We’re tethered
together here
yet alone, set apart..
I can hear
each heart
whisper..
I’m reaching out
reaching out
touch my soul.

Whisper
Moving On
Places
and faces
have gone..
tears shed
have left no trace;
no sign..
time
bled away..
it led us
onwards..
moving on.

Charade
Oh… the charade
of humanity;
the treachery
hubris
all that is..
can we feel
are we alive..
will our hearts break
enough
to survive.

Something Beautiful
A shaft of light;
the flash
of belief..
forgiving insight;
a falling
leaf..
benevolent toil;
the butterfly’s
wing..
a merciful smile;
all fragile
things.

Overflowing
Someday
soon
all
hearts
will beat
in time..
our energy
combined
will overflow..
overthrow
all
that carves
our human
sorrows..
reclaim
our children’s
lost tomorrows.

Disentangle
Disentangle
all the torn
outworn
pieces
still inside you..
bruised emotion
quiet disgrace;
the untruths
within..
that buried place
where light
breaks in
and love
begins.

Life’s Terrain
A child
in life’s terrain;
I stumble
and fall..
blaming
no one..
darkness
cannot
bind me..
light
will
always
find
me.

Deeper
Deep
within
my being..
deeper
than any sorrow
or blind
non-seeing..
I find..
the resilience
of love..
the innocence
of love.

Stars
Do you feel
a sense of wonder
calling..
a teaching
a gift
just
out of reach
the meaning
unclear..
nearer
still
falling
stars
are
falling.
