Only a thin veil remains My Love, as the sun brings warmth in the morning,
a curtain of light covering over our summer dreams,
only to reveal yellow roses in the garden,
where you and I are refreshed
by the crisp, cool air.

In the quiet I am stronger, my mind wandering in the sunlight dancing, through the leaves
wanting to go deeper, solitude leads me and I am made whole,
by the gentleness and the beauty
of autumn.
The wind sings
in the leaves again.

I’m not sure when it was that I could see clearly for the first time. Yet the mountains showed me so well of how I was formed, my spirit taking shape. I began on this earth reaching up,
my hand almost touching. I wanted to touch the clouds. There were wings back then, but my brother and sister hawks were not made yet. It was later I was given a physical body.
It’s amazing what you can see…. in the mountains.

In the refreshing of autumn’s glory, he found he could write again,
a poem began forming,
turning, quickly blending
with his heartsong.

Simple words gently spoken, will begin the wholeness we so desperately need
even those dark passages
we thought would never heal,
will melt away
in the presence
of love.

The wind called me outside today,
the rain
falling through the trees
dripping off the leaves,
refreshing me.

A softer heart knows the way, believing in peace
and tangible signs
that we really can,
each one
make a difference in this world.

To overcome the bullies in your life, those who ridicule your trauma…..first you need to survive,
in learning how to heal, holding onto who you are, believing in the unseen
and then moving forward, always forward.
You are always so much more than your circumstances.

Speak to me of your peace and I will share with you from my heart,
speak to me of your heart and I will share with you,
the fragrance
of eternity.

The Earth still rejoices in her children who walk softly,
hopeful,
willing to let go
lifting,
their prayers
to the sky.
