Fenced, Walled Dreams

 Is the wall
Between you and your dreams
your hopes,
your potential ...
your God...
... Real?
Or is it …
Imaginary?

Let the leaf fall …
Let the skies reflect …
Let life do its work on me …
Let Love have its’ effect.

When I rest in the water's edge
at the place where the waves lap on the bay ...
My mind is calmed.
My soul is held in sway.

Fire Inside

 May the fire inside …
Keep the gleam in your eye
Keep the vigor in your stroke
or in your stride …
May the last force of it's ember,
... Keep you alive!

Lace of Spring

The water tower,
looms and sings …
As the lace of spring
Delicate with intrigue,
Magnificently clings…

Wilderness of the Wild

 In the wilderness…
Of the wild,
And the flower …
We are invited,
To enjoy the delicacies …
... Of elaborate detail!

Reclaimed

The gold and red lamp
Of my soul burns…
I was reclaimed for glory,
From yesterday’s recycled,
Disabled turns.

Wasting

5/7/2012

 The wasting of the skin…
The wasting, a life,
dim within…
The wasting of time,
Slips easily over the rim…
... The wasting of my life,
Never again.

Home,
Is where everything can come to rest …
And it is all ok.
Home,
Is where we bring our best,
But even if we fail …
Stumble or travail
Home’s Love will prevail.
Home is where my heart is …
May home harmonize,
With where all my values lie.

Shadow

What I fear in shadow …
Is often a heart wrenching beauty,
in reality.
