Look Carefully

Triumphs and disappointments
makeup all our passing days
lessons held within each one
should we care to look carefully

Before me

Words seem like talk
which I've used often
trying to shield myself
from the awful silence
and aloneness of eternity
stretching out forever
right in front of me....

04301996

The Eternal

Let me stand strong
in the face of adversity
fight for justice always
and do right daily
give me guidance
when I stray....
show me the light
that I find the eternal

My Transition

Lost inside waiting
silent, and forgetting
the clock winds down
memories long gone
grown empty now
bring on my transition

01121996

Projected

Love takes me beyond
projecting me in time
where we'll find meaning
and become aware
of who and what we are

05081996

Company

Good company, together
we share experiences,
that transform today,
making it a memory....
we'll call it a ceremony,
or a tradition to share,
year after year,
until one by one,
we each depart,
or forget the company
we kept today...

Sunshine Waits

The door of time
soon to close for me
love once mine
there waiting for me
golden sunshine
shows the way to me

All the better

My past has brought me to where I am today, and I'm grateful for that. Without it, I would not have grown nor seen my blessings for what they are. Time gives and takes, some things bad, some good, but all for us to grow by and become all the better. So, let me be grateful for each, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Knowing

If I, making my awkward way
among my cluttered thoughts some day,
the lost and ominous key should find
to the sealed chamber of my mind,
would I the secret room explore
and, knowing what I know, know more?

04011977

To give

I wonder if you've ever realized
how very much I care.... for you?
I want each day
to be one of happiness
for you....
with time for you to share
the burning sunset
two eyes meeting
across time
a smile... gentleness
as you softly caress
all your tomorrows
may you always care enough
to give what you have
as I did.... giving you
all the best I had
of me....

000070-07

All that I was

My path once paved with words
is erased with each passing day
leaving only one destination
that will have no memory of me
no mention of all that I was

Let them come

Time is a gift God has given, use it wisely, be at peace, open your soul for the spirit has work to do yet. God will provide as He has always provided. Abundance is yours without even reaching out, but wait and all good things will come to you. Let them come.

Give Measure

Let me create the meaning I need through the gifts I've been given from God. Let the experience be so deep that it can only be understood through the experience of living it. We all need to use our time to explore and discover what we are, to slow down, and develop. Let us find value here, let us learn, and with each breath give measure to life.

This time

I am grateful for the quiet time this morning, not to be hurried or off somewhere, but to spend time with God and at peace on my patio. It is truly a blessing to be aware, to know I am being guided, to have a conversation with God and listen to His answers. I am grateful for this time in my life.

03102000

Without Time

We shared many memories in celebration of life. My private moments reflective of our time, passing, and so came the forgetting, past, gone, present too. No future to record. Forgotten before it happens. I sit now, oblivious.... without time, and nothing to share.

Blessed with Time

How blessed I am to be at home, to be a part of all this, of all nature, of all life. The sounds are as of a symphony of life, and through it all the sun is shining, that too is a blessing. I feel rich indeed to have the time to relax and enjoy the beauty of this day.

God in all His greatness answered my prayer and gave me this gift of time to be more aware to all of life around me. To just be, to pray, to go within, to be in tune with the grandeur of all life, to appreciate the small things, to hear and see with more clarity, to be at peace with myself and with God.

May I continue to grow in awareness. May I find the purpose of my life, may my art and writing evolve, and my soul, with God's blessings for His glory.

Face to Face

We are never alone with God. The more I meditate, the more aware I become of God's blessings in all things. I see life with new eyes because now I take the time to look at everything and truly see. I am surrounded by beauty in the flowers that inhabit my patio with me and wherever I look I see the world in glorious bloom.

These are God's blessings, I hear the birds in their conversations and hear it too as praise of the Lord. How abundantly we are provided for. We are rich in gifts when we open our eyes to the world around us. Praise God for all the wonders in the world and the vision and time to enjoy them.

Make time each day for this gratitude, for this is the road to inner peace. Life was not meant to be hurried through. We fill our lives with constant bombardments of T.V., and computers, and videos, and such, that we have forgotten how to sit and just be and experience the world around us.

It is much grander than any automation that man has created. Just watch a bird in perfect flight, soaring through the sky, without trouble he glides in the air. And pollen light as air floats by in slow motion. The lights and shadows of nature are more magnificent than any captured on canvas.

There is constant movement, constant growth, constant change, and all we need do is sit quietly and feel a part of all existence. The trees wave their branches at me in greeting the and pansies impishly lift up their faces along with the violas.

We learn from nature, what needs sun, and what needs shade, to feed when necessary and quench thirst and thus we too are as caretakers in our world. I do not want to waste this gift of time, but use it well instead.

I pray to God daily to guide me, to help me to grow even as the flowers grow and lift up my face to God. The day will come when we are face to face, on that day I can thank Him for all the wonders He created and for this gift of life.

Touched Truth

When we seek God we find ourselves in glorious awareness. With Him we know we are never alone for He takes our hand and raises us up and we are filled with rapture so pure we feel reborn. There is no worry within God, nothing troubles the spirit, there is only tranquility, harmony, peace, and Love.

More love than we felt the power to experience and more awareness. The trees are more majestic, the breeze more caressing, the sun radiates healing power, and all is right with the world. I have learned what it is to feel gratitude in a richer abundance.

To be grateful for so many things unnoticed before. Even the flowers seem to speak now, as they lift up their faces to God. All of nature is on the same wavelength. I am aware of some cosmic existence that I never knew before, of rainbow lights and sun streams surrounding me in a silent communication and acknowledgment.

Discs of light approaching and a feeling of anticipation of change, a new awareness that never existed, a new dimension, and a loss of time. I feel as if I'm enraptured, healed, and changed deep inside, where the soul of me exists.

Surrounded by angels in ever increasing numbers. I watch the sunset and feel a change, a difference somehow taking place, my heart within knows this. I've touched truth.

Endless Rewards

Anytime is the right time to seek the Lord. Each day make time, take time to pray, to meditate, give time to spirituality as yo do the business of life. Schedule time for God. The rewards will be endless.

Aging Silence

True presence
a rare occurrence
that visits me
enfolding enlightenment
filled with answers
that I still ponder
in aging silence
