As I sat by the lake today, a prism of light reflecting
I wondered how water could hold
so much calm within us, for us,
filling our very core
giving us a sense
of wholeness.
And somehow the water….
becomes part of us.
Meditation.

In the spaces between snowflakes, winter’s breath unfolded,
reminding us of prayers breathed,
from our wilder moments,
when we actually did
have some faith,
when snow covered mountains
held us,
and God spoke healing,
in the whispers
of the wind.

Rivers run deep within the poet’s heart
reaching out,
reaching in
writing down,
the wordflow unseen.

Peace flows gently in the humble heart,
creating a beauty
never seen before.
Run deep.

I have alot of new readers lately and many of you are international, so I just wanted to say, welcome to my blog!
I’m so glad you’re here! Unless you’re a bully. No bullies allowed!
I have more than 2,600 posts here, mostly I write poetry now. I do write some minifiction.
I love combining the ideas of nature, spirit, wholeness, healing, and how words can encourage us.
Hope is one of my biggest themes! Here is a small sample of the way I write:
Winter peace speaks to me,
within my spirit
in the silence
of the falling snow.
Welcome to Ancient Skies!

Hope runs strong in the heart broken,
yet searching the horizon,
believing in the healing
with a measure of success,
plundering
the kingdom of despair.

Waves roll with white tops cresting,
tossed by the wind
and as I stand on the shore
I realize the real battle
is within each of us
and peace is our strength,
so tangible.
