grace

movement of grace
waters of complacency
ripple from center

pebbles

hard edges of life

tumbled about in current

smoothed by time's passing

one deep breath

passing

six years you've been gone
memories flood through this month
nobody's child now

adventure

boarding pass in hand
release from ordinary
wings carry away
words swirling around
countenance of perplexion
in a foreign land


the face of kindness
in spite of the foreign sounds
on the heart remains


dare to take the path
find directions in your heart
adventure awaits



one deep breath

ramble

leafy autumn search

on the byways of my heart

red and gold treasures

belonging

where do i belong

traveling on a journey

yearning for your face

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

quiet firelight

surrounding my evening chill

autumn belonging

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

folded in embrace

the circle of what matters

sighing depth of soul

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

miles of distance

merely separating touch

home, where the heart is

one deep breath

changes

just like november
to send the wind of changes
through the summer leaves

loneliness

alley-way alone

in a city built for two

quietly i trudge

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

alone in a crowd

do you notice the center

where i may be found

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

faithful and patient

wait for the master's return

please don't be too long

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

loneliness of time

felt in desolate places

shrill cry of the crow

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

house still and quiet

today i am an island

at least until three

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

one deep breath

late harvest

clinging to the wall

in the still sunshine of time

hope is in the fruit

cre8tiva, this one's for you

all souls

layered, time passage
rememberances this day
for all gone before

all saints

those who've gone before
life mimics in the season
leaves blanket the ground
