Thank you and many blessings to all on this Mothers Day …
Mothers Day
1
Love becomes us
Wasn’t it a cold morning
The wind between the tress
Its fingers pulling at the heart
Knowing time was waiting behind
Not so far away doors
What seeds were planted there
Alive with natures unspoken needs
Where quiet stilled the storm
Of what had come into the light
Are whirlwinds the prairie’s fate
Lesser than the shadows cast
By sunset winds into their heart
Imagination blooms and sets
Behind the jealous moon she waits
For all the words unwritten
What novels love has bled to ink
Feelings cast before the turning
Hewn of wooden spokes to circle
Longing for the road to bend
Into another soul filled dream
Medicine Woman
From the edge
of eternity
she steps
into your dreams
unfolding the truth
with her words
breath on her lips
of days still
remembered
melting like ice
holding the years
lost in time
smokey blue mountains
bow to the seas
as softly green meadows
are rising
beneath a golden sun
and silvered nights
of moon glow
steeped in this loving
voice of forever
the feathered songs reveal
her Eden of colors
reflecting on water
flowing forever
into our hearts
Merry Christmas 2023

Peace on Earth, good will toward all …
Desert Rose
Dry desert dust mixes
into the breath of life
carries
ancestral remains
across oceans of air
as their waters poured
rushing
revealing lost worlds
in streams now run dry
hurried
into valleys to linger
as a gathering of souls
waiting
for the moon
and coming ebb tide
Across the Sea
In the looking glass of time
are there unseen oceans
waves rolling between us
washing away love
born in our hearts
melted in a briny deep
where light never goes
and creatures
in darkness
devour each other
without hesitation
feasting on flesh
living there and dying
without ever knowing
their life is meant for love
reaching ever upward
toward the home
it left to find
Hearts Listening
There is a time
between twilight and dawn
more than halfway
to the light
where everything
merges into one
duality blends for a moment
where we see truly
all things together
as a great silence
in the cacophony of being
felt more than heard
by the heart
reaching
to the sky
Awakening
There is a borderland
somewhere beyond time and space
Angels bask in the light
the reflection of all we have seen
Dreaming they love our life
lilting, wondering at our colors
our always wandering thoughts
Yet would they give up heaven
to know the truth
Believing what faith
has forgotten
Lighthouse windows
Resting on the shores
Rivers call eternity
Flowing toward home

Beach glass
How often the tears Change the color of days Fill the dark night with windswept fears This sleep without knowing leaves truth undiscovered hearts beating and breathless cajoling the words from delicate ivory keys sung in measures of madness Was joy left to fade as dew drops disappearing in the sun Or beach glass washed in waves on the shore without reason The ways we will wait knowing what not to believe Opening gateways to dreams of always forever the space we have come to in shadows longing for twilight
