My life is as dust
On an endless desert plain
I have nothing to give
Or offer or
Show
But a gentle word
A smile or touch
Gentle rain
On a sandy desert
Plain

One Journey
Only one life to live
Only one life to give
Only one heart
One mind
One soul
Only one journey
To heaven
To home
At One
I enter the inner sanctity of my heart
At one with the life breathed into me
And I feel a quiet peace so still and gentle
I know I am safe and loved and guided
Protected by my creator, my lord
I Love
I loved
I loved with a pain that sliced with ice-sharpened knives
I loved with a love that haunted at night
That invaded my dreams and nightmares
Those eyes that penetrated my soul
That brought me to smiles and tears
Left me on whisper-white clouds
And pits of darkened coal
I loved with my very essence
I never stopped
I loved
And more than that
I love
Yay for Love!
If all we can do is love
Then let us love!
We are spirit
We are life
We are one
Love, life, spirit
Hold us up
Hold us high
Lift our eyes
Lift us up!
Together
Take my hand and fly with me
Fly far, fly high
Love our days away
Hold my hand and run with me
Run fast, run far
Submit to love
You and me
Forever
Together
And always
Always
Sparkle!
Lessons I’ve learnt:
Be interested in others
Remember and address others by name
Enthuse positivity
Always wear sun block
Drink water (lots)
Always attend six-monthly dental appointments
Wear heels
Embrace your sparkling personality
Because ladies, we all sparkle!
We absolutely do!
Sweetest Friend
I have the sweetest friend
Who spreads her light
And shares her love
Unsparingly and
Joyfully
I love her smile
Her grace
Her heart
My loving friend
I love you
Perfumed
My heart is perfumed
With the sweetest scent of
God’s unfailing grace
His mercy has no end
And his kindness is forever
Pink Peony
Basket of flowers
Being delivered today
Rush past my person
With no small delay
My heart wells up
My soul is touched
To have but a petal
In palm of hand clutched
My yearning is felt
A small gift breaks free
Released from its hold
Pink peony for me
I lurch through the crowd
Stem falls to the floor
My heart sings out loud
To my creator once more
