Vision Quest

I go to my sacred place, my special hideaway
Here where I feel strongly my connection to the one
I ask the One of my purpose, my duty, job
What is my goal in life?
This my lifelong quest, ever seeking my vision, clarity
A rite of passage, days slipping by, weeks, months
I remember my teacher’s words, the wisdom, guidance
Calmly [...]

You must be responsible, creative, and caring
You must learn that all of Life [...]

Which Are You?

The narrowest of minds
Looking upon the world through their own eyes only
The noisiest, those who have yet to learn to listen
The most condescending are those full of anger and opinion
Those who have yet to learn how to respect one another
The most tolerant, are the ones seeing through many eyes
Seeing and taking time to understand
Listening to [...]

Hidden History

Unfathomable hidden history of time,
Dark forgotten corners of my mind
I see their travels, feel their heat, know their pain
This the dusty trail of distant lives,
Long past, stretching the course of eons gone
Gone yet somehow the memory of them lives
Living as these shadows, deep within my core
A bitter taste of something, it just ruined you through [...]

Wonder of All Wonders

Before the universe was born
Before the first turning of the wheel of time
There was something in the chaos of the heavens
Standing alone, empty yet full
The silence within a riot of sound
Solitary in the most crowded expanse
Unpredictable for all of its unchanging way

It is ever present and secure
Fleeting in its flashes of surprise
You may regard it [...]

Dust Motes and Memories

(A poem about Dementia)
There she sits, lost in her memories
Watching dust motes dance in shafts of sunlight,
Seeing what?
Her eyes are misted by time and years,
And that secret smile, playing ever so slightly
Across her aged lined lips.
Like an ancient Mona Lisa, it reminds us
There are things we will never know about her,
And the things she has [...]

Pain and Heartbreak

Why does your heart get broken over and over again in romantic relationships? Perhaps it is because a heartbreak denied makes it darn near impossible for future relationships to thrive. If we stave off the pain of a breaking heart, we effectively shut down our own feelings and sensitivities – denying ourselves a [...]

The Cricket and the Frogs

I was reminded today of a story.  Always, when the frogs sang the rains would come.  One day a cricket was walking among the frogs.  The cricket started to chirp and the frogs started to croak back.  The cricket said to the frogs, “Oh, your croaking sounds terrible.  My chirping is much better.”  The [...]

These Words

I wrote these words to share the feelings of my heart,
To share this man’s truth, the truth the universe has revealed
I painted my feelings on the canvas of this paper
Used the hand that has longed to touch you
Touch you and reach into your soul to gently caress your tattered heart

I wrote these words [...]
