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

Silver sliver of the moon With the bright star of Venus Trailing behind. Moonbeams casting light On the waves,

Inhale, the arms float up, Exhale, the arms float down, Namaste, at the heart. Inhale, the body bends, Hands at top of mat,

Walking on the beach of long ago, the constant roll of the gulf, it’s sound, like a lullaby.

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.

It is what it is Despite my wishes for it, Otherwise. You are who you are Despite my expectations,

Remember goodness in the fire of e… Remember joy in the center of sorr… Remember love in the flood of hate… Remember courage in the pit of fea… It’s never too late.

Her smile was like gold, Her lines were often bold, Her stories of wisdom told, In books that are now sold. She has left the earth,

If I could go back in time I would fix my wrongs, I would sing new songs And mend all hate And open the gate

Misty fog floating through bare trees. Cold waves of wind coarse through the woods whistling as they go

What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings

The gift of summer Is the sound of a Creek flowing through Rocks. A blue bird perched

Life is a day dream So they say, With every beat Of my heart, The gate to love

Tonight, the wind whistles as it rushes through the atmospher… Winter’s bare limbs of swaying trees, dance in the shadows.

Beneath the bustling, hustling mind, deep inside, there is an oasis of calm.
