One of my favorite things to do is to build a fire
and watch the stars. I do this as often as I can and each time,
I am amazed by the magnitude of the Universe, humbled by my insignificance, but one warm Spring night, I realized the Universe
would not be the same without me, without any of us. We are each,
vital to this dynamic force called life, spokes in an ever-turning wheel, connected at the center of the Universe.
Cosmic Crones
Alone
beneath
umbrella of lilacs,
moonbeams
I meditate
contemplate
how infinitesimal
we are.
While
entranced
by nature's symphony
a revelation
women
are the essence of life
guardians of the Universe,
spirit of heaven and earth,
yesterday
today
always...
Celestial Courtesan
Summer stars,
like a desperate lover
embrace me tightly each night,
touch places
I never knew existed,
turn oblivion to light.
I, faithful
hostage to the Universe
never endeavor escape...
"First Draft"
Energy
created from inspiration
words, vibrations
await choreography
an affair to celebrate,
a stage to shamelessly dance...
Shades of Blue
I’m partial to indigo,
plant cerulean bouquets
clusters of sky-blue
Periwinkle and Sage
Forget-me-nots Blue Bells
Delphinium, Lupine.
I’m partial to indigo
and garlands of green.
Impressions of Spring
When Spring arrives and all is new,
sweet daffodils rise in the dew,
my Winter blues all disappear.
My troubles seem so far and few.
When lilacs that I love so dear
begin to blossom one more year,
the spectacle is quite divine
with symphony of songbirds near.
No matter whether rain or shine
I’m thankful for God’s great design,
for every rainbow I behold
reveals a masterpiece divine.
Each season can be much extolled
but Spring is full of treasures bold.
Within it hope and life unfold,
within it hope and life unfold…
In His Hands
When we feel like we are at the end of our rope,
when we don't see the light and we give up hope,
it's then that the Lord reaches down, lifts us high,
and gives us the strength to help us get by.
With faith in our hearts and God’s love we know,
all things are possible, for he told us so.
