I want to extend a warm welcome to this poem home.
Enjoy your visit and I hope this will be a source of inspiration and encouragement.
Some of my roles include that of mother, grandmother and kindergarten educator (ret.).
Having composed songs for young children throughout my 27 years in the classroom,
I moved more into poetry following that period.
Please feel welcome to share these offerings with others as well.

Lightness and Soundness

When lightness finds the sounding source
and eagles fill the skies,
souls are freed and songs are sung
to wakened hearts and eyes.

Beams of light that shine the way
fold us in their care.
Spirit voices fill the void
and guide us everywhere.

Softly folded in our wings,
tucked in gentle nests,
wonderment where doubts have been
while all within us rests.

Margery Layton
