Silver threads of the lake at dawn,
with whispers of deliverance
to awaken,
to transform the grey
to a startling blue,
and the beginning
of birdsong.

Restoration
In these times, every heart needs the calm
and beauty of spring,
the rebirth, building our peace
to shape a stronger,
and sustainable hope.
May you be restored each day. Stay healthy!

The Shaping of a Sacred Space
I do remember the bending of light,
the shaping
of a sacred space
and within my quiet
I knew, I really did know
where I fit,
where I belonged
between
the earth and sky.

In the Gentle Strength
In the gentle strength, descending within the rain
the quiet within
draws me closer,
into the stillness,
of my spirit.

River Meditation
Sparrow song filled the air
as he sat under the willow tree,
he closed his eyes
and listened,
to the river flow.

Peace Within Refreshing Us
Within peace, our spirits grow still, and yet
stronger,
the quiet within
refreshing us.
When you leave comments on my site I always respond with peace.
I not only want our world to be a more beautiful place, but I offer peace to each person
as a way of blessing. It’s a hope really, in some ways a prayer. That internally
we all will have a sense of wholeness, and well being.
That’s what the word Shalom means, and I suspect it’s something similar with Salaam.
Peace everyone, may we all be at peace….within.

Solitude
I may not get to the mountain top today,
or walk in the tall grass
but I can surround myself
with the woods, seeking light,
or walk by the lake,
pause on a rock watching
the ducks gently paddle,
as I close my eyes,
breathing deep.

Note: I like many of you, feel a need to have an inner quiet, a time to reassess and pull back.
I know I always work too hard, post too often. And everytime I say I’m taking a break, it doesn’t happen for long. It’s who I am I guess.
One way I have made time though, is by sharing from my archives. So I’ll do that for awhile, and post less often.
My priorities are to take care of my wife, and my own health.
I’ll also be spending even more time outside (yay!), learning more yoga, exercising, and reading.
I love reading paranormal spy thriller novels, and poetry. My favorite poets right now are Rupi Kaur and Courtney Peppernell.
Thank you for reading!
Winter Peace
Peace within the gentleness of snow,
fills us as intended
covering our scars,
guiding us
with a new light sparkling
from sunlight.

Peace Flow
Peace is not only the ceasing of conflict and war
but the quieting of our spirits,
bringing wholeness
and creativity
flowing strong.
