With Flowers

-------With Flowers-------

As the smile 

of the Earth 

widens 

with flowers

May we too

become

the 

Spring.

Recognize,

Dear Heart,

the beauty within 

you carry,

And allow 

your presence

to be 

a light

For all

who are

near

to grow.

--------

Closer Yet

-------Closer Yet-------

May each of our meanderings

carry us higher

and closer

yet

to the stars.

Like bird wings

on the wind.

Like rivers

to the

sea.

-------

Everybody

-------Everybody-------

No 

one

has the answer,

But every 

body

conveys a truth.

Be still 

and listen.

For within 

this ever-Spring

There is a flower

awaiting

you

to open.

-------

A Beautiful Story

-------A Beautiful Story-------

A seed 

re-members

the fallen fruit

And the flower 

of its

becoming,

The leaves

that gathered

sunshine

And their 

roots

in the earth.

Like this,

may we love in ways

that make room

For the beauty 

within

to unfold.

-------

In Others You Are

-------In Others You Are-------

What you see in others

you are

yourself.

For light

reflects

light

And attention

is sunshine

to a seed.

As the Spring unfolds,

and the peepers 

sing,

Know

that you too

are music.
