quiet is the courage
that puts one foot
in front of the other
Steps
Choose
fear not
the near darkness
be warmed by the light
All Things Possible
cabbage petals
ruffled like a rose
she dreamed herself
into flower
Burning Bush
an enduring
divinity of
light and color
Faith In Mystery
there was
a needed reassurance
in the river’s soft corner
Believe
despite the enormity
of the big dark woods
and the smallness of our feet
we can find our way through
Changed But Still Open
to flow
like water over rock
through heartbreak and hardship
Portent Of Spring
as sunlight illuminates
a spot of green
faith restored
Like Icicles
suspended by
a tenacity
of hope and faith
Made Sacred By Intention
the faithful offering
of careful thought and tending
for vegetable starts and insects
Always Remembered For
your faithful return
each year
in a multitude of tininess
Faith
still beneath the surface of sight
yet distinctly present
leaf buds and spring
The Bend
up ahead
some light
an encouragement to hope
Dormant Birdhouse
empty and still
faith holds the space
for new beginnings
Sanctuary
little church stands between
the old route road and the big woods
with a faith of clapboard and a peace of stained glass
Buddha And The Squirrel
faith
cemented into
place
Prayers At The Marsh
may the heron bless me with a sighting
may the mist rise and grant me clarity
may the water’s reflection give me a second chance to see
Ancient Conversation
the fleeting trillium
and steadfast granite
engaged in their spring colloquy
Verdant Faith
leaves clasped
like hands in prayer
plants in praise of spring
It Has Been And So I Believe
morning always comes
trust in that
is my nightlight
Faith In Flowers
all the ways of beauty
given
like an answered prayer
Determination
the light
always finds a way
to get through
The Way Of Faith
holding to the thought
light remains
even if obscured
Through The Darkness
the world awaited us
growing and blooming
summoning us back home
Long Winter Days
when seemingly
nothing is happening
spring’s new world is gestating
Will You Find Your Way To Being A Butterfly
living inside
nourished with parsley
tended by humans
Onward
into the misty unknown
carry your dreams
while seeking the sun
Two Birds
the expanse of the sky
was unfathomable
so they flew together
Navigation
in uncertainty
I can only steer
by faith
Resurrection
every year
spring
is born again
