In Balance

 

-------In Balance-------

 

Storms move through

and then it's calm


And still until

things stir again.

 

Just like this

we each are made


To contemplate, 

observe, reflect


And to realize 

our dreams by acting


Upon them 

as dust to wind.

 

For peace in this world

begins within


But becomes the world

through movement.

A Love That Moves Me

 

-------A Love That Moves Me-------

 

A true love 

is the love 

that moves me

 

To recollect 

the scattered pieces 

of a story I never learned

 

It is 

a fist 

and the tenderness 

 

That breaks 

a seed 

wide open

 

To face the shame, 

the self-hate and blame

that has filled the void of longing

 

It is the courage of winter

and the joy 

of spring

 

The wisdom 

and 

the wonder.

Winter Sun

 

-------Winter Sun-------

 

A golden light

ignites the trees

 

Again

 

Like middle 

Autumn

 

When the leaves were red

and the hills rejoiced

 

With songs

they still are singing

 

Though now at dusk

as the Winter sun

 

Setting

 

Turns 

them color.

Dancing

 

-------Dancing-------

 

There are some 

days

so perfect

 

Next to nothing

could disrupt 

the peace

 

Of moving 

in oneness

with all of creation

 

On a promenade

around 

the sun.

 

Call it naive

but I do 

believe

 

That every

one

has rhythm.
