With Peace Within

Reaching high

it comes to me

that yes

 you really do now see

you will sleep

 peacefully.

And as you said to me

on what you hoped

your last day would be:

Go out again

 to the Winter-sweet,

where first it seemed

there was no scent.

Then when I went

the evening dew

was on the blooms.

There was a fragrance 

filling the sky,

as you told me

you are ready to fly.

I mentioned

 to your dear friend

you now know 

where to wait

looking through

 to heavens gate.

Translucence

Barely a leaf

to warm the morning

on this very 

wintry dawning.

 

And rarely a morning

to cheer your heart

in this way

where you now start. 

So unusually

do we see

the depleted leaves

 clinging onto stalks

as Winter-sweet blooms

pale against the sky,

softly fragrant

reaching high.

 

And all around

is waiting for

the all-spice scent

to call you over

where all above 

will welcome you,

as this sweet tree

calls to me.

 

So let life be

 like a fragile leaf

and let all fall 

onto the ground 

as you rise above

all around

while

 golden flowers

 shine 

to the higher light.

New Moon Calling You To Start Anew

Yes I see you.

I come to view

 your golden petals

lighting the way

in this dark moon day.

Only one 'bird' shining

in the pelting hail,

strong winds prevail.

 I see your beauty

from a distant window

calling me

to say 'hello'.

Gabriel is sowing Light.

Understanding

 will come in this night.

Listen deeply

your call will be

silently

answered by angels.

This Song Comes Softly

This song comes softly

quietly in

seemingly

nothing

happening

and then

the note played

nearby

and there was I

floating in

to a new

 beginning.

A surprise from nowhere

not looking

then something

was happening.

Not at all

what I expected

as I was going along

normally

somewhat reserved

and surrounded

by my own space

and then

a face was close to mine

even crossed the boundary line

and I was softly

feeling

this is fine.

Another place

another time

I will wait

to arrive there

someplace

somewhere.

This came to me as I awoke

in the dawning this morning, June 5, 2018

 

Space Between

Has every song you ever heard

been carried along

with the birds

the breeze

the rustle of leaves

the spiraling 
flight in the wind 

of earliest times

singing.

Inspiration comes

from where it is now.

Open up somehow

and through the window

frames a new way

to add contentment
 to each day.

One note at a time

one bar, one verse

across unfolding pages,

one song has been sung

through the ages.

As space
 between the notes,

the bird
 flies to another forest,

the 'song lines'
 cross the land,

some days are best

when less is planned.

Just a heart that knows

there is a flow

when life
 is bringing all you know

to present
 a light refrain

as a gift to uplift again.

Just notice if,

you dim your gift

by choosing
 procrastination.

Or practice more

to allow
 peace and stillness in,

to sing
 some joyful notes

as lovely music floats

through you.

Dancing In Between

Look within the Lilac petals

You feel called

to lean in closer

to share the softness

though only you

are there

with the fragrance,

with the joy of spring

and everything

a lilac bloom brings.

But look closely, 
then you see
the lilacs shine 

to enhance the dance.

Bright dancing lights

bring possibilities

of glimpsing more

so by peering-in

comes the beginning

to see 

the invisible.
