Infinite Wisdom
Infinite wisdom, time and space
Concepts man cannot embrace
Spirits and guides, to you implore
Follow, trust with them explore
Faith in the vastness sight unseen
Purpose, path, what does it mean?
Miracles happen every day
Inward turn, you’ll find your way.
Lost Valentine
I walk the beach, our favored spot
Searching for my love.
Pink puffs on blue, sun bursting through
Hopes are riding high
Be this the day I see his face
Finding his way back
To hearth and home, his family
Awaiting safe return?
I see a man. He’s coming near
Bursting is my heart
The gait is wrong, the build not his
Smashed to smithereens
The gulls are screaming, “Silly girl.
Spirits walk with God.
You look for him, but cannot see.
Open up your mind.”
“A special date, a butterfly,
Feathers, pennies find
A rainbow stretched across the sky
Messages of love.”
Human Condition
Struggle through the birth canal
The baby fights for life
Tiny lungs that gasp for air
A slap across the butt
Pattern set for human life
It’s cruel and cold sometimes
Fraught with tests and challenges
To teach life’s lessons best
Question not when things are good
Enjoy the respite time
Love will keep your spirit whole
Resilient, strong, inspired
Time to leave will come with death
For most another fight
Struggle through the veil to light
Cross over, job well done!
Final Act
Final act of letting go
Cast to ocean currents
All that’s left of life well lived
Flesh to dust and ashes
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gentle spirit living on
Freed from Earthly trappings
Soaring as the circling hawk
Time and space forgotten
Destiny
Loss, disappointment are not the end
But a reason to push past comfort
Open a chapter to destiny
Path to fulfill your divinity
Star Upon The Tree
I set the star upon the tree
A special place on top
Reminder of past Christmases
I spent with my life’s love
Did I appreciate those days
While running to and fro
Or did I miss the best of times
Wrapped up in Christmas rush?
The baking, cooking, trim the tree,
Will all of it be done
Before the family arrives
For dinner Christmas eve
We’d stay up late to build the toys
Exhausted, went to bed
Excited boys would wake by five
To see what Santa left
I cannot travel back in time
To capture what was lost
My photos of past holidays
Forever warm my heart
That special star upon the tree
Burns brighter from above
His spirit lives forever more
In everlasting love
Step by Step
Marching on step by step
Winds of change drive forward
Packing boxes, purging
Former chapters closing
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
What’s ahead unknowing
Daunting plus exciting
Off to learn life’s lessons
Gone the safety net
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Off the cliff, dare to jump
Will I soar or tailspin?
Crash or fly like eagle?
Time will tell the outcome
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Marching on step by step
Are there any choices?
Sun rises every day
I must meet the challenge.
The Way Back
The Way Back from loss
A struggle each day
My heart torn in half
I wished he could stay
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Alas, not to be
His job was complete
Fulfilled, he must go
Ancestors to meet
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Way Back from grief
I stumble and fall
In potholes of pain
Picked up to stand tall
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
New chapters to write
And places to see
More people to help
Adventures for me
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The teacher is life
To live it, to learn
Move forward he says
My love’s at each turn
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Way Back takes time
To heal and move on
With wide open eyes
To see what’s beyond.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Excited and daunted
My soul will be fed
I know it’s the path
The Way Back I tread
