Old friends, familiar

voices across miles and years

Come full circle home.

Change comes like the wind,
Blowing us onto our knees,
Or sometimes, unseen.

But it comes, always.
A constant in all our lives
Nothing stays the same.

Learn to bend, or break.
I choose to bend with the wind
and find a new path.

Mimosa flowers
Starbursts of summer, burned me.
With lies delivered.

Snapshots you sent me
Teasing, then scorching, my heart
Memories that singe.

Mimosa flowers,
Became a weapon you used.
As if you need one.

When I pass the tree
Now, I look the other way.
Set the tree on fire.

Talking, does he hear?
Listening, can he speak truth?
A closed mind is sad.

Sending love and light
To those I love without bounds
It’s all I can do.

Wishing all good things,
That they find a path to love
And leave fear behind.

Everything changes.
Nothing stays the same, I know.
Except love, always.

Sacred space to share
Quiet words and gentle touch.
Connection of dreams.

One thousand heartbreaks

Healed with wild flames and passion

Under a full moon.

Scattered thoughts confuse
Trying to find solid ground
“Be here now” they teach.

Eyes closed, look for peace
Daylight illuminates dreams
Silence lets me hear.

Changes in the wind
Old life fades, new life comes in
Fear leaves, love remains.

So much change happening in my life, I’ve been having a hard time focusing enough to write coherently.  Sometimes I wonder what the heck I’m doing, at my age, creating a whole new life, again.  But here I go…..One step at a time.  Love and light….

And so, what of love?

Can joy follow true heartbreak?

Joy comes from within.

So begins the day

Sunlight warming memories

Wishing love and light.

Have you been humbled?
Have you trembled at the signs?
Can you still sustain?

Does darkness still lure?
Does the full moon make you cry?
Do you know your worth?

Will salvation come?
Will it take your hand and run?
Can you save yourself?

Can your heart feel love
For yourself, and then others?
Will you waste more life?
