May Bridge

May blooms
as a bridge

Between winter’s grey
and summer’s crowning

May this May
bloom in your Spirit…

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

Rainbow Bridge

I am
sunlight dancing on leaves
sweet aroma of Spirit
the Word alive

You are
soft mist curling on still pond
crisp watermelon scent of cut grass
murmured whisper

We are
rainbow bridge in constant motion
earthy smell of fresh loam
spoken intentionally

Seeds of Choice

They didn’t plant anything
yet the trees and wind and squirrels did

And up came the odd plant
and hundreds of sproutlings
in Spring after the rains

——————————–

They planned and prepared
and planted seeds of choice

Drawing patterns of beauty
which made sense to them
and after Spring’s drizzles
and energetic doustings

Plants bearing promises
of sustenance and inspiration
burst forth to grow from fertile ground

His Spirit’s Glory

He finally came to accept
all of who he was…

And in that acceptance
came to realize
the glory of his Spirit

—————————-

At the same time
he resided in the lodge of his heart
for the full season

Many blessings befell him

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

Tender Care

A moment in the garden
with toes exploring rich earth
face caressed by sun and breezes

Pop a tomato in the mouth
so flavor seeps juicy into cells

—————————-

It starts in preparation
seeding, planting, tending

And just as you and I
care tenderly for us and each other

The daily rituals of conscious attention

So, too, the garden comes to bear fruit
and nurturing peace…

Leaping Flourish

Leafy cartoon figures
bobbled and shivered
in a dramatic scene of green

As little squirrel leapt
with flourish and style
to the next small leaf strewn branch

Off on his hourly constitutional

—————————–

I, on the other hand
merely observe the circus act
from the comfort of warm and cozy

The heady essence of tea
awakening some other senses

The Heart Blooms

A soft comfort
for a thrilled heart

The dream of full expression
fulfilled with success

A moment’s glory
a reason for gratitude

—————————-

Every time the heart blooms
another sprout comes to fruition

Spirit celebrates
by infusing new with joy

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…
