Hope seems distant in the shadows of fear,
yet living within us
is the power
to believe again.

Love is Still a Fountain
Even after all these years, she still responds
when I touch her face,
drawing closer
brushing her cheek.
Even after all she’s been through,
love is still a fountain
bringing us
to life.

In the Whispers of the Wind
In the spaces between snowflakes, winter’s breath unfolded,
reminding us of prayers breathed,
from our wilder moments,
when we actually did
have some faith,
when snow covered mountains
held us,
and God spoke healing,
in the whispers
of the wind.

Reaching for the Wholeness
Hurting yet hopeful, eyes wet with tears
we take our first step,
leaving the shredded behind us
reaching, moving forward
towards the healing
the wholeness
of who we used to be.
It takes courage, doesn’t it?
We all go through terrible times. I would encourage you to take the first step, which may include a doctor or counselor.
And nature is a wonderful healer. Sometimes a walk in the park can be the beginning.
And always remember…….you are loved.

Writers II
As writers we see with our eyes, our hearts,
our spirits even
dismantling prejudice
we have visions of wings
sensing the value
of each and every person,
and then……
a new day dawns
so we write it all down.

Peace Refrains
Peace refrains from embracing us
when we walk away,
too afraid
to respond…

Light Streaming
In our resistance against darkness
we find light streaming
into our hearts and lives,
and often
a poem or two
floating freely.
