Choose a timid smile
Releasing hidden hopes
Sharing a heart’s slim beat
Grasp at love’s retreat
Dive into an instant
Where free-falling sorrows mete
The boundaries of today
Melding in the fray
Why not risk it all…
For the chance at even more?
Brave the song’s bright call
The words on tomorrow’s door
Lost in metered colors
Surrendered to the fall
Be the you that beckons
Hear the song’s bright call
Shocking revelations
Queries forever unspoken
Wonders unaddressed
In the redress of yesterday’s today
Unforsaken platitudes
Unformed seeds of colored thoughts
Malformed impressions
Manifest on the untrodden path
Darkened by the lengthening shadows
Quiet epiphanies
Seeking the vacuum of quiet reflections
Ripples on the pond of eternity
Disturbing the unrealized moment
Of a thought disallowed
A dream disavowed
A quest abandoned
In the blinking moment
Of doubt
From the deepest of depths
Where you and I are one
There calls out a spirit
Together with your son
Jesus, my salvation
Fill my heart with you
Friend and constant teacher
In everything we do
Present in my life
Consistent source of all
Standing in your love
Answering your call
Union of power and peace
Reveal your face to me
Precious and perfect brother
Hear today my plea
In you, all troubles fall
With you, all life is grand
Renew my love in you, Lord
Together, forever we’ll stand
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
Sun shines bright this new morn,
Illuminating the small creatures’ awakening.
Winter’s time of sleep will soon cease;
Spring touches the trees’ buds,
Invites the songbirds’ return.
Breezes, small and subtle, move us,
As we bow before the ebbs of seasons’ tides.
There is a peace unimaginable;
It rides the Light that touches all observers,
As we walk the beautiful path of life before us.
Yesterday’s chilling winds of change,
Tested our resolve and faith in today’s fate.
Today we journey again joined as one.
The Universe’s gifts arrayed before us in splendor,
We raise our eyes to the sun,
Dance in the warming spring breeze;
We are here and now in peaceful joy,
Rejoicing in the great Love that is our birthright.
