Sleeping in the Forest (A memorial to Mary Oliver)
That night, I slept beneath the watch of a familiar face, but one which I had not visited for quite some time.
I gazed deep into Mother nature’s nurturing eyes,
As she held me in her warm embrace
And so tenderly took me away
From the bane of my existence,
'Neath the skirt of a gnarled, giving tree.
Her pockets full of nuts and seeds,
The fallen fruits of her creation,
Bestowed so lovingly to me,
Neatly rested below its gnarled branches,
An enchanted slumber befell my eyes
As mother nature’s starry gaze watched over me that...

The fallen fruits of her creation,
Bestowed so lovingly to me,
Neatly rested below its gnarled branches,

Bone (A Soul)
1
One day I went down to the beach
and lay on the cool sand, my ears heard it singing.
Or maybe it was the surf, or the beetles in the grass.
I closed my eyes and felt the vibration of its tenor
stirring me to love, love, love, trust, or just
awakening me to acknowledge it.
2
My bones sunk into the sand
and rested against its language,
their thousand pages of words telling me
I am like them, and of belonging, and of god.
I never prayed but lifted a mussel shell to the sun.
I felt its hard edge against my...

This Letter Is TO You
'This letter is to you.
The you that had a rough week. The you that seems to be under constant storm cloud. The you that feels invisible. The you that doesn't know how much longer you can hold on. The you that has lost faith. The you that always blames yourself for everything that goes wrong. To you.
You are incredible. You make this world a little bit more wonderful. You have so much potential and so many things left to do. You have time. Better things are coming your way, so please hang in there. You can do it.''

Wild Geese (God Gave Her Wings)
Hello, Sun in my face.
Hello, you who make the morning
and spread it over the fields.
Watch, now, how I start the day
In happiness, in kindness.'

‘Tell me, how will you be fearless and improbable
and beautiful, how will you become wise..’

‘I will write upon awakening in the early morning mist..’,

A Friend Or Sweetheart
Late November
When we first spoken
It felt as though I had awoken
From the dreams in my sleep
Like most of us need
But when you said "hello"
Like the only time we had snow
So innocent
With a talent that's magnificent
A writer
And a creator
A friend or sweetheart
That became a part
Of me
Refreshing as a cup of tea
Even in times of tension
As part of a life's lesson
Nevertheless, you are passionate
And I will never leave you in abandonement
When we first spoken
It felt as though I had awoken
From the dreams in my sleep
Like most of us need
But when you said "hello"
Like the only time we had snow
So innocent
With a talent that's magnificent
A writer
And a creator
A friend or sweetheart
That became a part
Of me
Refreshing as a cup of tea
Even in times of tension
As part of a life's lesson
Nevertheless, you are passionate
And I will never leave you in abandonement

In the Green Hush
evergreen forests
on mountains so lush
as ravens are calling
within its green hush
with echos cascading
from fast flowing streams
and life all around
is more than it seems...
life underground
and up in the air
brings recognition
that life's everywhere
life's on the Moon
and life's in Deep Space
life's in the emptiness
which we all face...
echos cascade in
the music of spheres
sounding angelic
approaching it nears
where we are breathing
we rhythmically chant ...

Cheering You Up ( on )
Matthew,
If I was a carpenter
and You a pig
I’d build You a pen
and make it real big.
If I was an angler
and You were a fish
I’d fillet You quick
and serve on a dish!
If I was a gardener
and You were a snake
I’d spear You quickly
with a flick of my rake.
If I am Your friend
and You, mine too
I’d dedicate a poem
especially for You.

For my good friend

Mind Reader
When I was down, you lifted me.
When I was hiding, you found me.
Your words, they snuck into my head, made a nest, giving me the will to try again.
Lying on the floor with a note in my hand, you took away the invisible gun.
When I was hiding, you found me.
Your words, they snuck into my head, made a nest, giving me the will to try again.

earth
was a void
only he could avoid
clay dough his play dough
no time to play, though
for sight and sound
were not unsound
where emptiness
filled empty nests
shape and form
fitting reform
for otherwise
life would seem foolish
thus thou art
but dust thou art
when you’re able
to eat cane
i’ll give you strength
to build a dam
in a single eve
jacob he saw
when the truth of eli
eluminated the israelites
in their darkness ...

Freedom
If you press into your soul, you can feel all of your trapped memories and once forgotten dreams.
They are there.
Buried beneath your walls.
But they are also, constantly searching for a pathway that will eventually lead them to find freedom from your prison.
Being tucked away and hidden somewhere beneath your skin, doesn’t diminish their worth and if, they can finally be released from the shackles of your fears, you will have the opportunity to embrace the chance to fully live.
Even if it is just for a moment.
Only then, will you understand, that you can do...
They are there.
Buried beneath your walls.
But they are also, constantly searching for a pathway that will eventually lead them to find freedom from your prison.
Being tucked away and hidden somewhere beneath your skin, doesn’t diminish their worth and if, they can finally be released from the shackles of your fears, you will have the opportunity to embrace the chance to fully live.
Even if it is just for a moment.
