For hours I lie here
paralyzed with sadness
remembering the two of us
listening to the sea.
Why does there have to be
pain because of parting
when there was such a joy of starting
this creation of you and me?
So utterly exclusively private
there upon the beach
and all within our reach
our love did exist.
What women want is simple
a feeling of security,
a sun shadowed purity,
a feeling bliss.
Men are far less free
I mean sexually,
than women seem to be...
I've always had this feeling,
"let the world come to me".

This death of loneliness
Each night as the dark clouds
of sleep overtake me
you are my last thought
of the day.
Each morning
when a new day greets me again
you are the first thought
I begin each day with.
I relive each moment
of our times together,
though very few.
I cannot sit still too long
at any time
for then thoughts of you
take over my consciousness
and I miss you so
it's as though part of me
is gone...

No Tomorrows
I have no memories
for memories are to share
I have no love
for you are not here to give it to
I am cold inside
for there is no one to smile
warmth into me
I'm numb, non-feeling, dead
as if we never existed
a vanished memory

Beginnings End
When we first began....
suddenly my days were clearer
the sun shone brighter
because of love.
I could rest my eyes
gently on you....
when you were least aware
and feast of you....
whenever I dared.
You were loved as no one else
has ever been loved,
beyond all your foolish,
human faults.
I held nothing back from you.
It was a time of sunshine
and now the dark clouds are here
and I am so alone....
what happened
to our beginning?

Something Funny
I have always found it difficult
to express myself in words
I become tongue-tied...
One of the hardest things
is for me to say "I love you"
I can express it
in so many other ways
a rose for your desk,
a glass of tea to cool your thirst,
rub your back when it's sore,
to worry about you....
I can say "I love you"
with my eyes,
my touch,
kisses,
and giving myself to you
and in my writing
God knows I've sent
enough "I love yous"
on paper
and just when I learned to speak it
with confidence
you parted from me
was it my voice, or
did I say something funny?

Be in a state of peace
Peace is possible. It is possible individually and collectively. Prayer is a means to peace as is conscious living to be at one with the spirit in the energy of peace internally and externally.
To choose to release any negativity and to embrace the peace that God offers all who seek it. Make your actions a reflection of peace without aggression or manipulation.
Take time to ground yourself, to meditate and seek a state of peace whenever you feel yourself becoming agitated for whatever reason.
Breathe slowly, feel a sense of calmness which starts within your solar plexus and moves slowly outward to your heart, your shoulders and neck, into your head, releasing the tension down your spine and into your extremities, until a sense of peace and relaxation restores your tranquility. with practice it takes but a minute or two.
Say quietly within "let me be at peace" with who I am, in this situation, with another person. Look to see how you can deal with things differently, in a peaceful manner and you will.
It is a choice we can make consciously when we choose to live in a state of awareness. We always have a choice in our reactions and our interactions.
It takes less energy to be at peace than to be angry or agitated. In fact, peace and the serenity it brings into our lives actually increases our energy. We can feel the energy of light within as it grows and expands.
The energy of peace we put out to those around us and in our environment comes back to us multiplies in ever increasing increments. The more we give, the more we have.
Seeking peace escalates our spiritual growth, and invites the Angels into our circle of energy where they assist us in seeking an ever more conscious spiritual way of being, of knowing and of living.
Peace is always possible, just seek it.

Friendship is a treasure
Blessed is he who not only enjoys the gift of friendship but the joy of being a friend. Of giving not only his possessions and time but of his heart and spirit.
Friendship is one of the most worthwhile commodities, along with love, that we can possess. It cannot be bought but must be earned. It is a commitment of the heart to another.
It is an act of unselfishness and generosity that rewards us in return. Friendship is not true friendship if it is one sided, although out of necessity at times one can be more in need than the other.
It is a seesaw effect and we should be there for each other through the difficult as well as the good times. A friend makes time for the other.
A true friend truly wants to know what is going on in the life of the other because they truly care. It is not just about them.
They cry with you in your sorrow and rejoice with you in your joy. They do not judge but accept you just as you are.
A friend embraces your differences and doesn't try to change you. They treasure you for all the things you are. A friend is happy for you even when your goals take you miles apart, and they keep in touch.
Friendship is a warm fuzzy feeling. It is reverent and respectful. It allows for mistakes without abandonment.
It is often patient and always kind. It is sitting on the beach and saying nothing and being comfortable with it. It is laughing at the same things and having private jokes.
Friends are there for the long haul no matter what. It is a brotherhood and sisterhood of spirit. At times it is closer than family. It is not to be taken for granted but treasured for it brightens our life and our heart.
He who has a friend is rich indeed.

each one a precious memory...

fading glimpses of youthful springs...

