A Dawning of Peace

No Comments

From the depths of our longing souls
We cling to the sometimes dim hope
Of the gift of the Love
That heals

Peace for all the world
Beginning with a giving heart
Giving to another in openness
Stands waiting
For just one
To give to just
One other

It all starts in an instant
With the grace of surrender
Releasing fears, lack, dim illusory seekings
In just an instant
A gift
Given another

All one in holy hope
Infinite string of dominoes
Waiting for just a little nudge
A little gift
Of kindness

We (too often) wait
For the visions and feelings
Of love
To see and feel and give
Love

One gives to another
Another to yet one more
The chain reagent
One outrageous soul
Giving, without need
And peace
Dawns…

Warm Thoughts

No Comments

Warm thoughts of great bliss
Flow through our veins
In joy and great faith
This love ever remains

Trusting in the place
The Universe touches hearts
Begin with a healing thought
Where all creation starts

Release the nagging fears
Let peace begin right now
Trust in our salvation
God will show us how

Learning to love my Lavender Lady

From the first conversations
Strong winds blew my soul
Soothing this tired desert
Your kindness made me whole

Passionately surrendered
Through a waterfall of tears
You’re the one I so long prayed for
Days and months and years

Met you in my dreamless nights
Watched you from Creation’s view
Coming together, connecting, one
Beautiful union, precious and new

Distance made the days seem long
Storms and sorrows and fears to lose
Leaving burdens in the Cradle of Hope
In passion and peace, emotions confuse

But time and distance made us strong
Weathering winds and rains and fog
Learning the lessons while holding hands
Touch the turtle and smile at the frog

Seeking God in each new day
Sought His will, together we prayed
We lived in Light, in Gratitude’s way
Careful not to stay dismayed

Give and take, through push and pull
Chose to live and enjoy and laugh
Images and words shared as we walked
Poems and love notes and a tall giraffe

Living life each day with you
In days of rain, bright sun, or shady
Growing stronger as two and one
Learning to love my Lavender Lady

Fears, Resentments, Doubts

No Comments

Fear, resentments, doubts
Loss of perfect peace
Come closer to God’s glory
As each of these release

Fear is insecurity
Believing lack exists
In the presence of divinity
These concepts can’t persist

Resentments flow from anger
Compassion’s nagging foe
Give until the anger leaves
And let more blessings flow

Doubts are weakened faith
Strengthened in sadness and woe
Filled with hope, they falter
And love is all we know

Draw near to God’s great glory
Give much with all you are
Be hopeful in renewing faith
From peace, you’ll not be far

Inspired by REMOVING RESENTMENTS, an article by Al Turtle.

Tears

No Comments

From the depths of my soul
Stream of life flows free
Tears of my surrender
Washing over me

Healing waters of life
Fears and pain release
Tears of my surrender
Deliverers of peace

Tears of my surrender
Carrying sorrow and strife
God’s grace from within
Renewing light and life
