To open and risk hurt... Or stay closed but Never really live. Pain can reveal... A connection to
When you are not here An empty heart full of fear Arises and wonders If I will see you again. What will I do without
Just a small part of me wants strife to go away, to return to a kinder time. Am I just losing courage? Life is draining me,
Unable to be all things For all people, Perhaps at one time, I tried. Those days are
It’s a billion stars moving and co… While we sleep. It’s one miracle after another and… We do not take the leap. It’s the great heave of nature
White heron skidding the blue, grey water, of the bay. How free and easy you make it look,
The misty, night rain, Soaking bare trees, Bringing nourishment. I stand at the window, A steady beat echoes
The red cardinal high in a tree, caught my attention with his melodious chirp on my daily walk.
Time is going by fast, Trying not to live in the past, To keep priorities straight And not falter at the gate. To join the universal goal
Life is but a dream, our fantasies, spill, like liquid tears that pool and vaporize into the air.
In the bright moments My mind is a flame, Melting obstacles, Gaining gifts of wisdom. In the dark moments
I lay still While my loved one, Sleeps. His warm hand In my hand,
At that magical time When the yellow moon Sets, And the pink mist Of dawn,
Squirrels with bushy orange tails leap about the deck. Crickets hum, confused that it’s not dark yet. The caw of a blue jay
As I enter my sixty-third year, Fall leaves grace the path I love, With hues of red, Gold and orange.
