rebirth – Rivers Renewed

So You Can Heal and Grow

When our wordflow comes from that jagged edge

we will not be able to bloom

the way we’d hope to,

so allow the light,

to dance

to move within you,

rolling through

open,

so you can heal

and grow.

Hope Speaks

Hope speaks to our hearts in the strength of spring,

the Earth healing the soil,

our spirits lifted

as we embrace the sun.

Visions Replacing Shadows

In the healing of the mountains a lone eagle gave me courage,

suddenly being able to see now, with visions

replacing shadows

canyons were no longer dark places

and the sky,

we love the freedom of the sky

don’t we?

was so much closer,

I felt I could almost

touch the center

of where

I wanted to be.

P.S. Due to having some health issues I need share some previous work for a few days.

In the Colors of Sunset

On days of wholeness, unhindered poems roll through me like waves of the sea

following the rhythm of the moon

just arriving, in the colors

of sunset.

Raindrops Tumble

Raindrops tumble through layers of new leaves,

as birdsong from hidden branches,

makes it’s way ascending,

as if the heavens needed a few more hymns

to celebrate

the new life of spring.

Breathing Life Back into Us

Our peaceflow will restore our sense of who we are,

breathing life back into us,

bringing back visions

of who we want to be,

rebirthing in our spirits,

what we once called…..hope,

strengthening us

within.

Note: I’m observing a day of rest starting late this afternoon, for about a day or so. Peace.

Wings Unbroken

20170628_135215

Even behind our masks, we carry those wings unbroken

of hope lifting,

of untarnished strength,

and even if they should get damaged

they always grow back again.

Ain’t that amazing?

Happy Easter, Happy Passover

20180428_172027 Today millions of Christians around the world will be celebrating Easter, the resurrection of Christ.

It is a season of new life. If you keep this day, may God bless you and fill you with faith and goodness.

And my Jewish friends are celebrating Passover. It is a time of remembering their freedom from slavery.

The term “Passover” comes from the night the angel of death “passed over” the people, sparing their lives. Did you know that?

I have a number of faiths represented here and I’m very glad you’re here!

By the way the cherry blossoms and tulips are in full bloom, and the earth is bursting with spring.

Peace to each one and great blessings.

Born of Our Heartsong

20190915_155510

In our essence deep within, our spirit moves, shifts

our vision of who we are,

as we search for the healing

and acceptance

we have always longed for.

Wordflow begins,

something of a poem,

something of a prayer

or are they the same?

And we see poems begin,

born of our heartsong.

Survival

I was surprised when you produced such a clean set of daggars, even after I told you I was hurting……

but you didn’t care, even thinking it was funny, and yes your death blows were devastating……

but each one cracking, opening up a space for light, to seep through and slowly…..

I could see more clearly. Yes I died every day, but eventually I figured out how to pull my shape back together quickly……..

the fragments, the frozen pieces, and I began refusing your kingdom of abandonment and strangulation……

and I walked away, never running, because to be honest, I’m not scared of you anymore.

Note: I’m fine, and my wife and I are fine. We all go through tragedies of some type, dont we? These feelings are expressing pieces of what it feels like……to survive.
