Rushing to Greet

A poem for those who like to embrace the day!

Embrace the Day



Gloveless hands
numb with cold

hatless head
damp with mist

flushed cheeks
lifting to the sky

eager feet
rushing to greet
the new morning


Thanksgiving

Today is a good day to give thanks. I am thankful for YOU, dear reader! Wishing you a bit of stillness, and the blessings of gratitude, today and every day.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Give Thanks



there's a stillness this morning
the sparrows are hushed
as if waiting for humanity
to arise in thanksgiving


It Matters Not

A poem about gray skies and foggy days

gray skies and foggy days



no sun this morning
only grayness
thickened with fog

yet in the dreariness
the roosters are crowing
birds are twittering
chattering
welcoming
this day

it matters not
that the leaves
lie soggy and dead

it matters not
that the sky forgot
to be blue

the whiteness of the fog
is simply a wedding veil
to be lifted at the right moment
for morning's kiss



Day After Day

What can we become, day after day? This is what happened to me when I developed a daily walking habit.

What can we become?
I've become the warm sun



Day after day
I've become the warm sun
I've become the blue sky
I've learned how to fly



I've become the blue sky

A Prayer For The Living And The Dying

the living and the dying

This is for everyone, the living and the dying, the caregivers, the loved ones: may you all find comfort, peace, and solace.

even when the questions burn
even as the dreamers yearn

even when the nights are long
even when the fears are strong

even with the great unknown
even as our prayers are sown

even with our people crying
even with our loved ones dying

there is solace in the rising sun
another day will always come

our tears are carried to the One
who knows sorrow and has won
