The Key

Forgiveness and compassion
is the key which opens
the lock in my heart

Open the door
and let Love shine

Illuminate my world
all the time

“Use the key,” I say to me
“Use the key.”

Sweeping Smile

Whenever she thought
about him

Without the slightest hesitation
a smile swept across her being

As her heart empathized
with Love’s energy

Love Reigns Everywhere

There is a place
amongst the stars somewhere

Or in a drop of moisture
dangled from a tiny hair

A constellation so miniscule
we’re not aware it’s there

It’s way out or way in or both
where Love reigns and fills the air

The very breath of life inspires
everyone who is there

And it’s all different
and so much the same

For, in my heart, I know it’s One everywhere

“There is a moment, a chip in time
When leaving home is the lesser crime
When your eyes are blind with tears, but your heart can see
Another life, another galaxy“

–Paul Simon

Conscious Work

A labor of Love
their deep conversation
passed gently through
the hours of productive pain

To birth a new understanding
between them

Joyous
conscious work…

Deja Vu

After these years together
as some sparkling new day begins
so many times I notice
it’s déjà vu all over again

Familiarity, it seems
(at least, in our experience)
causes not contemptuous lip

Instead a deepening of Love

With new eyes, I see you again
a whole new being with tender spots
and blossoming heart
Ever richer connection
