Unexplained
Unexplained symbols
From places unknown
Numbers repeating
Feathers and dreaming
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Signs from the loved ones
Sent from the heavens?
Only your heart can
Translate the meaning
Obstacles
Some days feel like cliffs to climb
Focused on the summit
Blockades, detours, slipping back
Kicking, clawing upward
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Other times full speed ahead
Skiing down the mountain
All goes well without a hitch
Expediting, winning
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Doing what you love to do
Makes the struggle worth it
Overcoming obstacles
Life is good, go live it
Wisdom Not
With age I thought I’d know
The answers of the universe
Instead I am in awe
More questions, all is mystery
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Each one of us unique
With systems of complexity
The miracle of birth
Who doubts the hand is heavenly?
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
I look around my world
Observing plants and animals
How do they know the drill?
Forever marching to the beat
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Life’s cycle has a plan
From now until eternity
All creatures play their roles
There is no end, infinity.
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
Love
Love is won
Love is lost
Love is earned
Love is tossed
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kill for love
Die for love
Fight for love
Cry for love
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Chasing love
Not the way
Giving love
Makes the day
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Share your love
Not with string
Freely give
Heart will sing
Roots and Wings
Roots run deep, secure and nourish
Building who I am each day
Compilation many moments
Steering compass ever north
Strength from roots, I dare to wander
Flutter wings to parts unknown
Reconnect whenever needed
Free to fly the thermals home
Alone in a Crowd
Alone in a crowd of strangers
Spinning, twirling where to turn
Adrift in a sea of faces
Searching, looking whom I know
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Not one of the many colors,
Sizes, genders speak to me
For each in a hurry sprinting
Dragging luggage to the gate
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sardines, we are packed in cramped seats
Harnessed, belted, buckled tight
To wait for the looming take-off
Destination, journey’s end
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Alone in a crowd of strangers
Chaos, turmoil all around
Retreating to my quiet place
Tuning in to higher self
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Adrift in a sea of faces
Spinning, twirling where to turn
Find harmony, peace and love thoughts
Inside you and nowhere else.
Demons
Running from the chasing voices
Running from the angst inside
Facing fear the greatest demon
Facing those that rise within
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Run to meet the challenge head on
Fear is worse than what is real
Anxious moments, needless worry
Cast it off and shed the skin
Awaken
Springtime brings a ray of hope
Buried by short days and cold
Wander out, to feel the warmth
Renewed and cleansed, reborn
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Robin redbreast welcome back
Daffodils salute the change
Buds are forming on the trees
Awaken to the blessings
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Darkness, brightness, yin and yang
Minus one, you’d never know
Beauty, loving, heat and light
Awaken to the blessings
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Be aware, live gratitude
Find flickers in the nightscape
See the beauty, love abounds
Awaken to the blessings
Spirit Shouts
My spirit shouts
To give up doubts
And live life’s Love
As shared above
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Relinquish pride
Forgive inside
Let drama go
Seek peace to know
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
My spirit shouts
Remove the pouts
Adorn my face
With smiles of grace
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Give love to all
Is Heaven’s call
Love’s energy
Abundantly
XXXXXXXXXXXX
And so my friend
It all depends
What choice you make
Which path to take
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
My spirit shouts
To give up doubts
I choose the Love
From up above
