peace – Rivers Renewed

The River Drifting into His Spirit

There was some poetry within his deliverance,

as witnessed by the hawk,

but it was mostly the river

bending

drifting

into his spirit,

beyond the oak trees

and dogwoods,

when wholeness snuck up on him.

May Light Shape Our Words

A poem will often carry my spirit into the mountains

where I hover

and pray over the land.

I did get glimpse once

of the healing so elusive

in our world today.

May rays of light continue

to shape our words

into prayers,

into poems

until the scars

vanish away.

The Peace of Spring

When the peace of spring flows through me

I usually wait, and listen

in the quiet place,

in that part of me where I’m open

carrying a sense

of wonder

and awe.

Deer in the Forest

As I lift my camera in the forest, a quiet within me begins to surface

and a deer unthreatened looks my way chewing leaves,

I smile as the deer moves closer, I bow my head to her

in a greeting, do deer smile? our time is short lived…

for when I closed my eyes to lift a prayer,

within a second, she was gone.

Walking in Peace

Walk in peace and you will carry honor with you

walk in strength and courage,

and you will inspire others.

When Pine Trees Hold Our Prayers

When pine trees hold our prayers, peace falls

quietly through the forest

in the whispers,

of snowflakes.

Through the Trees Covered in Snow

My spirit unhindered now, I’m free

drifting through the trees

covered in snow,

closing my eyes

in silent prayer.

Wholeness.

Looking into the Winter Sky

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.

Whispers of Peace

Whispers of peace coming from deep within,

realizing I can just be

who I was always

intended to be.

As the snow falls, on the pine trees

Amen.

In the Quiet of the Snowfall

In the thrill of winter’s breath and the quiet of the snowfall,

I listen for the healing of nature,

the wholeness

of my spirit,

believing both

are not far away.

Motivated, I reach.
