Poetry – breathe

Close your eyes

gently slide your finger

down your forehead

along and under

your nose

across each lip

over your chin

slowly slowly

down your throat

neck and chest

breathe

smile to yourself

you are alive.

Poetry – Patience

Sometimes

even the bravest

most beautiful hearts

lose their courage

then behave in

strange

unexpected ways

to conceal it.

Poetry – …spirit

I could feel

the warmth

of your shoulder,

hear the sound

of your voice.

We danced

in the rain

and we laughed

together

in the mud.

And for a moment

you were there

I felt such joy

a surge of creativity…

a dream flowed

from my mind

through my fingers…

I miss you.

Poetry – The Little Girl

There is

a little girl

that lives

inside of me.

No matter

how many times

I’m knocked down

or how hard I fall.

She somehow

finds a way

to get me to stand

brush off my knees.

She turns up the music

inside my mind

& shows me

how to dance again.

Poetry – The Cup

Shadow caresses

the edge of sorrow

Light trickles down

into the bowl of hope

Sip from the cup of life

really taste it

the sweet

and the bitter

filling your belly

with resilience.

Poetry – The Trek

The wind

was fierce

it blew

with such force

I could barely stand.

I lay down

in the grasses

while it howled

and thrashed

against me.

I called out

to the clouds

until my voice

ran hoarse

my mouth dry.

Invigorated

rejuvenated

and ready

for the long trek

home.
