Touching the Sky

On every mountain we walk through the veil,

with just a glimpse really

of all that was made.

And now we recognize our connection,

having seen it,

having touched the sky

we know for certain

there is more.

Jagged Edges

Within in our spirits a cactus can take root,

jagged edges

roughness unless

we follow the courage

we’ve been given,

to forgive

and move on.

Embracing the Horizon

Embracing the horizon as my spirit is lifted

up and over

the depths

of the ocean.

Downpour

Torrential rains in a downpour

as the wind roars, ripping

through trees,

while dark clouds

cover the mountains,

making them invisible.

And I wonder – does God make storms so we can rest and do some writing?

The Early Morning Light

In the early morning light, leaves speak of peace

and a gentle rain

while a bumble bee hovers

watching me, as if I was intruding.

A chipmunk darts, when a pair of wings opens

and hops from one tree limb to another, hopeful.

“Will you release your prayer?” the crow seems to say,

I realize in the early morning light, of the deep forest…..

it is time.

The Encouragement of Color

Inspired by spring and a new sense of hope,

our wordflow becomes stronger,

lifting us and filling our spirits

with the encouragement

of color.

Heart Rhythym

Oceans do bring me back to a true heart rhythm,

a peace filled depth,

a calm

that speaks

and a language

I can understand.
