A refuge..
where tensions dissolve
truth is spoken
and conflict
resolves..
where wounds heal
harmony returns
and the soul
reveals..
hearth and heart
are akin..
I’m home
within.

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

Light
fades;
hidden
from view..
this world’s
parade
of pain
keeps passing
through..
can
we find
some lasting
solace
here..
and start
anew.

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.

Excerpt: Poems from the Universe:
The end of reason
screams..
ruthless gain
reigns supreme;
nothing is
as it seems..
it seems..
Oh speak to me
of love
and gentle
dreams.

Within
the intimacy
of our truth,
anguished thoughts
vanish..
I become
a quiet refrain..
a gentle symphony
again.

The truth
is always there
universal and eternal..
a fleeting glimpse
without a sound;
a sudden flash
pounding you
shaking you
awake..
the truth
is always there..
concealed
or revealed.

I find it in the space between
not seen with eyes
nor touched by hand..
this quiet command
almost remembered..
I find it in the face of love
the grace concealed
now shining through..
with all we knew
almost remembered.

Forgiveness..
the experience
made manifest
within..
given
and received;
believed in..
love’s dominion
begins.
