Restoring and renewing our rivers through poetry and wordflow.

Within the Heart

The simple yet sacred truth living

within the heart of a tulip

is that love still lingers,

and flows within our beings

carrying us

far beyond the darkest ruins

of our world,

of our lives

until we are refreshed,

it has always been this way.

When Hope Springs

When hope springs from our well within,

peace speaks to our inner most being

bringing a stronger flow,

and poetry

not from this world.

Words taking Shape in the Woods

I discovered words rotate better, taking shape in the woods,

as if leaves in sunlight coax, syllabic meaning

and the canopy sways with phrases

these earth songs fill us

so we can see so much better

who we are,

and where our poems

lay hidden.

Wildflowers

In her dreams she spoke of wildflowers,

I kissed her cheek

pulled up the blanket

covering her,

as the sunrise reached

our window.

Peace Follows Me

As I walk a narrow path, peace often follows me,

even in my imperfections

I can still be grateful,

for the stillness

in my spirit.

Early Morning Snowfall

Counting our wounds seldom brings the deliverance,

yet the silence

and quiet

of an early morning snowfall

will go deep within us,

falling

in that sacred space

of healing.

Peace on Earth

Peace on Earth,

goodwill to towards all people,

all people.

Wishing you peace today.

Finding Myself

When I lose myself in the maple trees, I find myself

looking up, beyond what I know

beyond what I can see,

and for a brief moment

I am spirit,

reaching

into the sky.

In the Gentle Wind

Wholeness moves in the gentle wind of the autumn woods, clearing my mind

setting my heart free,

from the debris of this world

filling me,

with a positive vision

awakening

my spirit again.

Night Wind

In the night wind I begin to sense the peaceflow,

whispers

of quiet moments,

bringing a stillness

to my heart.
