Hope



tread surely
for these are singular steps
never to be repeated.
lift your eyes,
for the path 
is not the destination.
be drawn forward,
not by the momentum of the past,
or the hesitancy of failure,
hear the call,
there is hope,
and hope needs be
every step.

Music





The notes cry,
sighing
Cascading,
Falling like light
In a gentle room.
The piano,
She celebrates with me
As my fingers weave
to and fro
teasing the tune
that's waiting,
longing to be sung.
Then,
the words,
they arrive,
line by line,
 on an empty page,
a flurry of scribbles,
neat,
chosen,
fitted together
This page is becoming the song,
as the music rises,
Dancing
Alive,
one day to leave me,
to find
the open heart
Of one,
and another,
Prepared to listen..
To dance
And to be carried away.

And there was...











sometimes,


even in the midst of the night,


a light shines.


perhaps we should remember;


the dark


 is on the other side


of sunlight.


Sunset








Day follows night,


sunshine follows rain,


hope is birthed


when we least expect it.


life is a gift.


love pursues us,


even when our heart's are heavy,


joy bursts out of the most unexpected moments.


the skies are clear


above the clouds.


Be embraced..

Grief

















For my beloved Claudia:
Loss is a promise of the more
that is to come.
Grief will promise a new tomorrow,
that will be said and
will be done.
Yesterday will fade with time,
that will pass, with time,
and yet,
your precious dreams,
and loving thoughts,
longings
and desperate regrets.
take your time
to mourn your loss
your love
will count the cost .
memories..
precious
memories.
the now
and the
not yet.
precious memories...
precious memories.

Sunset

















Sunset...
The end of day.
The words said,
The faces seen,
The beautiful,
The glorious,
The Inspirational,
And the not so.
All things,
They pass away with this
diminishing glory.
The colours of light's retreat,
The promise of a new dawn,
The sunrise.
Light's return,
Life beckons us
To tomorrow,
And another sunset.

Gracing














Just one word can be the spark
A ray of light
carrying hope
Into another's darkness.
Just one heartfelt word,
Without an expectation of reply
can bring love
And compassion
To a lonely heart.
If we allow our lives to connect
To seize the opportunity
To reach out
Then perhaps our lives
Can be an ongoing act
Of giving...
Loving
And gracing.

Love

Love is abandoned
Reckless,
Wild,
But... Given,
Unconditionally,
Beyond boundaries.
Beyond today
Or tomorrow.
Love,
Is received
As a gift.
Not demanded
Or expected..
Just as it is
Love is.
Whether behind
Or beyond,
Love endures..
Today..
Love is still
Love.

Love.

Love is an adventure,
A roller coaster ride,
A series of twists
And turns,
An endless surprise.
Life is a reflection
Of love's ultimate gains,
The precious,
The glorious,
Love always remains.
