Gratitudes Grace

A sentinel of heart’s rejoicing
gratitude rang true
in all of my consciousness
Every ember of life’s passion
flamed bright
in the breezes caused
by fresh thoughts and epiphanies
Riding on the heels
of thankfulness
Blessings abound
Dependable Sun

Dependable Sun


I’m so glad the sun is not fickle
He doesn’t take a moment to contemplate
Gee, should I shine today?
There’s no doubt of self purpose there
Do I deserve to burn with a passion for life?

For on sunny days, I love to let my bones warm,
soaking up the warm rays
and when the clouds take over
from my humble perspective anyway
I know in those same bones that I can trust
the sun is there shining
even behind those clouds

rain washes

the rain
washes
nourishes
embraces
tickles
pummels
traces the edges
ready rivulets
down my cheeks

Life…
may as well go for it
immerse in the miracle of it
swim in the stuff of it
dive in the thrill of it
float with the flow of it
What a gift!
Wet, wild, wonderful life

(It’s great when it’s sunny, too…)

Fire in My Bones

Many cold wet days
the winds blow
counter to my thoughts
yet there is the fire
in the center of my hearth
sparking new ideas
warming my bones
burning passion for life
on even the darkest night
