WONDER
Sun Dance
I am a dancer in the sun.
The spinning rays
hold my hand
and melt the foggy dew.
A flood of hope -
a jingle, jangle,
tingle, tangle web of brass...
Weaving light and love...
a warm yellow blanket
that I fold around myself,
as I turn, turn...
grasp, grasp -
longing to reach and hold...
that pot of gold.

Your Song
A gentle sound...
As soft as lace curtains,
moving with the breeze,
enters the room at dawn.
It follows the sun's rays
and rides on moonbeams.
It falls with the rain
and lingers in the snow.
It dances in the twilight
and stays the night.
It's the symphony of life -
the music of your heart,
the vision of your soul -
begging to be heard...
longing to be played.

The Caterpillar
The caterpillar rolled and heaved,
with undulating strength -
A fuzzy wave of green,
weaving over autumn's debris -
Spiking the still brown earth
with a flash of rainbow -
risking its own demise...
daring to be seen.

Words
A word...
As fragile as a snowflake -
As forceful as the sea -
Delights and devastates -
Locks two hearts in love -
Brings nations to their knees -
Dashes hopes...
Builds futures...
and creates histories.

Snow Time
Snow laden tree branches
reach across the sky,
begging for the sun.
Cars travel frozen roads,
flanked by plowed up fences,
that muffle sounds.
Ice encrusted rhododendron leaves
sit drooping,
like a butterfly's closed wings.
The blizzard's legacy
is a slower world,
covered in silent beauty -
A respite to cherish...
A prologue to spring!

What the Heart Says
What the heart says -
can't be told in words.
It goes deep and high -
like the roots and branches of a tree,
reaching for nourishment and light...
When we open our heart's eye
to its secrets,
It will teach us
what we need to know.

The Sea
The sun paints a hot path to the sea -
I cool my feet on the ocean floor -
I lift my hand to touch where the water meets the sky...
So close...yet, far away...
Spaces in time,
holding the mystery of what I see.

The Soul's Spring
When the mind's palette is cleansed by tears,
a smile arises like a harbinger
in the warm sun of early spring...
Like the hope that prompts sparrows to dance
on the bare branches of forsythia...
spreading their wings,
forever, joyfully.
Such a sweet lesson to see.

ONE
Beyond the rumble of thunder and flash of lightening,
there is a plateau, overwhelming in its silence and solitude -
where the soul can empty its burdens...
and for a moment say - enough -
then sit peacefully in the sun
and breathe the fresh air of joy
that comes with the knowledge of ONE...
