Missing you
Missing your closeness
Missing your comfort

Sensing you
Sensing your anquish
Sensing your pain

Wishing for you
Wishing for your happiness
Wishing for your escape

Feeling lost, out of the loop
not knowing the answers
eyes are a blur
memories breathe

Sugar coat the obvious
and swallow the truth
pull out reserve hope
to snuggle the pain

Laugh at yourself for waiting
laugh at yourself for wanting
cry to no one
swallow slithers of tears

Sitting waiting for word
a new string of text that brings news, any news

Prospecting the milk trail for new meaning, new depth.
Thinking, hoping, praying and hoping, more hoping

Grasping the gravity.
Exhilarated by the gold rush.
Amazed by the human body.
In awe of the strength
In awe of the mama. 
Redefining love.

Falling into yesterday
and living there a while
reaching out to no one
to find a steady hold

Taking off the top
and pealing back the layers
finding peace and comfort
and space amid the knots

Cleansing old habituals
and drowning them in fire
finding light and hope
larger than despair

The sweat rosé
so pink and bright
removes the day
and brightens the night

I’m silly and happy
and ready for fun
the world is my playmate
and joy is my sun

May sleep come silent
and the ceiling be still
I’ll keep the goats with me
their work I won’t spill

My solemn promise…I will not drink and blog!

At the speed of life we seek the thrill
and turn our minds away from pain.

We are empty, waiting to be filled
we are full, waiting to pour.

Our path slips away and we are left alone
fending for ourselves finding strength and hope.

When the day comes and the light shines through
may peace be the foundation and love be in bloom.

life gathers faith
and faith spreads hope
hope gathers desire
and desire spreads passion
passion gathers love
and love spreads peace

I’m feeling like a child
and wondering what to do
the earth is spinning faster
my dreams are coming true

A sense of what can be
overflows my soul
the light that’s growing brighter
solidifies my role.

The rain fell, the sun shone
the snow melted, the ice froze

The light was dark, the night brought hope
the warmth cooled, the wind was hot 

The light filters through and with its company 
I see past this moment.
I see the brillance of a new day.

With stillness as my guide
my body directs me toward my true place
where I will be free and open.

I am not looking for direction, I have it.
I am not looking for hope, I feel it.
I am not looking for peace, it is within me.

The earth feeds us and we give back,
becoming a part of it. We are moist with possibilities.
Love is our water.
