Crucible of Life

Distilled essence emerges when still
having gone through the fire
 
Crucible of life
instilled with light
heat of passionate emotion
 
Deep thirst quenched
at the eternal spring 
spirit’s grace
 
Refreshing , soothing
awakened, still

Crucible of Life

Distilled essence emerges
when still
 
Having gone through the fire
 crucible of life
 
instilled with light
heat of passion
 
Deep thirst quenched
at the eternal spring
refreshing spirit

Coyote’s Cry

Coyote once came sneaking around
sniffin’ a bit all about town
with a wink and a nod
prepared to get down
 
Sneaky, persistent, and loyal, too
Coyote knew what Coyote knew
and his tail waving high
fooling more than few
 
As the sun prepared to leave the sky
Coyote, well fed, looked in my eye
leaned back head and let loose
like a stylish young girl, his vivacious cry

Spirit’s Song

A candle lit
Within my heart
Burning brightly
With the force
Of Spirit’s desire
The sweetness of Spirit’s song
Upon my lips

Sing on…

Shiny Joy

Shiny Joy

His Spirit shines out
like a bright sun

Glorifying his experience
with the joyful Zen-ness of the day

While annealed
in the crucible of experience

My joy response
is very shiny!
