A blissful silence
Waits inside us,
Speaking life
Into our strife.
A sacred space,
An inner place
To which we flee
When urgently
We need to hear
A word of cheer.

Power in the Light
There is power in the Light
In the Night
Out of sight.
With an open heart we might
See it right,
Shining bright.
Whether fallen from the heights
Or filled quite
Up with delight,
We can see and put to flight
All our fright
Our petty spite.

Immersed in Time
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.

No Bliss
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.

I’m Okay
I can’t convey
The subtle way
The Spirit guides me every day.
Through child’s play
Or quiet rays
Of sunshine dripping down in May,
Whether gray
Or bright and gay,
That gentle voice is here to stay
And
I’m
Okay.

The Simple
The simple frees us.
We can rest from future fears.
We can love what is.

Hidden Peace
Not from books or songs or sights;
Not from incense, candlelight;
Not from vain, invented words;
Not by pistol, bomb, or sword;
Not from wealth or mansions tall;
No external thing at all
Can grant us lasting peace inside;
Inside’s where hidden peace abides.
Thank you for Reading! Be Blessed!
What Foundation
What gives you Life in times of strife?
Where is comfort found when trials abound
And enemies are gathered ’round?
What foundation brings consolation
And helps you stand against temptation?
Seek it. Find it. Know it. Mind it.
To your hand and forehead bind it.
Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!
Your Way Inside
What is your Center,
Your Sacred place?
How do you enter
Such special space?
Do you write or paint or draw?
Affix your gloves and clench your jaw?
Move your feet to song and beat
Or pound the pavement on your street?
Is silence where you find the door,
Just sit and breathe and nothing more?
How do you find
Your way inside
Your peace of mind
Where Soul abides?
Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!
Naught Else
I can be
Naught else but “Me.”
I long to see
A day when we
Can all be free,
And desperately,
And happily,
Pursue with glee
Serenity.
Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!
