We are immersed in time,
In space, in life, in Light.
Height by height we climb,
Hoping to get our dreams in sight.
A wheel of endless searching,
Til the turning’s made to cease.
Why waste the journey lurching
To and from each false release?
Why not savor every cycle,
Resting in the peace of now?
Life’s too short to trifle with
Or squander anyhow.

It’s a simple thing,
This wandering
In which we all partake.
We complicate
We hesitate,
And spend it half awake.
But if we pause,
Accept our flaws,
And opt instead for grace,
We’ll mindfully
And kindly see
The gift that is this place.

The greatest gift
At the day’s end
Is when my eyes lift
To see light descend.
As the stars come to view
And the day goes to rest,
I see through and through
How deeply I’m blessed.

Lose yourself in something
Each and every day.
If there is passion hiding,
Free it right away.
Life is but a passing wave
We float on for a time.
So do not for tomorrow save
What now would be sublime.
Hide not your love, your joy, your art;
Do not conceal your gifts or heart.
We are here but for a breath.
Live out loud ere you depart.

If there is no bliss,
If joy is not found,
One’s life is amiss
As misery abounds.
To create and to give,
To love and to share,
To laugh and to live,
To hope and to dare,
All require a breath,
A restorative way.
Quit working to death.
Enjoy your brief stay.

The quiet nights
When time is still,
The stars are bright,
The air is chill.
The love between
A pair of souls
Though it’s unseen
Burns like a coal.
Subtle moments make
Living life a dream.
Live them out awake,
Aware with eyes agleam.

You are a source of Light,
A beacon shining bright.
You may not know,
It may not show,
But others you ignite.
Right and stay your course,
Provide a loving source,
That all may see
You finally
As a world-healing force.
Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!
The beats of each heart
Provide us the bass,
The rhythm beneath
The song of this place.
Our footsteps, our claps,
Our chatter, our noise,
The treble, perhaps,
That our music employs.
Some broken, some healing,
Some numb, or some well
All add to the feeling;
The stories we tell
With the way that we live,
How we choose to be,
Are the parts that we give
To the world’s melody.
Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!

Many days I vacillate
Between despair and hopefulness.
The bitterness and vile hate,
The love and many ways we bless.
I sometimes wish for only one,
That all our finest work be done.
Yet for Good to make her mark
There also must be temptation.

If my poetry moves you or speaks to your condition, please consider giving a gift of any amount!
When you feel you’ve nothing left,
Feeling pillaged and bereft;
When to your soul, you’re weighted down,
Hammered deep beneath the ground;
When your eyes can see no light,
And every limb has lost its fight;
When all your joints and bones object,
Your muscles every move reject;
When life no longer seems so sweet,
And every effort brings defeat,
Remember, try and try to see
That Love can fuel you endlessly.