Embrace the surprises
We must cut away from our life the old branches that no longer are a source of growth that we me sprout new beginnings in other areas. We cling to what we know, even if it no longer serves a purpose in fear of striking out in a new, as yet unfamiliar direction.
A new path. We drag our heals in reluctance and keep pounding on a door that is already closed to us because of relationship that is over, an injury that prevents a continuation in a known field, a job market that no longer exists, or a change in a financial situation.
We fail to recognize these circumstances as an opportunity God has given us to fulfill a destiny as yet unknown to us.
We need to stop dwelling on the ending and open our eyes and hearts to the new beginning and see the joy that is a possibility to be gained in a new direction.
We need to embrace it as a new territory we have never explored with enthusiasm and wonder. A change of attitude can make all the difference in the world whether we succeed or claim defeat before we even begin.
We must accept changes and sometimes limitations in order to open the window into tomorrow and all the possibilities awaiting us there.
Until we take time to unwrap the gift we cannot know for sure what it contains. Life is like that, just when we think we have it all figured out we are given new surprises along the way.
It is how we deal with them that makes the difference. We can refuse to move forward, and stagnate or we can welcome it and reap the benefits.
It is impossible to know how something fits until we try it on. This acceptance is called faith. Trust that the Father has a plan for you, because we cannot see it now does not mean it is not there.
You are the explorer in your life and a new world awaits.

It's as if we never loved each other.

pulled apart, separated, and alone.

lost forever,
only a fading memory
in your mind?

his unknowledgeable passions

Today's Intentions
Begin each day with thanks for the gift of this new day and all the surprises, secrets, and wonders it holds. Be attentive to the rhyme of the day as it progresses and give ongoing gratitude for life's little blessings as they arrive.
To always be open and grateful is like hanging a welcome sign on your spirit that keeps you attracting more good fortune. If you start your day with good intentions in mind that is what you will be looking for instead of directing your attention toward all the little negative mishaps that could be possible.
We draw towards us that which we expect to receive. God's desire for us is to succeed, to enjoy the miracles of life, to be in joy and to provide all that we need and more.
He wants to fill our lives with blessings, just ask and be prepared to receive. We are God's spirit in action. Ask yourself how would He behave under our circumstances.
Be in the flow of life and not just a bystander. Be generous of heart and with your smiles for they help to brighten the day of those on the outside looking in.
Feel the power you have to brighten the world a little with your kindness. Acknowledge others. We all appreciate recognition.
Give yourself permission to be authentic, unique, value the truth of who you are and others will also. There is no one like you in the whole world!
Give others the courtesy of realizing they are special too and that God made them also. It will make a difference in your interaction with everyone you meet.
We never meet anyone by accident, God put them in our path. Our job is to realize to what purpose and to honor the encounter.
Often we gain knowledge from others or through an experience or interaction that they were part of, look for the lesson and be grateful, and if the encounter isn't always pleasant let it go.
Receive the message sent and release the rest. Life is beautiful!

Prison Mask
If love cannot be resisted
is it then a treasure
or a prison made by
our desire for the pleasure
of one so craved physically
but more, much more
beloved for thyself... to be
thought of... as never done before
entrapping us in its grasp
a prison behind love's sweet mask

One Rotten Apple
The center of my world
remembers the time
we were
laying together
me hoarding each
precious moment
you building up your
fortress of manliness
tonguing me
with your raspy voice
but outside
I know it is not real
like a worm
inside the apple
it has been eaten away
I push away
all thoughts of you
it was a counterfeit feeling
that poisoned me
against the reality
of what could have been
all because of
one rotten apple
in the barrel

now...

