Moments
Serene, flowing, colorful
Brighten
A lone soul
Walking
Quiet destined hues
Subtle waves
Rhythmic, relentless, forever
Soothing, disquieting
Arriving, departing, touching
A lone soul
Quiet destined song
Cool breezes
Change, move, immerse
Flood the senses
Warm
A lone soul
Feeling
Quiet destiny met
Head, heart, joining
Thoughts unique, colliding
As waves relentless
Oceans vast
Greet
A lone soul
Ebbing chaos, flowing quiet
Passion, peace
One
Empowered to choose
A life bound
Or a life
Not
The tall oak
Basks in the sun
Flows with breeze and strong wind alike
Deeply rooted
Ever nourished
Led by the quiet urge
The mother robin
Knows when the time is come
To push her offspring
Into the waiting skies
Earth, instinct, choice
None exclusive
Coexist
These thoughts, she ponders
In the quiet room
That holds her captive
Unwilling to break free
Bound still
By fear
Outside her closed window
A black butterly floats by
She’s free on the breeze
Alive in the rhythm
Of the gift
Of life
The young bird has flown
The oak still stands
The butterfly finds a bloom
Life, in freedom
Passes her by
…and he spoke with the authority of the elders from his perch on the branch of the ancient oak…
Exposing good and bad
Revealing all you are
Old and knowing love
From the furthest starAsk and you are offered
Love that feeds the land
Ready hearts receive it
So open up your handGive respect and honor
Truth and faith and trust
Tongue speaks only kindness
Hold it if you mustWalk the sacred walk
Spread your wings and fly
Soar among the eagles
Let love lift you highGive the love you seek
Be patient ever more
No more need for knocking
So, open now the door
And with that he took to the brightening sky…
winter winds blow the seeds
scatter them over the lands
until they find a new home
and set down new roots
spring rains cover the ground
water the newly rooted seed
sun shines longer each day
seeds grow ever stronger
sprouts push through the ground
warmed by the lengthening days
seedlings reach for the light
of a sun that shines eternal
and as the birds and squirrels look on
flower blooms this day
gives the world new colors
fragrance to ease the walk of life
