The Earth awakens, embracing the freshly fallen snow,
a sense of quiet
holding our poems
and prayers.

The Earth Awakens
Tag: quiet
The Quiet Spirit
The quiet spirit carries a sense of oceans running within,
unlimited beauty
yet peaceful and confident,
expecting even stronger poems
hidden within,
the restoration
and rest.

Walking Into the Light
Peace finds me leaving the shadows of summer,
walking into the light
of autumn hopeful,
listening to the leaves
with my spirit breathing again,
acknowleding
the colors
God created.
A quiet spirit.

The Silence of Trees
Faded eagle dreams and faded jeans, combing grey hair, boots laced and a light weight camera,
the trails call, moving my spirit beyond crows, rejecting dark wings…I become the silence of trees, and wildflowers holding bees,
where light flickers through the canopy, I seek to know, as anyone could know, the Lord God,
like I did as a young man….
in a place that peace
calls home….

August’s Forest
The comforting dark of August’s forest made it easy to slip
through to the world unseen,
and I was spirit, as if in a dream,
not of false rainbows but of peace,
an amazing depth
I had never known before,
where silence takes us
beyond bravery
as light flickers
through the trees.

A Sense of Wholeness
In our heart of hearts, far beyond any wounded love,
rooted still deep within us
we already know the song,
the shape of melodies flowing,
and the peace, the quiet
that carries us into
a sense
of wholeness.

Who We Truly Are
More than simply softer flesh, the human heart holding
who we truly are,
a healing balm walking,
even our spirits
within our frames
will know the answers
deep within……this……
is our peace.

The Trees Become Silent Now
As the autumn quietly abandons the forest,
slipping through the brush
whispering,
the trees become silent now
occasionally entertaining
a ghost
or a few lost leaves.

A Silence Surrounding
Our scars sifted through the falling snow
creating
a more tangible breath,
a pause within
a silence surrounding
as we learn the power
the strength
of letting go.

Peace in the Snow
When winter begins his slow descent
with a low growl through the trees
with a howl in the wind,
we will rebuke him sharply
releasing peace in the snow,
and quiet in our hearts.
Shunning any notion
of an apocalypse.
