Sky-Blue Simplicity

 

This winter season

I am looking into burning embers

glancing out misty windows

where every view, every year clearly shows

little blue flowers together again

simply growing in the rain.

 

And long you have gone

as long I miss you, so well I remember

your joy just to see, a posy of simplicity.

Befriending

The time has come,

again, and in every present moment

to open your heart to your self

and choose this time

to care for your inner one,

the universal one

always waiting for when

one chooses to catch the glimpse within

and begin

befriending.

 

Be it with the wind,

the sand between your toes

the 'come and goes' of change and woes

the time, good times may arrive

the way to see opportunities

to be who you came to be,

the one traveling all the seas,

the one on the path of love

beginning by,

being your own warm and caring gentle friend

who comes to know you

and learns

to listen deeply to your heart beat.
