  • 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

  • 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.

  • lx

    Age is relative, so I’ve heard them say.
Them, you know, the people over 60.
Joining the Them ranks, I say
Age is relevant only if you choose
To let it define you, which is why
I choose to define 60: it’s way
Younger than it was when I was 30.

  • simply love

    Though there isn’t anything
simple about it anymore,
I choose to simply love
and that brings back
the times when true
love was simple.

  • sweet embrace

    with each year's passing
I feel a lessening
a sense of smallness
that seeps into the silence
of the coming new year
I can see it
tiptoeing quietly
across the dew covered
landscape as if being
painted by a master
it slips into the morning
sun as the new year rises
and greets me like a worn
friend it has yet to meet
and embrace with hope
for with each year's passing
though I am not shrinking away
the opportunities in the world
grow much larger
and more complex
so I stand with my face
to the risen year
and step brazenly
into that sweet embrace
that waits for me
