though. Perhaps he did have an existence after all.
For him woodland trails were more than a healer, he wandered through half praying, because the woods were his teacher.
Waterfalls spoke, and God sent angels that could sense his scar tissue, providing a balm. He was different somehow.
Sprinkles from heaven began the new, and he was able to see the word structure clearly.
Within the wind and the sun he discovered lines. And poetry….came to live.

The Light Will Draw Us Closer
In this evil day of black shirts, and dictator winds, empowering
even weaponizing storms,
the light will draw us closer
providing strength
and confidence
to even seek the mountains
and rivers once again.

On a Quiet Wooded Trail
Perhaps all we really need is to lose ourselves
on a quiet wooded trail,
lifting our heads to the warm caresses
of the sun on our faces,
to fill our lungs with the air
from blue skies,
to embrace the power
and the beauty
of all that was made.

In the Evening Light
In the evening light, thoughts of a softer night
in deeper, darker blue
revelations bringing
words
to encourage.

Warrior
And in his dream he was a boy again, praying,
in a church with stained glass,
praying to be strong,
to become a warrior
to fight the bullies of this world,
and when he woke up,
searching the ceiling, he said,
“amen…”
as the sun was rising.
