Uplifted
Uplifted heart
awakened and surrounded
by many hours brimming
to overflowing with joy
and held together
by the ultimate superglue – love
Love
Love, love, …love
That’s all I’ve got to say
In the face of everything
Any time and any day
Fills me up–it’s all I am
Surrounds me–it’s all you are
Permeates and snuggles in
Instills life in reality
Spirit = Love
Buddy
Hey there buddy,
Ole’ pal of mine—
How’s your gizzard?
Hope you’re doing fine…
You’re my best friend —
Call my heart your home,
So I picked up this pen
To write you a poem
Thought it may seem silly
With rhyme and things
Wanted you to know how much joy
You, in my life, brings

Alligator lizards

holding still for eternity

Alligator lizards
tiptoe-ing through my consciousness
holding still for eternity
In each moment between
holding still in all brilliance
Thinking lizard thoughts
and warm…
Faith
Else, ever seeking without end
ever gathering things of men
ever groping in darkness then
Should I not awaken
from slumber’s dream
release the illusion
of what life seems
…So, I step out on faith
with love-filled heart, I lift my eyes
enter the peace with silent sighs
of blessed grace
Inspiration
From whence, inspiration?
Breathe in and open with prayer
Breathe out and out it flows
—————————————-
Every part of creation
breathes and bathes and is
part of creation
Blessed by the presence of Divine
unmistakably filled,
surrounded by grace
