Ecstasy’s Gate

No Comments

Brilliant morning, new and fresh
Blessings flow to they that wait
Patiently walking through calm and storm
Take this path; don’t hesitate

Infinite grace is here for you
I’ve set the table; please don’t be late
Let nothing stop your destined trek
Release your worries; let fear abate

Raise your sights and dry your eyes
The time is come to claim your fate
Come sit with me and sing a song
I’m waiting here at ecstasy’s gate

Breath of love, Dance of life

I need to feel the flavor of your eyes
as they gaze deeply into mine
I long to know your heart’s great depth
as we dance the day away

My love explores, explodes and grows
while thanking God above
Angels sing a newfound song
as adoration’s flower blooms

You set my soul ablaze in light
fill me with great joy
As love begins it’s destined trek
the dance of life with you

wilderness trek

far from the noise
uncivilized journey
rain is falling again
leaves above shield us

exotic flowers
fragrance grows with the rain
sweet honey to the nose
breathing deep

rest for a moment
hear the drops of rain
drip drip dripping in rhythm
a thousand tiny drums

just beyond view
movement in the branches
birds snakes squirrels
allowing us to share

drenched now
refreshing waters from an unseen sky
all is dim
under the ancient trees

thoughts slow
moving at the pace
of the ageless growing titans
friends with the squirrel

remembering
a place very deep within
with the tree, from the tree, of the tree
journey through the mind of the forest

Flight Horizon

No Comments

Just around the next bend
Home finds a new home
New wings of a new angel
New smiles of a new friend

Greatness is on the horizon
End of the rainbow, Start of time
Children smile brighter today
Hearts are lightened, moments divine

I know you can feel it
Unmistakable anticipatory touch
Messengers are everwhere
Electricity fills the air

Today is love’s dawning
Mercy, forgiveness, wings bourne
We will very soon remember
What we knew as we were born

The instant is upon us
Spread your wings and fly
Join me in the trek to light
Hearts one, Minds quiet, flight divine

Nourished in the Kindness of Love

Walking through the small borough today, life bustled all around…
Passersby nodded, children laughed, the hum of life buzzed on…
And then, suddenly, there was silence ….

Life continued its trek all around me, but I was at rest….
And all that remained in my world was the grass that surrounded me ….
It waved in the wind without a sound…
I had been transfixed, in my spirit … to a place of leisure ….

And the birds sang a song of silence …
And the sound of the wings of the butterflies was muffled ….
And all that i heard was the beating of my heart ….
And the breath across my lips ….

An eternity passed in an instant ….
And I was transfixed again ….
To the edge of the pond whose ripples always ripple ….
And in the center of the ripples, he lazily surfaced ….

My friend, as constant as the ripples, had returned ….
I remembered for a time the lessons of that spring …
My friend, the frog, had shown me so much …
And a tear welled in my eye, as I felt the joy of this new moment …

And then I listened …
And he spoke …
Not with words, but with the expression in his eyes …
His countenance touched my heart ….

And this is what I heard ….

‘The time for leisure is now ….
Each moment is an opportunity for miracles …
But the miracles only arrive …
When we choose to be still ….

And the stillness is a choice ….
The simplicity of being ….
Which overshadows the chaos …
With its brilliant beams of life ….

Find leisure, my young friend ….
Find peace in your heart …
So that your light may touch the spirits you meet …
Be well, smile, rest ….

Be nourished in the kindness of love.’

And as I was returned to the borough ….
And I felt the bustle of life around me ….
I smiled knowingly at a fellow traveler …
and with a subtle nod …
She smiled back at me.
