Ancient Skies

Peace Stands Tall

Peace stands tall in the autumn forest,

while the wind shakes prayers loose

from the leaves,

and sunlight

warms my face again.

Sunlight Gently Brushes the Leaves

Peaceflow moves silently through our beings

as sunlight gently brushes the leaves,

affirming who we are,

yet calming our minds,

refreshing our spirits

and restoring,

our vision.

Seeking the Peace

On that day, answers remained without their questions defined,

so I ascended into the sky, seeking the peace

that surpasses all understanding,

it was my spirit that knew,

more than my mind,

it was always my spirit…..

so I ignored the early

and the latter storms

until my wholeness was completed….

it wasn’t easy though,

is it ever really easy?

A Brighter Future

As I was walking yesterday a neighbor came out of her house, with her hands in the air yelling, “We have a new president!” I said yes we do!

And she walked around her front yard, yelling, praying, crying, all at the same time with eyes closed, saying, “Oh my God!”, Oh my God!”

And I began to realize how deep the scars have been over the past four years. And my friends, it hasn’t been one side just arguing with…

the other side and the result is the fighting going back and forth. No.

It has been the far right enabling a president’s lies, racism, denying climate change, attacking Dr. Fauci, a lack of coronavirus response,

and so many other wrongs, and the other side trying to stop it. Trying to protect our democracy, protect our people. Yet I can see a much brighter future now….

a future where we can actually be neighbors again. Suddenly I can hear Dr. Martin Luther King’s voice say, “I have a dream today….” “I have a dream.”

May it be so. May we declare freedom from the mountain tops.

Blue Softly Whispering

Words sifting, shaping, even ascending

through my heart

from the gentle depths,

of blue softly whispering

from a day of rest,

spirit expanding,

stretching forth

as if it was new.

Note: I’ve made some space on the site, but it’s a temporary fix.

Keep America Beautiful

Chinese-Americans are such a beautiful people aren’t they? And I love the African American side of my family,

and how we all make up such a beautiful fabric of our America. And the first people,

the Native Americans/First Nations giving us wings yet reminding us how hate can be deadly.

I’m glad we are strong in our diversity instead of some extremist far right concept, flirting

with white supremacy. And among their great sins comes the undermining of our election, sewing doubt.

This is what dictators do, so that they can declare it all invalid when they lose.

Stop the far right extremists, stop the lies, stop the brutality and insanity.

Keep America beautiful,

diverse….

and free.

VOTE.

Tree in the Twilight

Tree in the twilight brings peace to my soul,

as night begins her embrace

a tangible deliverance,

from the worries of the day,

darkness comforting.

I’m able to see more clearly now,

the breath of the mountains,

and stillness returning.

Snowflakes Decorate the Dawn

Poems often whisper from the echoes of our heart,

as the wind moves me,

snowflakes decorate the dawn.

Poetry Still Lives

Black and white holding down the page, gleaming

sharing the hope and faith,

that words can still heal,

that in each of our hearts,

poetry still lives,

and we will survive.

From the Writer’s Den

As I sit at my desk I notice the leaves are still changing, into bright gold, even yellow, and especially red. This is such an amazing season.

And I’m so thankful to all of my readers! If you’ve known me for awhile you know that I love writing. I’ve been blogging for years. Did you know I have 2,814 posts here?

That’s alot of writing! For awhile I was posting twice a day. Did you know I used to write fiction?

One of my favorite series was “Colors of the Night Sky” The main female character had colors running through her, including purple all through her hair, pulsing.

Anyway, I have maxed out on this sight, meaning I have no storage left. I cannot load any new photos, and that’s no fun!

So I have some decisions to make. Do I upgrade or start a new blog that looks completely different?

Ironically I have been wanting to make some big changes here, including a new theme and look.

I’m at the place of say….. a person deciding to either renovate my current home, or move on to a new one.

I’ll keep you posted.

Thank you again for reading!

I wish you peace.
