All we can do
Is welcome change
And prepare for it
So that when it happens
We are ready

Color My Dreams
Gone are the days
When my babies cried
Gone are the nights
When we lay side by side
Gone is the laughter
The joys and tears
Replaced with silence
And screaming fears
Our cherished life
Apart at the seams
Once filling our hearts
Now colors my dreams
Rainbows Through Rain
Laughter through sadness
Rainbows through rain
Life through birthing
Smiling through pain
Another Year
Youthful energy
Has given way to middle-
Aged lethargy
Rollercoaster Life
Rollercoaster life
Buckle up and enjoy the ride
From the time I awake until the night
I’m guided by an inner light
That transports me to joys so bright
Flying me on wings of dizzying height
Then dipping low and causing fright
Lurching, flying, moving, crying
My soul is on an emotional flight
To be, to have, to think, to move
All parts that work for good
But above all of these, there is but one
A higher, deeper, lower, greater
Depth to me and this would be
I feel
This is my humanity
We Are One
What do you dream
For a year brand new?
What wishes do you wish
Would come true?
What are your hopes
What are your dreams
What are your thoughts
Secret fantasies?
I dream of love
I dream of you
I dream of life
And skies so blue
I want to live
I want to breathe
I want to be in this
World we share
So I close my eyes
I send a kiss
On butterfly wings
And a silent prayer
May we prosper
May we thrive
May we help each other
To survive
For we are life
We are not alone
We are connected
We are one
Happy New Year!
We’ve just welcomed 2017, and I am hopeful for the grace of God.
More love for thee, more love.
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Wishing you health, wealth and happiness xo
Night
A still dark night
Leaves me alone
To ponder thoughts,
My fears.
Consumed by anxiety
I hear the buzz of silence –
That hum when all is still
A connection, maybe
With the world that cannot be seen
The dimension that is above
The natural world
Where our loved ones wait
Patiently to welcome us
And outside a cricket
Chirps.
Envy
I want what you have
Without knowing the full price
That needs to be paid
I Love You
I love you in darkness
I love you in light
I love you in daytime
And all through the night
I love you in winter
I love you in fall
I love you in summer
And right through it all –
You are the one for me
You help my heart mend
I love you forever
I love you, my friend
