Our hearts opening in the sunlight,
sacred doors,
gateways of the inner world,
unseen
where light lives,
where our spirits run free
and colors shape shift
our creativity.

Run Deep
Peace flows gently in the humble heart,
creating a beauty
never seen before.
Run deep.

The Richness of the Blue Sky
As the winter sun deepens the richness
of the blue sky,
pine trees bow, honoring
the peace,
the sparkles
of the freshly fallen snow.
And flurries descend,
floating, swirling
in the afterglow.

The Whisper of Winter
This morning the clouds were heavy, hanging low,
I can barely see the mountains now
with snow clouds covering.
A light snow begins falling,
with the Earth waiting,
anticipating
the beauty of silence,
the whisper of winter.
And I smile as I walk,
having gone to the bookstore
just yesterday.

Note: I’m currently reading a paranormal spy thriller, and yesterday I purchased 2 books of poetry and a science fiction novel, which is very thick and will take a long time to read!
Peace is Our Strength
Waves roll with white tops cresting,
tossed by the wind
and as I stand on the shore
I realize the real battle
is within each of us
and peace is our strength,
so tangible.

Winter Peace
Peace within the gentleness of snow,
fills us as intended
covering our scars,
guiding us
with a new light sparkling
from sunlight.

Random Snowflakes
Random snowflakes mix with the rain pounding
on our roof,
dancing off the pavement
as the wind stirs
the pine trees.
I pull back from the window
and I realize
it’s time for my favorite book,
and a cup
of Irish breakfast tea.
