(2014)
Thoughts about pain.
Life is not fair at times... But of course things Change quickly down the line, We are born into a No guarantee world.
Holiday cheer and laughter, Multicolored lights blink faster, Music of love and good will, Grace the air like snowflakes. Tis the season to be compassionate…
When I sit And watch The in and out Of breath, Thoughts no longer
If we could embrace our sorrow and surf on our tears, surely our hearts would grow wider to hold the years
Old friends walking on the beach, the waves bring in, memories, of carefree days;
Birds flying here and there, landing on branches to chirp and bare, their heart. A private club among the trees with their own private code.
Brown hawk with spotted tail, soaring on the wind, balancing like a sail. Your piercing cry
Some days you’re in bliss, Some days you’re in pain. Some days you’re up in the clouds, Some days you’re down in the flame… Some days you get what you want
Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
Unable to be all things For all people, Perhaps at one time, I tried. Those days are
Harsh reality smacks like a slap of cold wind. Sometimes I’m a tough sailor, at the helm,
As I age this last quarter of my life, I am fading into the background. As I let go of roles,
The dance of fear, Of not being enough, Stops and starts. The unknown, an Uncharted sea,
What is the happiest moment of the… When I make someone laugh When I am of use for the good When I show kindness When I hold a hand
Life is a day dream So they say, With every beat Of my heart, The gate to love
