The trees sway or stand
Depending upon the wind.
Adapting to Now.

Grasp, Give
What connection you can share,
What relationship and care,
All the kinship you can bear,
Grasp it, Give it, Everywhere.

Subside
Winter sun shines bright.
Flood waters always subside.
Force always costs Time.

Returned
I’ve returned to what I’ve always known.
In many ways, I find I’ve grown.
Yet as I enter from the Wild,
In faith, I find I’m still a child.
I do not think that I am cursed,
For as in faith I’m re-immersed,
I learn of Heaven’s joys once more.
And find the Home I’m looking for.
Cell
Knowing all I used to be,
How could I possibly love me?
Thorny branches grip my heart
And pierce me when I try to start
To give love to the parts of me
I hope no one will ever see.
Yet only if I face the pain
Will its hard grip begin to wane.
I will break free from their sharp hold
And heal my scarring from of old.
We all have our thorny cell,
That keeps us trapped inside our hell.
But all of us possess the key
That breaks our bonds and sets us free.
The key is that we self-forgive.
For in this life that we all live,
There’s no one who won’t make mistakes,
And we’ll keep on long as it takes
To learn our lessons and to grow.
That’s the reason, don’t you know,
For every failure and misdeed
To teach each person what they need.
Brief
Moment by moment,
One brief second at a time,
So one should live life.
Take Time
Don’t fear to rest.
This is a test
When the world commands that you contest.
No time to sleep
Reward to reap
You must go out and earn your keep.
Yet with this grind
You’ll often find
The hardest working are still behind.
Don’t waste today
To you I say
Take time to “be.” It is okay.
Keep It Simple, Keep It Kind
Simplicity of belief
Brings much needed relief.
When the details cause you grief,
It’s often best to keep it brief.
Let your faith be kind.
May it engage your heart and mind.
May it also help you find
The universal Way that winds
Through every person, every soul,
No definition or control.
Just the unassuming goal
Of making all into one
Loving
Whole.
