walking – Rivers Renewed

Walk in the Forest

Walk in the forest and you will find the place within you that knows the way,

the place where courage is carried within

and answers can be given,

from knowing

the right questions.

Walking through the Light of the Forest

The veil taken away that day, a thin layered curtain removed, as I walked through

the light of the forest. With peace speaking

I was able to recognize

the beauty within.

In the Dawn Over the Lake

In the dawn over the lake, crows break the silence with their morning gossip,

as the steel grey slowly releases

the blue,

and the green of the shoreline.

I take another breath,

copying the dawn releasing

the worries of this world.

Spring bringing freedom.

This is not fiction, or even a poem. I fell today and I fell hard while walking in the park. I was on the ground for quite awhile. I’m in a lot of pain, even while typing this with my good arm. I will get to your messages eventually, and will only able to share previous work for a few days.

Thanks for reading.

Peace out.

I Was Even Able to Whisper

20160514_120002

The darkness and coolness of the deep forest called to me today,

with streams and a river unending, my spirit went quiet,

listening to the bees and one stubborn woodpecker.

A tree stump became my chair as I was surrounded by the comfort of leaves….

I was even able to whisper,

a simple prayer.

A Walk in the Sun

An amazing thing happened to me today.

As I was walking, the sun was shining,

the wind was blowing,

dandelions

were popping up everywhere

in the deep deep green,

and cherry blossums

appeared out of nowhere.

Then suddenly…..

a smile appeared

on my face!

Can you believe it?

Note: Keep fighting and stay healthy!

Grey Sky Blue Sky

The sky was grey this morning, and I couldn’t find the words anywhere,

until I took the weight off my shoulders,

lifted a prayer

and stopped trying to save the world.

Then my grey sky turned blue,

words landed, took shape

and I could even write a poem

or two.

Lifted to the Sky

20190719_151540

As I walk along the beach, sensing the rhythm of the waves,

the depth of the horizon,

and the brightness of the sun,

I allow peace

to free my being

until

I am lifted

to the sky…..

Butterflies Dance in the Forest

20170628_151344

Butterflies dance in the forest, discovering the leaves

while the buzzing from a honey bee flies over,

but it’s the deer that discovers me first,

expecting her to run,

I whisper blessings,

with her heart at peace again

she bends down to feed.

The Words I’ve Been Carrying

20180707_161124

I turn towards the light, spinning some words, singing a phrase

expecting the revelation, instead water falls on me

but I am cleansed mostly

fig leaves never hiding me

or the words I’ve been carrying for so long,

waiting to write. So I begin again….

We all have a story.
