Felicitous Reward


I witness the mirror cracking around me
Thinking I had finally arrived to only see
It shatter and dissolve before my eyes

My journey isn’t over yet
It may be the moment in time to move on
There is always more to be explored

Continuously standing in my own way
The necessity to just move aside
Permitting the fires of passion to move in

Life isn’t a business to be managed
It should be a mystery to be lived
Giving elation to the skill of being

By keeping it all together
Making sure everything is perfect
I’ve kept the spontaneous away from my door

Now I must be open to what wants to be expressed through me
The past is no more and the future is not yet
Living only for a felicitous reward

Need To Be


Are you where you need to be
Deep in conversation
Stop, look and listen
Opening the door to
Go, grow and become
Taking a drink in order to
Live, yearn and embrace
Walking Home in
Love, silence and respect
Are you where you need to be
Living life free to always
Overcome, discover and observe

Between Times


It's the between times
That make me weak
Allowing me to forget
The sense of purpose
This all has

There is always
A choice to make
In the between times
To continue on
Or to move in a different direction

It's the between times
That make me question
Values, needs and responses
Like walking away from myself
To turn and head for the door

There is always
Worry in my head
In the between times
To listen to my heart and hold out
Or to accept defeat and fold my hand

It's the between times
That make me wait
Am I not ready for this sort of thing
In the end being left with nothing
But my choices and hurt

There is always
A chance to take
In the between times
To live in the space between
Or venture out into acceptance of just what is

It's the between times
That make my heart sad
Allow my mind to race
Giving me my insecure thoughts
With the fear that nothing will change

Three Decades


I see glimpses of you through the trees
Losing my breathe, heart racing, I approach
How incredible, your beauty, power, wonder
The red, brown, green and grey
A rainbow of earth colors
Stepping to your edge
The depth, width and enormity of it all
Taking deep breathes, stealing my breathe away
Taking my soul too, I let you
Giving me the most beautiful feeling in the world
Like love, all encompassing
Staring into the vastness of it all
Placed here by God
Wonderful, peaceful and astonishing
Tears of beauty
You allowed me to be apart of you, your magic
So large, so small at the same time
A pea in a world of giants
You were like my mother
You held me
And I was saved

Graceful Gratitude


When your heart speaks, listen
If something doesnt serve you, drop it
If there is something to do, do it
Seeing and hearing the truth
Leading out of the desert
Being set free, not accepting mediocrity
Chipping away at all that isn't perfect, just what is
Looking beneath, what appears to be
Fate will bring serendipity

Pray with conviction, not with fear
Going forward with dignity and unassuming grace
Life is an interwoven pattern
All parts working together
Making everything whole
Fully participating in life
The good, bad and incomprehensible

Finding answers in doubt, fear and lack of faith
Not running away from the path
Lead by peace, grace and gratitude
Crying out from the soul, to find that which
Fulfills and rewards
In reality, Perfection is nothing but an idea

In the stillness, hearing answers
Receiving direction and communing with God
Surrendering control, to a higher power
I hear, "Let go and let God."

Sensations of You


I see you
You don’t look as I had thought
But I know that it is you

I hear you
Your sound is unlike any other
But I can hear you

I feel you
Your touch is new to me
But I crave it like never before

I sense you
Your presence is all encompassing
But I am not afraid

I smell you
Your scent is of sweet wine
But I refuse to become intoxicated by it

I admire you
You are amazement and amusement
But I know that you know that
