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.

I’m so thankful for the way spring fills us,
the way God intended
making us alive again,
lifting us, strengthening our hearts,
moving us forward.
Yes, I’m so thankful for spring, and for you my readers. You’re wonderful! Thank you also for your patience as we practice self-care. I know it should be easy to do, but it’s not.
When I practice self-care I have to put things aside. Which means I’ve been here less often than I would like to be. This is new for me. I sign on less often and post less often.
Please remember that I don’t blog with my phone! Thank you for your patience as I answer your messages. I’m very grateful for your comments.
Thank you so much for reading!

Hope speaks to our hearts in the strength of spring,
the Earth healing the soil,
our spirits lifted
as we embrace the sun.

Encouragement spoke to me today
in the blue winter sky,
in the calm silence
of the pine trees
confident now,
I actually know
that storms do not last.

When the snow geese return My Love,
it’ll mean the lake is unfrozen,
and we can walk the trail
with a hopeful sun
brushing our faces
our hands joined
and our hearts
filled
with that young fire,
we’ve always known.

Looking into the winter sky brings a quiet to my mind,
a softer peace to my spirit, while my wordflow
increases, within rivers
of strength.

When the heart speaks of the need for quiet and rest,
are we listening
do we see peace,
as a strength?

We can always walk stronger letting go of our worries,
each released
drifting,
in the wind,
or the snow.

Winter sun melting, thawing our most inner solid ice
hopeful,
letting go
our hearts unfrozen and delivered,
walking strong,
will always make a better lover
open and free,
will make us a better friend
with beautiful honesty.
Walk tall today in your internal freedom.

There are times we struggle, seeking to understand
the reasons
why,
when what we truly need
is to find within
the peace
we have already been given,
and the strength
that goes beyond our selves.
