Poetry

deeper into the heart's song of praise
worship enveloped his wholeness
as he emptied his thoughts, set down his burdens
deeper into the mysteries of the Spirit's presence
songs' words chosen by the alchemy of synchronous wavelets
divine tapestry woven, worn in glory, woven some more ...

River of Love
Flow through us all
Destroy every dam
Tear down every wall
Waves of pure Light
Flow through us all ...

Let it flow
Humble child of God
Let it grow
Living tree of Love
In the perfect stillness
Between the beats ...

Joy is found again
In the beating of a heart
And in its stillness

Tongues of fire
Rain down from the heavens
Sanctified in grace
Granted perfect healing
Beams of light
Flow from each heart ...

Praising Your name
With each dawning day
All that I do
And all that I say
Receive me, dear Lord
And cleanse me anew ...

Divine heavenly light
Shine on us now
Teach us to worship
Come, show us how
God of all glory
We praise Your great name ...

I want you to know...
You have stolen my heart
I melt in your presence
I am enlivened in your smile
You move my soul to sing
I want you to know... ...

Gracious and giving
Our God without limit
Immeasurably great
Provides all we need
With goodness and mercy
He clothes and He feeds us ...

Her depth stretches onward
Seemingly forever
Further than my eye can see
Beyond the far horizon
Before me, she is alive
Gently washing over the sands ...

All of my burdens
I offer to You
Praise and thanksgiving
In all that I do
Your love and affection
Is all I desire ...

Released from the chains
That burdened my heart
Gift of Your freedom
A new and fresh start
Walking each day
With Your hand in mine ...

Lost in the world’s fears
Sorrows, miseries, pain
Cloudy, dark moments
Days of chilling rain
Confused and wandering child
Harsh burdens, more than a few ...

Flowing memories continue
As the cold autumn breezes blow
Warm summer love
Changing patterns of the moving seasons
Colors, full and vibrant
Trees change in the coming winds ...

Between each atom
Particles of thought exist
Manifesting life

Suffering through trials
We walk in grace each day
Changed by our chains
Finding freedom in the Way
God’s power is enough
To heal or unbind all ...

The brackish odor of moonlight
Steamed up from the depths
Pond of unmet wonders
Lost in a moment’s death
Wonder of tomorrow
She gasped in expectation ...

rhythm of twelve drums
shining the beats through the haze
awareness flowing

endless waves of bliss
eternal depth of the sea
timeless ebb and flow

sun peeks through treetops
washing away the darkness
light heals the weary

excited atoms
attracted, collide and dance
immutable laws

people of the sun
left the darkness long ago
choose to join their ranks

dive into the flow
perfect and timeless moment
birds' song, blowing breeze

grace of forgiveness
knowing yesterday is past
residing in now

Quiet walk on the subtle deer path
Shaded by the ancient giants
Gazing deeply into the silence
Starting anew on the contrite journey
Fears dissipate on the rays
Through the small holes in the covering ...

mysteries foretold
in the song of a cricket
pause to hear him speak

Ebbing
Flowing
Peaceful arrivals
Glorious awareness
She is timeless and alive
Endless depth ...

birds live in sweet peace
never think of yesterday
but sing today's song

bitter memories
better horizons
in the mind’s unrealized truth
anger rising from the midst of lies
dishonest mysteries stay silent
opening hearts to sights unseen ...

thought it was a storm
passion’s gentleness misread
your fiery eyes

much faith and courage
both expended and received
gifts of forgiveness

Faithfully walk
In love, persevere
Granted great grace
and freedom from fear
Alive, we now are
Through goodness and truth ...

I forget the trials, the misfortunes,
the difficulties, but, I remember
love, and, I remember lovely.
I forget the rain, the snow,
the winds, and,
I remember lovely. ...

Each star in the sky
Has unique knowledge to tell
Beauty in the dark

Manifesting worlds
Paper to pen, mind to hand
Power of writing

Your love flows as the river
Strength in the healing waters
Your power fills our hearts
Comforts our very souls
Your grace is ever present
Perfect gift of Freedom’s hand ...

In a moment’s birth
As the river bends and flows
Choices move fate’s hand

You are statuesque as you stand there
Before me, a humble and undeserving soul
Dazzling, brilliant, with strong eyes aflame
In you, a woman who makes my life whole
In my mind, I question the feelings I
Feel as I look deeply into your open eyes ...

Out of the lost silent mysteries of the universal truths,
There spring all the answers to all the questions asked,
To be caught and known and felt by those who choose,
To open their hands and minds and souls and hearts.
One mind is connected to the wholeness of the truth;
All minds are one in this sacred and pervasive knowledge; ...

Fluttering, twittering, flowing, floating
Butterfly rides on the breezes of change
Giggling, laughing, living, enjoying
She watches from the tall green grass
Breezes, butterflies, flowers, life
Nature’s wondrous gifts for the girl to see ...

Anger's recurring arrival
Day after sweet fateful day
Tugging at the binding ropes
Lost along the fearful way
Misery's redawning sunrise
Lessons learned as two ...

The diner was open late that night
Waitress welcomed us with delight
Surprised were we to see such a sight
As a monkey, brown, with splotches, white
The monkey danced and chattered with glee
He ran on all fours, then two, then three ...

A blank sheet of music
The song at your command
Lyrics, notes, and chords
Chosen by your hand
Write your heart’s own song
Stand and dance your dance ...
