Quest
A long way up the mountain
as I journeyed
from my head to my heart
followed hawk
and dreamed my place…
There on the mountain
I met porcupine
and deferred to her welcome
in all innocence
Turtle Walk
Steadily, steadily
one step and then another
with turtle patience
and tortoise determination
Steadily, steadily
more aligned, more aware
Life, the curlicue decorations
while focused on the destination
steadily stepping through fog
and sleet, sunshine and dark
Spirit navigates through heart and minds eye
Birthday Song
Out of the eyes, tears sprang
as you sang from your heart
to mine — a Spirit song
I cry for happy
when joyous ache
overwhelms essence
when gentle words
in tenderness tread
upon heartstrings
as delicate as spiderwebs
Unveiled
Once,
or maybe twice
the veil between realities
slipped out of place
knocking the do-dads
from their normal hangout
and adding a sense
of wonder
to an otherwise normal day
Alive
Alive!
Yes!
Every moment I experience
in full consciousness
an eternity
stirs in my depths
Gratitudes
Tell my heart, please
not to burst
with joy, and love, and overwhelming Grace
Whisper softly on the breezes of your breath
gratitudes, prolific gratitudes
Savor the sweet aroma of Spirit rising
surrounding every thought
encompassing every feeling
uplifting every deed
The giving of thanks
engulfed in the Praises
blessed
