Early awakening on a Sunday Morning

Dreamscapes flit through my mind as I lay in my favorite position snuggling with  pillows all around me and I feel the coolness of the air as the fan above me circles lazily I hear a bird or two, and the whooshing of the fan and feel the grosser needs of my body command my attention…

Journey

Clinging to threads of Faith left over from a better time Knowing that something different is possible having lived it before Finding my way through shadows of experience Each old one a lesson Each new one an opportunity to become the higher self and live free once more

Blank Page

I face the page, blank, staring daring words to jump from my pen but the emotions that drive inspiration are as flat as that lined canvas. Even the gray clouds that seemingly match my mood have more texture and depth than the doldrums of my heart. That stupid page stares back, mocking laughing at my…

In Good Company

A bit of ambience graces my senses whilst waiting for the conversation that will reveal my desires and fears A confidante who knows my most intimate thoughts as though they were his own reminding me that I am not alone in my struggles, nor in my triumphs so I can breathe in a fresh gulp…

Words of Wisdom

Incomparable You… What would you say to me tonight as I ruminate on the words of an old prayer “accept the things I cannot change” … For even as I found the courage to face what I thought I could not, and found the wisdom to keep most of my words light ~ like your…

Remembering

I remember your huge smile Each nuance of your body The feel of your hair Your smell All of those conversations that lasted until we fell asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning All of the natural wonders we found in our own backyard And each of the treasures we found off the beaten…

Petals of Perspective

A multitude of vignettes bloom  Opening before me as petals of arose Freeing transient perspectives To light on my mind and heart As the kiss of a butterfly carrying the seeds To fertilize a mind offering it’s nectar To be fed upon for it’s wisdom. That I should be so blessed for the vision To…

Coffee House

Late summer dawn punctuated By hints of nostalgic promises of fall breezes And steamy cups of coffee and imagination All around are noises of cooperation In preparation for the day A bright Hallelujah to the Creator Drawn from the hearts to the narrative of activity Prayers for another day of bounty and companionship To stave…

Work in Progress

Sometimes a poem can take years to develop… sometimes they never do.  Left unfinished… Differences found within detail and inference Where the conceptual meets the spiritual Creating a lyrical medium to disrupt the tedium So your heart wants to linger on what your mind can’t put it’s finger on Because the distractions lie in the…
