  • between

    In a life’s time
love touches mortal longing
to create being
For the lucky
timeless love moves within
to seed other
Most find one
some experience an other
few know both
For those destined
to feel the pull between
life is love

  • kids in cages

    There are no words,
Heavenly or earthly
That can justify
The inhumanity
We are seeing today.
Pulling the children
From Mother’s arms,
From Father’s care,
To put them in cages
Is not following law.
It’s swallowing justice.
It’s wallowing in racism.
It’s the hollowing out
Of values that separate
Democracy from fascism.
No words can cure
These abhorrent acts.
Only action will work
Against the onslaught
Of our core beliefs.
When will this
Be the last straw
To make us all act
To make us all fight
To make us all vote.

  • beyond

    There is something far beyond
That draws us closer to itself
And further from comfortable.
May you feel today the power of presence,
And experience today the pull of passion
As you walk today the path of peace.
Bring us with you.

  • other

    Eggnog in my coffee
A crisp breeze in the morning air
Leaves falling and my heart brimming
With love for all things
As the sun peeks over the hills
To wake the world to Thanksgiving
This one day to remember
You are who you are
You have all you have
You live the life you live
Because of someone

  • moments

    There are moments when the world stops breathing
A sharp inhale and then silence
And for a few seconds you can hear
You can see
You can smell
You can taste and feel what is supposed to be
I hold my breath with the world in the stillness
I focus my mind on nothing
And everything that I can hear
I can see
I can smell
I can taste and feel what I’m supposed to experience
Then the world takes a breath
And so do I
Richer and wiser
