In the warmth and softness of the April sky,
clouds gently move sometimes
covering the sun
as shadows descend
covering the cherry trees,
but only for a moment.

Prayers from the Earth
In the soft blue of a winter morning, the wind shifts
and snowflakes fall quietly, from tree branches.
Honoring the peace, I breathe in prayers
from the earth, a most ancient ritual
of healing the spirit.

The Stillness of Trees
A closer walk within the wind, discovering the pre-dawn of winter
where prayers guide us through
the stillness of trees
gifting our spirits
with a sense of quiet,
a stronger muscle,
and lungs unafraid to breathe
through all our questions.
It is winter
and our boldness will see us through.

Sending Light Deep Within
We often live within the memory of the oceans, don’t we?
with every silent dream,
all our whispered prayers
as the water draws us
even farther along
allowing our spirits to stretch out
over the sparkling water
under the expanse
sending light deep within
who we always were,
yet with a new revelation.
Sea water.

Hope Ascending
Hope ascending, as we consider
poems and prayers
and sunlight
glistening
in the clouds.

The Wings of Our Spirit
Since we are no longer held by the darkness that covers
our poems can fly now
within our prayers,
released finally
towards the sun
from the wings
of our spirit.

Strengthened by the Peace
Memories of quiet moments drift within our depths,
whispering within our spirits,
until we draw a deeper breath,
hopeful
and strengthened by the peace
we so very much long for.
