(2013)
Travel on a winter day which can be dangerous but so beautiful at the same time.
Cold spring rain chills my body And yet, the birds fly in unison As if, it is a sunny day. The white tail deer Bounce through the ravine
White heron skidding the blue, grey water, of the bay. How free and easy you make it look,
Red sun in the morning rolling up the side of earth. The sky turned pink, as a ball of fire showed it’s strength,
A path with heart Is full of love Which makes us right Brings in the light And chases the dark.
Orange full moon with a half smile, a hanging lantern, lighting the way, through dark streets,
My heart is a good heart, It beats strongly And works hard, To keep me alive. My mind is a good mind,
Rolling painted deserts of the west. Shrub bushes dot sloping hillsides. Relentless sun heats up
In the bright moments My mind is a flame, Melting obstacles, Gaining gifts of wisdom. In the dark moments
I lay still While my loved one, Sleeps. His warm hand In my hand,
Twilight slides in quietly as birds fly to warm nests. Pink hues of evening reflect in the clouds. Soon the moon
Just a small part of me wants strife to go away, to return to a kinder time. Am I just losing courage? Life is draining me,
When I grow really old I may have to do yoga Full time, to get out The aches and creaks. When I grow really old
Yellow finches Line the bird feeder Against Spring’ s canopy Of green and purple tapestry. Back and forth they go
Blue star behind tree branch. White cloud passing half moon. Black space surrounds like a
As we shared stories, The warm hum of voices heard, A cup of love spilled.
