Sandy Respite

Sullied sand
‘neath crimson sunset

Harried by none
slowly sifts away trouble

————————————–

Rest my bones
on the beach
between sand and sun
while breezes wash
my brow with kisses

———————————–

Ah, Respite!

Serenity Glade

Imagine a place beyond, if you will

Beyond skewed perceptions
beyond all judgments of you and me

There, in that glade with softened light
where dappled and delightful dwell
I’ve found moments of serenity

Bubbling creek of understanding running by
The sweet smell of harmony filling my senses

And ever present, the sounds
and caress of peace
softening my knowing with Love

Grateful Toes

I am grateful for my toes
As they wiggle to and fro

And help me keep my balance
As I walk my path in life

Sometimes I just move tippy-toe
Rooting with each light step

Aware of the living connection
Held onto the earth in toe’s grip

Other times I treat my toes
To a walk in the grass or mud

Giving thanks to them
For helping make life so good

Softened Ear

Laying flat on the back
Arms stretched out

Eyes on the sky
And the birds passing by

Listening with softened ear
Buzzing bugs, barking dog

Birds and squirrels
Neighbor lady singing to herself

————————————

And all the while
Soaking up the healing

The nurturing, the loving
of Mother Earth
