Touch Our Hearts

Yes, yes Dear Ones

there are always ways,

always ways for more

caring,

for sharing caring,

being there

bringing kindness,

sharing the goodness of your heart,

saving the environment

with your love

for the Earth

for the trees,

sharing seeds,

planting more seeds,

sharing smiles

food, warmth and shelter,

giving more, more unconditionally,

beautifully lifting all of life

whatever simple way you have

to be present,

to bring your peaceful heart,

to bring your quiet mind

to breath your harmonious ways

into the days for others

to know some kindness

to know someone softly touches their hearts,

moves with the trees in the breeze

as wings fly over and above

there is ever only Love.

Happy Days

 

Golden Light

How good would it be
if you were here to see these yellow carnations
as we celebrate the 100th birthday
with golden gifts
shining all the way to heaven today.

But we know you come and go
as in our hearts we are all free
so life goes forward as do we.
 
In my life,

and in the closing years of your life,
I lived with deep sadness.

Where did I find this sadness?

Was it from far away in other lands, places,

rivers or seas?

My mother's womb?
My father's heart?
My mother's heart?

Her mother's heart?
How do I call it to rise? 

To share feelings?
Is it a sad song? 

A past life? A yearning to belong?

A way through will come to me.

The truth yet to see.

Now, I am healed.

 

When I learned, to stand aside from it.

I found acceptance, peace, gentleness,

understanding, sincerity, release,

joy and freedom.
 
Then, and not til then,
did I meet my own devoted heart
and then, did I, then see,

all golden light on the path.
