renewal – Rivers Renewed

Early Summer

I hid my heart in the fragrance of early summer

never looking any further,

because I was stunned

by her offering of healing,

I stood

while wholeness in the wind

enfolded me.

The Wind I Know

The wind I know never leaves this Earth, moving

teaching the mighty oaks to bend, or caressing

the most gentle of all flowers, once

I saw the mountain wind make a man cry,

with his prayers carried throughout the Earth

his broken heart beginning to mend

the wind announced his need in Singapore

and rain fell washing him,

the wind can do all that,

have you seen the wind move?

When Spring Speaks to Us

When spring speaks to us in the bursting of oak leaves,

or in the hyacinth boldly expressing who she is,

it has always been to lift us, so that we in turn

can lift up others. The Earth returns

quite frankly to save us, to restore

hope in our hearts.

Wholeness

Life from the earth once frozen reinforces we are loved,

yet I wonder, isn’t there redemption

in each season? a way

for us to discover who

we really are, and

who we were always

meant to be, to find

that place, that space of the heart

that speaks

of wholeness

that we’ve always dreamed about,

and have always needed.

The Beauty of Spring

The beauty of spring not only lives in our flowers

but in the hearts of us, so taken by rebirth

in awe of everything made,

including ourselves

in our amazing place, our space

on this earth

made alive again.

Thankful for Spring

I’m so thankful for the way spring fills us,

the way God intended

making us alive again,

lifting us, strengthening our hearts,

moving us forward.

Yes, I’m so thankful for spring, and for you my readers. You’re wonderful! Thank you also for your patience as we practice self-care. I know it should be easy to do, but it’s not.

When I practice self-care I have to put things aside. Which means I’ve been here less often than I would like to be. This is new for me. I sign on less often and post less often.

Please remember that I don’t blog with my phone! Thank you for your patience as I answer your messages. I’m very grateful for your comments.

Thank you so much for reading!

Softer Still

Softer and softer still, the sun caresses

the Earth awake,

gently probing the soil,

releasing our flowers to begin again

our growth, in the wonder

and beauty

of spring.

Visions Replacing Shadows

In the healing of the mountains a lone eagle gave me courage,

suddenly being able to see now, with visions

replacing shadows

canyons were no longer dark places

and the sky,

we love the freedom of the sky

don’t we?

was so much closer,

I felt I could almost

touch the center

of where

I wanted to be.

P.S. Due to having some health issues I need share some previous work for a few days.

In the Winter Rain

In the grey dawn, winter rain descending

I hope for warmer days,

of enjoying the rain

of watching the Earth,

cleanse herself of despair

where sunbeams break the sky,

bringing new life,

a time of Heart Songs ascending

and clouds holding onto

our prayers.

When the Heart Speaks

When the heart speaks of the need for quiet and rest,

are we listening

do we see peace,

as a strength?
