Blessings

Blessings be to ones who know,

the ones who keep the inner glow.

Always faithful, always true, 

never fading, coming through.

Knowing well that power fades,

fumbles, bumbles in charades.

Being there with open hearts,

finding ways for new, fresh starts.

Morning Essence

The essence of the morning is the waking of one's self,
the knowing that the someone in must be the someone out,
the peeling off the layers that bind and gag the soul,
the singing through the hazy ways and lighting paths with love.

The essence of the morning is the seeking in the heart,
the finding where to lead the way and where the way can lead,
the cutting through the underbrush and clearing out the weeds,
the basking in the steady shine and cooling with the breeze.

The essence of the morning is the flower in the soul,
the beauty spot that glows and knows where lightness touches song,
the fragrance of the freshness that dews upon the heart,
the dancing of the petals in brightly colored tones.

The essence of the morning is the freeing of the mind,
the wings that rest in quiet thought while camouflaged in beige,
the floating through the clearest blue serenely with elan,
the soaring to the highest reaches where the unknown knows.

Thanks and Giving

With blending times
and onward moves,
singing hearts
and ways to choose.

With glowing minds
and feelings bright,
sun filled days
and moon filled nights.

With warmth and courage,
tried and true,
from the old
and freshly new.

Morning Freshness

Sprinkling with the dewdrops,
rising with the sun,
moving with the music,with new/old times begun.

Streaming

Wading in the living stream,
almost like a living dream.

Softly, surely coming through,
hearing voices that are true.

Moving gently through the storms,
lightly clad in one's own forms.

Knowing all the ways there are
in how to find one's own bright star.

Lime Aids

Lime comes softly through the night,
gently stirring, tender bright.

Streams of knowing barely seen,
just a lovely flow of green.

Floating on into the day,
touching lightly on the way.

Sensing notes unheard before,
fresh new mysteries to explore.

Whispers touching hearts that know,
imprinting with a greening glow.

Worthy Note

A bright and cheery note
escapes from all the snares,
goes beyond the traps
and
soars above the storms.

Sky Song

Moving past the angers,
waiting out the storms,
finding all the sheltered spots
where trust and honor warms.

Going through the motions,
while knowing all the while
that the deepest meanings
are in a friendly smile.

Finding all the sunbeams,
shining with the moon,
brightest diamonds in the sky,
singing our own tune.

Songs of Silence

Songs of Silence give us rest
while singing in the deepest nest.

They hear the songs that know the ways
to deeper, fuller, light-strewn days.

Star-kissed notes and moon-beamed light
bring meaning to the darkest night.

Glowing ways and softened songs
freshen hope and right the wrongs.

Windows

Windows that are clean and bright
welcome in the soul filled light.

Sparkling with some unheard tunes,
dancing with the soft-lit moons.

Windows of the soul, we know,
shining with their softest glow.

Peace Finds

When peace reigns,
hearts glow
and nature's flow
find the openings
and show the ways
to brighter, fuller, fairer days.

When wings find
the peace of mind
that comes to know the humankind,
feathered thoughts float gently through,
giving space to all that's true.

Giving and Living

With caring warmth
and warming care,
wrapped and found in mystic aire.

With hearts of knowing,
gifts of glowing,
seeds of sowing,
resting there.

With deeds of laughter,
sparkling rays,
shining through the darker days.

With songs transcendent,
ones unsung,
and just for fun-ness,
bells unrung.

With joy and kindness
everywhere,
sprinkled in the warming care.