What is
What is happiness,
do you know?
For I sometimes wonder,
is it hiking through a four inch snow
or sunning during summer?
What is love,
how do you show it,
how do you know it's real?
Is it something substantial you can see
or is it an emotion you just feel?
What words we say to one another?
I wish you happiness.
I love you brother.
Letters we put together to describe
a feeling locked deep inside!
Do these letters really say
all we want them to?
For nothing man has created
could tell how much I love you.

Winter in my heart
It's winter in my heart today
and I need someone
to chip the ice away.
The cold has impaired its beat
and left it helpless
I need love's heat
to come and melt the snow
that's drifting in
as the blizzards blow.
The blood moves only slowly through
all my veins and arteries
and slowly, slowly,
they start to freeze.
Must you wait until I turn blue
and my heart is frozen through and through
before you come to chip the ice away
from the winter in my heart today?

Extraterrestrial Passerby
It came crashing down
a fiery ball from the sky
the world was astounded
by an extraterrestrial passerby
that suddenly hit the ground

A walk on the moon
Their footsteps left upon the sand
the eagle module close behind
the first man to walk upon the moon
what wonders will they find?
The excitement that fills their voice
in all the things they see
each and every rock may be
a tremendous discovery.
15 rocks were gathered by them
and some of the soft white sand
among other things they found
collected on the moon by man.
The raised our flag upon the ground
and cameras sent it back for us all to see
we pray they make it safely back
from the Sea of Tranquility.

The Symphony of Living
There is music in all we do,
the symphony of living I call it.
A lullaby of the sky so blue
and the breeze helps us to time it.
The birds hear the song in the air
and sing the music of the earth.
Even the stars twinkle to the time
and the hyenas laugh with mirth.
Flowers wave to the beat of the breeze
as the symphony plays through the trees.
All of the creatures hear the music,
the butterflies, birds, and the bees.
No more beautiful music there is on earth,
you don't need a drum to play it.
The symphony of living for one and all,
all God's creatures say it.

My Ritches
God you have given me so much
to be thankful for
and if I live to be a hundred
I couldn't expect much more.
You have given me a good life
and a love of the things around
the taste of the air
the touch of the wind
the feel of the bountiful ground.
No greater gifts than these have I
and who could ask for more
than to share in God's good earth and sky
and have God himself to adore.

To be remembered
If you want to be remembered
to linger in a mind,
it takes more than outer beauty,
or so you'll find.
You have to contain an inner warmth,
an ability to care,
and a little bit of mystery,
a quality that's rare.
We must have a love for others,
a certain something others don't possess,
it must radiate a beautiful glow,
from inner happiness.

Give God's Grace Today
God works in and through us and we can succeed in accomplishing more in our life when we seek Divine assistance and guidance. For He is the way and through Him all things can be accomplished and without Him we are butting our heads against a stone wall.
He smooths the path before us, aids us in ascending the steepest hills and transports us through the deepest waters. All we need do is seek Him and He is there.
When we are too weary He will carry us until we have regained our strength. We are never alone. He has put Angels at our side to guard the comfort us through the daylight hours and into the night, a constant source of love.
There is no human love greater than God's love, not even that of a mother for her child, but when we seek Him in our relationships He enhances them and intensifies all the love we receive and also give.
We can see Him in the poorest of the poor, the elderly, lame, physically and mentally challenged. Whatever our circumstances we are all children of God and He loves us equally.
Do a kindness each day, that the day will be blessed. Ask how you can serve Him to bring joy to the lives of others. This life is not just about us but what we are doing with the gift of life.
Give it greater meaning by bringing the Divine in to share it. By recognizing Him in those around us. By being generous of spirit. It can be as simple as supplying food for a humming bird, opening a door for someone heavily laden, giving a smile to someone who needs it.
Reaching out in God's Name. Let His light shine through you and brighten the world. Pray for others as well as yourself for love and peace, joy and brotherhood that the world become a better place for all.

myself
by still loving you?

The Good Earth
Have you ever thought about how things grow,
how does a bud come up through snow?
How the tiny seeds you plant in the ground,
into flowers and food abound?
How can ground dormant in the winter bring,
such glowing beauties in the spring?
Only God these things could do,
to provide for me and you.

