Poetry

bursting forth
river of tears
heart cannot hold
love that i feel
perceived reality
contained in a song ...

Jubilation flows, joy ripples, love grows
Essence of being is set free on new wings
and we see all true things
Beat of God fills this mind tonight
(for Christi)

precious moment
we learned to play
breathing in life
living in the day
flowing thoughts
melting dreams ...

the place of the next
is the plane of purest love
step lively my children
minds high in clouds above

and the world and i are one ...
and the world and you are one ...
and you and i are one ...
and so ...
to the other i am all
to the all i am other ...

heart feels
moment of grace
instant of change
fiery embrace
oneness of all
allness of one ...

water flows to love's highest height
four winds breathe down the slope
moment shines with glorious light
the people sing a song of hope
glorious beauty, valley divine
promises rise in fragrant new bloom ...

Stillness in the afternoon
Is all my heart doth seek
Refreshing breezes from the One
Please end my woeful sleep
In You, all hope and might is found
Dear God, please hear my plea ...

hawks fly, rabbits hop, trees grow
it is their nature
likewise
friends cry, lovers die, hopes flow
it is our nature
thus ...

wilting petals
fell to the ground
once glowing with hope
now join the earth

sun will shine again
after the streams flow
as in shores passed
distant memories
fuzzy in my mind
will clear ...

fair weather ends
as do new friends
sadness washes in
replacing the din
real friendships grow
when stormy nights flow

sleeping under wings
of a strong mother hawk
i am not afraid

The smile on my face
is only because of you
Innocence of youth
(for Alex)

i'm sorry for the pain i caused you
i hope you will continue to deepen
the relationship with your heart
that lied in sleep for a time
while you learned to cope
by smothering the tears ...

open a little window
in the wall you've built so tall
let my hope shine through
together we're not so small

[chorus]
Wondrous feeling
Beauteous way
We sing our new song
To You, this new day
In You, we rejoice ...

let's find some inspiration
look deep within our soul
share the flame that floods
clarity of light is whole
answers from the center
seeking moments, sane ...

i breathe.
i feel the air as it flows across my lips.
i choose to feed my lungs with this gift that surrounds.
and i am satisfied.
oxygen flows.
my hunger for it subsides for a time. ...

dim fog this morning
din of a thousand thoughts
fear rose with me again
far from creation's love
seeking all the answers
to questions not yet posed ...

Daisies in the morning sun,
Bring forth new wide smiles.
Hope expands my bright fresh heart;
Dawning day, blooming start.
I wonder, could she be the one?
Interest, intrigue, poems born. ...

dancing with a seagull
i am a wave of wind
i lift him ever higher
he rises on my breath
he gives me reason
we move and swirl and sway ...

When we've flown with eagles
Climbed to the highest peak
Heard the songs of angels
Cried tears of joy as One
How do we go back and walk?
Where do we find the next thrill? ...

Rising in the morning
Felt the rays of sun
Thoughts of newness born
Peace comes from the one
Falling to my knees
I said a word of thanks ...

Angels cry out, glorious song
Restoring hope that once was gone
Overwhelming sounds of love
Connecting all to source above
A child stands alone in the dark
Lost the light that leads the way ...

dreaming of the days
skating on the clouds
sweet flutes' aroma
muses' song is sown
misty drops surround us
drenching moisture, divine ...

rose in the morning
calming fragrance pervades
awakened by your aura
gentle spirit grows
feeling of light fills
brilliant hues flow forth ...

stuck in the dream
lost in the moment
encircling the ring
finding love again
dreamt of the day
that we would be one ...

riding on the waves of wind
vibration's ripple closing in
finds its way to ears that hear
song of hope from birds above
gently caressing song of hope
light's rays seek, follow, lead ...

the joy of life
is all i see
when loving thoughts
are all that we
allow our eyes
to see ...

warm sun above shimmers through the rippling tide
warm eyes through the glass glisten as your glance falls on me
warm waves of blissful delight as we drift soundlessly
warm feelings rise as we look toward the shore
overwhelmed by the art, brilliant colors of the deep
life moves, swims, turns, with the tide, then against ...

i let myself love today
loosed a couple of tears
streaming from my fingers
river of light that flows
i let myself fly today
dreamed a couple of years ...

simple presence, simple gifts
clearing haze, focusing gaze
mirror of your perfect love
light of angels, white above
i bared my heart, shared my soul
friend, accept the trust i give ...

i met you in a dream
created you with a thought
i long to sleep again
joined in the blissful night

perception, mirrors, reflections, thoughts, reality
if time is relative
and all is good in the end
and the end is but separated to now by time
then all is good now

i believe that the cup i hold is real
if i fill it, that belief will be full
and if i drink from it, empty it, that faith will be even fuller
i want faith to empty me
and then i will not be
only ...

one
seeking
aloneness
yet, here i am
today, as before
looking for another ...

When I was a child, I lived for the day
Longed for a place for my heart to stay
Alone in my shell, I pushed you away
Rushing for answers, no time to play
My mind flows now with waters clear
Seeing perfect spirit of friends held dear ...

Desiring to connect to you
But I don't know who you are
Met you by the pond
Beauty took my breath away
Held your hand in mine
Dreamed of your embrace ...

the softest petal of the freshest rose
sweetest breeze that spring first shows
waves of bliss, flood my heart
when thoughts of you inspire my art

flautist blows with a breath of smiles
inhaling sweet bouquets of bliss
fluttering wings, stirring warm breeze
thoughts of dew, fresh morning in you
she walks in gentle fields of grass
hears the song, drifting slowly past ...

be free?
thee see
be me?
we be
nine signs
fine lines ...

light of the morning
breaks forth in a song
call of the robin
sunrise born anew
hope is refreshed
with each cleansing breath ...
