Spice of Life
Everything inter-related
speaking from a wider view
Talks of all the similarities
the differences
the unique individual natures
Ah, the spice of Life…!
Bee Balm
Upon the curved lip
of turgid, achingly beautiful petals
the bee treads with loving feet
Drinking in the sweet nectar
of life’s full sustenance
gifting pollen in his wake
How blessed we are
by their sharing
Thriving on the fruits
of their loving labor
Rising Sun
In the wheel on the earth
midst the path of our own lives
A new song of praise
rose from your heart
Shared and released
for humans and other creatures
above, below, and afar
We held hands and prayed
for peace, for love
for balance everywhere
And we welcomed
the rising sun on a new day
Circles
Concentric circles
one within the other
ad infinitum
jostled only by the movement
of life
which is also infinite
Gee, it must all be alive
some parts
just playing hide-n-seek
for the joy of it
All are Sacred
In the shadow of the moonlight
where mystery stalks our thoughts
A palpable encompassing force
creeps beside, around and through
A midnight walk in forest
A solo flight in deep wood
into dreams and deeper things
There the shadows lurk
with not a bit of timid
and sounds arise enlarged
to wreak a cacophony of fears
Still each of us remains a light
and all of us are Sacred
So every nook may be embraced
and each peaceful, joyful, thrill relished