Inspiration
What is inspiration? Some people think it's a muse, your own personal idea genie. Mostly to me, it is a peaceful contemplation without conscious thought, a meditation on the wonder of nature; the flight of birds, the scent of a breeze, the subtle sense of flowers titillating the air about you.
A visualization of color everywhere; the blues of the sky, the sun-dappled greens of the plant life all around, the subtle nuances of light and shadow, the earth and the roots seeking.
It is an inactive awareness of all creation and the self a component of the energies everywhere. It's an auditory opera of birds trilling, leaves rustling, air stirring or still. It is opening myself to all the wonder of the world, a feeling of an expansion of the soul and mind, a becoming part of allness.
We all have it in us if we still ourselves enough to openness. For it is only when we allow ourselves that space in our soul that inspiration can enter, take shape, grow, reform, blossom, and gradually become a particle, a spark, a dust mote in your subconsciousness.
An idea cannot ignite without that infinitesimal beginning, that seed, that grain that pollinates your thought processes. You cannot strain and work at bettering your brain for it, only silence yourself and seek it in quiet appreciation and stillness of being.
Love all that is around you and send that rapturous joyful appreciation outward to the allness of the universe. The gift when returned takes life in your spirit, pulsation in your blood carrying its own energy of creation, we are just a tool God uses.
Inspiration is a gift He gives us, use it well! Let it guide you, do not try to force it, like a flower it slowly opens until the full bloom materializes, only then can we begin to become the brush, the pen, the sound created, owned by the inspiration, not the author, and in awe that we can create at all. And always thank God and the Angels for they are the means to the creative journey.

To be a bird
Sometimes I wish I were a bird
with freedom to fly
spreading my wings on the breeze
taking to the sky
I would fly across the seas
and over the countryside
the currents of the air
carrying me far and wide
I wound find me a tree
and build a nest right there
and if I chose some spring day
I would fly away elsewhere
No house then would time me down
for I could fly on high
leave all my cares upon the ground
and not tell one how or why

The courage to say no
Sarah knew Bitsy couldn't be laid to rest until spring, after the snows had melted and the ground had thawed. Until then she'd remain wrapped in plastic in the back freezer.
Sarah hoped by then that Thelma would forget about getting another cat.
Kittens were cute and so full of life, but Sarah knew her mother was too old to take care of a pet.
She'd have to find the courage to say no.

is it then a treasure
or a prison made by
our desire for the pleasure

entrapping us in its grasp
a prison behind love's sweet mask
freedom rides away
with the sorrow of our days

Winter is coming
The leaves from the trees
come tumbling down
and settle softly
on the icy ground.
The rain sweeps gently
from the sky
and the earth in winter
does dormant lie.
The birds are quieter
somehow they know
soon will come
the soft white snow.
I will watch in wonder
all these things to see
and I will thank God for his treasure
this beauty just for me.

Beauty
What do you call a beautiful thing?
A sweet youthful smile,
a flower in spring?
Do you find beauty anywhere?
In a blade of grass,
or the heavens beyond our stare?
Even words can have a glow.
How about the sight of newly fallen snow?
A bird's song has a beautiful sound,
oh, so many wonders all around.

evening descend upon everything

Force of love
I have loved you as not other
has ever been loved and as
I shall love you always...
beyond the end of my days.
I feel as though one abandoned
in the desert... with nothing
to nourish me... but love itself.
I will not turn against you
even though my heart cries
out its desertion... there is
no power on this earth that
can put out the force of my
love... it is eternal.

Letting go, I'm free
Divine consciousness
forever expressing its true nature
my only responsibility
is to be aware of this truth
letting go, I'm free

Void of dreams
If just for a moment,
to put the numbers aside,
the dollars we chase,
the void of our dreams filled

Gather what I may
The earth wears no peril
more than what was there
for treachery lives only
in the hearts of men
I am filled with hunger
for the world's beauty
and an urgency
to gather what I may
it is an artistic gift
humans cannot recreate
it was touched with love
color, shape, change
and birth
are its legacies
I am thankful
for its visual enjoyment
the only thing
that defames it
is man...

Growth unnoticed
I'm not quite
as certain of
my uncertainties.
I am beginning to
doubt my doubts.
And I'm having
second thoughts
about my
second thoughts.
I appreciate solitude.
I romanticize it sometimes.
Some growth has taken place
I'm kept myself
too busy to
really notice.
