Defensiveness in me ...
prevents personal growth ...
Defensiveness in me ...
obstructs intimacy...
... I want to be
a place where beauty is ...
I want to be a
place where there is room
for someone else to flourish.
I want to be a conduit to nourish.

Universal Campaign,
for heart transplantations...
Some, many people's lives,
are so difficult,
... they can hardly breathe ...
due to emotional trauma
that far exceeds their physicial pain ...
... Walk into tomorrow with grace.
Think of handing out gifts of fabric and lace ...
rather than stones and malice.

Often, what appears jagged …
What we are afraid of …
Becomes nothing, with time …
As mold on crust …
As a strong rain washes pools of metal,
... Into rust …
And falls away,
Cast to the dust.
Invest in what frees your soul …
What carves solace into your heart’s bowl…
Who gives Love, ever and lasting hold.

The mountains call …
They call on us all …
To reach for the heights …
To pray and live …
With all our might …
To strive at length and best …
To weigh in, stretching for the crest …
To know and be known,
In the Birthplace of rest ….

Cast light...
radiate peace...
belong to,
loving ...
Edging into flow ...
There is something,
Edging to express …
But my words,
... They flounder and are amiss…
I desire to be flow …
To stretch and cast my arms,
As if to form a bridge …
There is so much life to live ...
I have so much love to give ...
I have so much light to shed...
There is no more time
to dump ice on someone's head...
May I let criticism be uttered ...
only from someone else's lips.

I think everyone crosses our path, for a reason ...
for their impact on our lives.
There is a pathway,
In the synapses
of my mind …
There is a step
in the viscera
... Of my life.
There is a place
on the surround of my porch
That only you,
Have brought an enlightening torch.
