Trust In

-------Trust In-------

It is 

not hope

that moves me

Like the young bird

To the edge

of what

I've known

But a trust in these wings

And in the mystery

to hold

me

Flying.

-------

World Peace

-------World Peace-------

We are precious

and we are

abundant;

One

but none

the same.

Take good care

with you,

Sweet Friend,

For we are each 

much more

than just ourselves.

-------

Joy-Full

-------Joy-Full-------

Like a sun-

flower

seed

We are here

to more

than just

survive

But to be

broken open,

to grow

And transform this world

in the joyful

kind

of way.

-------

Anew

-------Anew-------

Every seed 

conveys a world

anew 

and unlike any other,

And our 

dreams

a seed.

As daylight forgives back into winter

trust that darkness

will hold 

a space

For what longs 

in you 

to unfold.

-------

Holds the Dreams

-------Holds the Dreams-------

These fires

were lit

a long 

time ago

And they burn

like stars

inside each of us.

Warm yourself 

by the light of knowing 

that we

are not alone

For Winter has come

and darkness 

holds the dreams

That brought us

into 

this 

world.

-------

Alchemy

-------Alchemy-------

I show myself 

So that 

you 

may see me

To give love

a chance

to fill these cracks

And make gold

from

imperfection.

-------

Little Bird

-------Little Bird-------

Longing

to be-

long

I step up

to the edge

of comfort

To where

my silence

ends.

And like the little bird

Who understands more

than they 

already know

I lean 

from my nest

into the darkness

And trust these wings

to bring

me home.

-------

Rests Upon Me

-------Rests Upon Me-------

Moonlight

shines

through a break in the clouds

And rests,

still,

Upon 

this turbulent 

sea.

-------

Abundance

-------Abundance-------

I abound you

with harvests

from these branches

For you have,

my love,

Been the light

that encouraged them

to grow.

-------

The Space Between

-------The Space Between-------

Like the space

between notes

brings form

to music

It is from absence

that we 

can learn

what makes us whole.

-------

Tourmaline

-------Tourmaline-------

Like the salt

called

from tourmaline waters

We are 

the children

of our mother.

The prayer

that brought us

into this world

Will

forever 

be remembered

As we forgive

into 

the rhythm

Of moonlight

and

the Sea.

-------

Colors Are Changing

-------Colors Are Changing-------

My body is held

and my mind 

let free

By the change

that Autumn

conveys.

Life 

is far 

too precious

To cling 

to the safety 

of routine.

For the colors are turning

And I 

am a leaf

On this

hillside

unfolding.

-------

Reflections in Autumn

-------Reflections in Autumn-------

It is magic

How

When you allow

the light 

inside 

to shine

The entire 

forest

turns 

gold.

-------

A Thousand Acorns

-------A Thousand Acorns-------

Walking 

bare-footed

I can hear the stories

of this land

Untangled

with each step

from the 

forgotten

And alongside

a thousand

acorns

falling

My body

forgives

to

Autumn.

-------

Every Leaf

-------Every Leaf-------

In Autumn's sweet

and slow 

unfolding

The hills 

turn

from green to gold

And I, 

their child,

reflect this prayer

That every leaf

has a gift

to share.

-------

Allow the Change

-------Allow the Change-------

Today

the river reminded me,

"Why continue

to resist

When you could

more easily

Allow the change

to shape you?"

-------

To the Leaves

-------To the Leaves-------

Joy 

rises

from my heart

Like Autumn

to the

leaves

As I forgive

the fear 

of changing

And re-member 

the gold

within.
