healing eventually
takes place
in the empty space
not a return
a new way of being
What Nothing Gives
A Good Morning
sunshine and new blooms
the kind of day
that heals hearts
Space Enough
I am widened
by the ocean’s horizon
so much space for my soul to roam
Solace At The Green Beach
the river’s ways are
more subtle than the ocean
but as potent a soul salve
Shade Upon Shade Of Blue
I wade into the sky
to cleanse and refresh my spirit
Abiding Love
so many hearts
as much love
as the world needs
Clouds In My Tea
the sky
a tonic
of loveliness
Ever On
missing limb
the healing tree
still fruits
Regeneration
birch heals
the loss
hosting a pine
Released
in the echo
of his cry
every tear is dried
Respite
navigating stillness
by the paddle drip’s song
peace within reach
Healing
time can
smooth and soften
the broken hard heart
“Set me a seal upon thy heart”
beauty seals
the ragged cracks
mending the broken heart
Steps
carry your troubles
down to the river
wash them away
Pray
for the peace
in the pasture
to cradle the world
Restoration
balm to sorrow
the earth smiles
sunshine and flowers
The Life of Healing
near the heart
remains evidence
of a dark jagged year
that had to be grown around
Seeing Through
trees teach
how letting go
makes room for more
Recollection
A memory floated by
on the afternoon’s breeze –
of sweet long ago days
and basking in your spirit.
Sharing Solitude
The owl gazed
into my soul
and left me whole
Recovery
With healing
the loss
is finally embraced.
Spirit in Clouds
During dark days
if I remember to look up
I can see your magnificence
shining on me.
Entirety
rain drops into the pond
ripples merge
into the whole.
Magic Wands
Fairy dust is gathered on magic wands
and used to clean away all ugliness
of sight, word and deed.
Rose without Thorns
Beloved maiden of the garden
peony heals sorrow with her beauty.
