  • In this stillness I sitOverwhelmed by serenityTranquilitySilent pondBirds have folded their wingsTo sleep cradled in the tree branchesFlowers bow their heads to slumberIn the cool night airIn this stillness I hearThe singing of my heartEach note reflected in the bright mirrorThe moon in unmoved waterClear sparkling silenceWith eyes closed, heart openI see you joining me…

  • The rain falls gently,Steadily over me,While I am walkingI do not run from it, find shelterIn a doorway or go insideInstead each drop soaks me to the coreRunning over my face in tiny riversThrough my hair, over my skin, to my feetUmbrella lies forgotten in my handWhile I stand to watch the puddles grow,And water…

  • I walk while the sparrow callsFrom the trees high aboveLeaves wave in tenuous flight,Quiet stream flows here,Careful certainty,Crystal rippling joyStones turn in the currentGently shaped, smooth, roundI lean against an oak tree,And watch shadows cast by the sunEyes closed, I dream whileThe stream gurgles and giggles beside meWith careful certaintyBreeze whispers through the leavesIn this…

  • In my heart, I feel youUnfolding, part by part,Your song mingles with mine,Two rivers merging,The song eternal, of a million voicesRising clearly through the darknessTears stream with rippling joyOf lightAs we kneel together on the shoreThe ocean surf pounds in our earsAnd waves crash around usOver us, through usThe boulder melts to a stoneThe stone…

  • I have never seen your face, but IHave seen the colour of the sky throughYour eyes, and felt the sun warmAgainst your skin.A mountain stream flows from high rock,To ocean floorIt cools the burning touchCleanses the heart and makes it fullThe mango tree sits alone, on a grassyHill, branches laden with fruit,In its shade, I…

  • AngelBright blessingsAs love unfoldsEmbraced by this lightGossamer wingsIn a gentle breezeFree fallingFloating freedom~

  • Pebbles in the ocean,I drop them one by one.Standing on the shoreline,Across my shoulders,I feel the sun.Move to cooler waters,among the shining waves.As I watch the pebbles fall away,Their shadows still remain.Floating on the water now,I am cradled in its arms.Wash me clean, unfold my heart,Hold me close always,Fly me like a bird,Fly me home…

  • In the dark of nightI hear you calling out to meLike a fire to the flameI have come home againSafe in the heartYou hold me closeAnd closer stillIn this beautiful placeClouds melt to the sunI have become oneAt the crossroadsThere is only one road to takeInto the valley or to the mountain topThey are the…

  • Sounds of falling waterfloat through the airLeaves, green-gold,shimmer endlesslyAmong the laden branchesof the mango treeAs I sit in the roomwith pomegranate wallsThe gentle sloping trunkrolls across the canvassAnd down,as if to find its roots somewhere elseMy eye followsthe sprawling path to the doorThe moment you come in,Ah brilliant light,your energy embraces me,As you sit next…

  • I follow the trail of waterWith the tip of my finger,Your coffee cup leftA ring on the counterIn the place where I hadLeft it to dry.I do not remember whereThis digit journey began,Or where it might end,This slow tracing of the pastIn my mind, I can see you,Lifting the mug to your lips,To drink the…

  • I am idle tonight,as I watch the candle wax foldAnd melt into the dish.Thoughts drift and sway,like clouds on a breeze…Still my heart from beating,while the light dances acrossmy fingertips.I cannot hold this captive in my hand,Any more than I can build a rose.Instead, I let the light slip through,free to flicker,And dip to the…

  • I count the beads that sit on my wrist,One by one,I never think to look where the circle begins or ends.The glass is cool against my fingertips,As I sit by the window,When the breeze sneaks in through the cracks,I pause,Letting the circle go~
