Prayer of Light and Peace

No Comments

Father God,

Fill us with the desire to grow strong
But also with the recognition
That all strength is from You
And feed our desire

Love is flowing from Your hand
Through the hearts of Your children
It pervades and permeates all that is
All that was and all that will be

Grant us the grace to forgive
Let us not seek to be made whole
Wholeness comes only from You
Forgiveness opens anew our hearts

All the gifts in store for us
Set loose this brave new day
Open our eyes to see, our hands to receive
From You all good gifts flow forever

Give to us the peace of clarity
We seek to know Your face
Shield our eyes from humanity’s noise
Take us into Your presence

And as we become bathed in Your peace
Let us shine that peace on the world
You have created us to love You
Guide us to this perfect fate

Strengthen, too, our acceptance
Remind us that all is as You have designed
Teach us in the way of calm compassion
Let us help to still the pond of existence

Teach us to sing Your wondrous praises
Fill us with Your grand and quiet love
Grant us the mind of pure Light
That we might shine through Your children

Lead us, Father, to a heart of graciousness
Fill us with a perfect sense of acceptance
Flood us in Your forever divine love
Let us enjoy the peace of Your heart

Amen

An Act of Kindness

No Comments

An act of gentle kindness
Touches a warrior’s core
Soothing spring rains
Covering, drenching, pure

Melting the strong walls
That kept him always secure
Piercing with life’s loveliness
Tapping on a heart’s door

Seeking the greater gifts
Always desiring more
Yet, ever frequent wonders
Are small, subtle and demure

Drifting in the gentle way
Current, strong and sure
Soaking in the beauty
Find your breeze and soar

An act of gentle kindness
From a deepening store
Reflected in the eyes
Love’s ever present cure

two eyes, one view

No Comments

two eyes
two visions
merging
separating
perceptions
sensory cues
images stored
retrieved from the mind’s eye
echoes of yesterday
ripples into tomorrow
touching today
meeting in an instant
can one eye perceive depth?
can two eyes not project?
memories of a distant view
perceptions of a moment new
seen by one or two
undertake the next coup
intermingled
thoughts, visions, feelings, beliefs
coupled with another’s
creating a new reality
ride the new waves
curtail the resistance
recognize the new reality
built on a word
and a look
and a dream
in an instant
here and now
hear and know
see and renew
be and believe
trust and perceive
in a moment conceive
and all is well
here in this space in time
where two meet
and join
as one

after the rain

after the day’s rains
bloom is given fresh sunshine
strength of love restored

Restart

No Comments

Lark cries out in the distance
Wind gently touches my skin
Feeling the warmth of the sun
Love flows again from within

Breathing a sigh of relief
Touched by God’s holy fire
Restore the me that was lost
Fill me, dear Lord, with desire

Restart a heart that was stopped
Return to me angels’ bright sound
Awaken this child from the dream
Delivered to where I am found
