Spring celebration!

” It is spring again, the earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.
― Rainer Maria Rilke

I love how spring finds me, and bathes me in light,
awakening my senses
and restoring my sight!

as days grow lighter
and frivolity abounds,
wild flowers pop-up
adorning the grounds.

Dark days become echoes
quickly forgotten,
butterflies waft
while bees gather pollen.

and amber light wakes me
gently at dawn,
moods swiftly gladden,
and again
I’m *re-born!

There is something so magical about spring,
it’s a feeling of warmth and renewal,
a celebration of sights and sounds.
Every-year wild flowers break through
in fields and gardens, reminding us
to keep believing that while we weren’t watching
an underground revival is taking place!

*one of the synonyms for re-born is “found”.

A walk in the park…

“Happiness is just a little thing;
Humans mostly are too large for it.
If you cannot feel the joy of spring
Shrink yourself and maybe then you’ll fit.”
― Michael Leunig, Curly Verse: Selected Poems

Sometimes life is
a walk in the park,
when birds circle
and light is soft,
and all around
there’s magic
and butterflies waft.

You live in the moment
of a perfect dream,
like you’re that cat
who got the cream…

The sky speaks..

“You are the sky. Everything else – it’s just the weather.”
― Pema Chödrön

The sky speaks to me
in shades of light
holding my attention
a wondrous sight.
It is the miracle
of all who breathe,
a light that dances
for those who believe.
Infused with a magic
that never ends
In vivid colors
that wildly blend.
a canopy
that cradles the universe
sacred chapters
of spoken verse…

Seven word story!

there’s a light that never goes out…

A resonance of dazzling light!

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

In the colors
of breathtaking sights
and the resonance
of dazzling light,
all around me
everywhere,
in luminescent atmospheres
pressed into the fabric
of my clothes,
interwoven,
divinely composed,
beneath my skin
deep in my heart
an awareness that we’re never apart..

The last sunset of 2020….

As the sun
melts
into darkness
and distant stars
appear
we say goodbye
to madness
and vanquish
all our fears
We pray for
the Time Lords
to gather
and bring back joy
never again
to mention
the horrors
of the void…
Let’s hold
our hearts
in unity
our breath
be still
drinking at the table
where hope
will have its fill…

Our hearts know!

“Only from the heart can you touch the sky.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

We ride rainbows in the sky,
dream dreams
of days gone by…

Sing songs with meaningful beats,
drink the favor
of eternal peace…

We wish on stars and blue moons,
become drenched
in love’s monsoons,

basking in the fields all day long,
we are the gathering
of heaven’s throng…

We whisper secrets in the darkness,
feel the intensity
of being incarnate…

And when the flavor of life gets bland,
we collapse into
gentle hands…

And let color return to the spaces,
where once
there was
complete stasis…

declaring life to our higher selves,
our hearts know
where divinity dwells…

My silent vows…

The skies surrender
to the presence
of the moon,
lighting the darkness,
as clouds
softly swoon,

and magic is present
when the sun
is at rest,
stars quietly
twinkle
at the night’s request…

trees sway
soundlessly
in humble repose,
reminding me
gently
that I’m not alone,

and I ask the moon
to reveal her secrets,
to outline
her mystery
her divine allegiance…

fluent in kindness
she tenderly
allows
me to confide in her
my silent vows…
