We live life in fear
Afraid of the dark, of death
Of what comes after
Why, when we’ve done this before
Many, many times over
We’re born and reborn
Working on our mortal souls
Until we become as one
…With the Divine

Blossoms Fold In Chill Of Fall
Blossoms fold in chill of fall
Sleep, to sleep as winter crawls
To wake again when spring returns
Sun and warmth and blue sky yearns
Glorious colors for the time must leave
Like lovers parted must surely grieve
We say goodbye for now dear friends
Awaiting the time you bloom again

Encircled In Autumn
Encircled in Autumns chilling grasp,
Warmth of tea cup in my hands I clasp.
Just cool enough for a sweater in evening,
No animosity toward Summers most abrupt leaving.
Crunch of the leaves and the crisp in the air,
Young and old attitude, devil-may-care.
Breathing in freely a new lease on life,
Renewing loves vows of husband to wife.
Truly beauty exists in the wane of the year,
Another season born, greeted with cheer.
As winter approaches and darkness takes hold,
We all settle in for long months of cold.
Please do not obsess and never you fear,
Take comfort in the arms of those you hold dear.
For this, as surely as winter won’t last,
Time and time again as done in the past.
Daily the sun rises and Spring will return,
A lesson in grade school we all must have learned.

Rebirth – A Tanka
This place I stand now
The pinnacle of my life
Like the beginning
Everyday is a new day
Another chance for rebirth

The Optimist
Who we are right now,
Will become a shadow,
A flashback to who we are.
We evolve by the second,
We can change who we are in an instant,
Becoming someone reinvented,
Exhibiting new talents,
Changing how we represent ourselves,
Born anew.
The person we had always dreamed we’d be,
All by our thoughts and efforts.
We are who we want to be because we will it,
Making demands on ourselves and our circumstances.
We force the people and things surrounding us to change,
Or we change the people and things around us.
Either way we are reborn.
The person we were yesterday is no more,
Say hello to the contemporary you.

What beauty this world has on offer
The natural and spiritual surrounds us but we do not see
Too busy with the distractions of the material
Simplicity in the song of the bird
The majestic wonder of the mountain
The desolate elegance of the desert
The mystery of God
Lost among our earthly pursuits
With eyes closed and head arched towards heaven
My mind banishes pain, suffering and torment
Solitude seeps into my bones
A sense of peace forgotten floods my subconscious
The smell of wildflowers
The flutter of the hummingbirds wings
The lonesome howl of the coyote
The joy of spiritual oneness
Sights, sounds and smells I have long ignored
I can almost feel the arms of God drawing me close
Tears shed for time wasted dissipate in a divine awakening
Renewal washes over me
The material is no long all consuming
Reborn with a new sense of purpose
Filled with the glory of nature and the solemnity of nirvana
I have once again found solace and peace in this finite life
All through that which had always lay before me
But I could not see
