Laughing Partner

Laughter rises
from the depths of the gut
Adjusting, cleansing, healing
Haha… Hoho
and a giggle or two, too
———————————————–
My laughing partner
you share humor daily
Keeps me dancing on my toes
awakening joy

Silence in the Center

Serene in the face of gossip
Awake in the wake of war
At peace in the midst of violence
One in a group of many
To be in the middle of doing
Silence in the center of cacophany
Joy in the heart of sadness
Grace, the seed inside disdain
Love, throughout all
One…

Lives of Passion

In the sea
of unconditional love
Near the shores
of peace and prosperity
The tranquil storm approaches
on the winds of sacred breath
Let us ride on wings of promise
to the land of contemplation
Let us live our lives of passion
in the world of Mystery’s creation

The Feather Man

The feather man
could have chosen
to wear a crown, a blessed badge
To beat his chest
and play top of the heap
Instead, instead…
with open heart to open hearts
he gifted feathers, his treasure
To a circle of sisters
whom he did not know
And became all the richer
for giving his gifts…
away…

Harvest of Love

Harvesting the fruit
in the autumn of our lives
Awakening together
at dawn or the middle of the day
We go along our separate paths
gathering the rich bounty
with arms open wide
sweet, juicy, lovely
We return home together again
surrounded and nurtured
by life’s, love’s Grace…
