End of February

The moon lit up the sky last night and there proved to be no storm forthcoming. The stars glittered and winked as if sharing a small joke with me and I smiled in return. Today has arrived with clear deep blue skies, a lack of clouds, and grateful birds chattering and singing of their own joy.

I caught the squirrels raiding not only the bird feeder on the front deck, but the one hanging in the tree as well. Formerly they left this one alone, but once they learn how to grab and tilt one, none of the rest are safe except the feeder hanging from the eaves they haven't been able to breach.

It's hard to believe this is the end of February already. I have been so busy keeping winter at bay, shoveling snow, feeding the hungry birds and squirrels, and working around the house that is has come and gone with a winter roar, and yet barely a whisper.

Tomorrow we will see March in, will it start like a lion or a lamb? I plan on letting nature show me more of the wonders that God has created.

You of the heart

You were born
you of the heart
before all thought
or words formed
understood deeply
enveloped in love

Something's wrong

I can't put my finger on it

My world obscured by clouds

Something's wrong I know

How many lost days I forget 

A stranger lost in a crowd

This is how my days now go

Until there's no me

Look for who you are
you've left yourself
laying about somewhere
this discomfort grows
as does my lostness
my disease of perplexity
ever expanding
taking me away
until there's no me
left to look for

Disassembled

The world's fragmented
there's no remembering
gone like broken glass
days scattered around
refracted colors everywhere
I'm disassembled now

Embrace the many

Embrace the many
become whole
completed in love
on an infinite journey
to nourish the soul
and join the lord above

Eternity comes to be

A center of light
that's who you are
that's all there is
let the light expand
let the void be filled
the emptiness gone
as one's self grows
eternity comes to be
