Long Stilling Poems

Hidden beneath the hopes and dreams, gentle
Feelings, inspiring me to trust, believe
Fondness this alive isn’t accidental
It feels amazing, just like Christmas Eve,
Joyful and inspired, like a heart afire
Breathing whispers of light over the soul
Remembering the...

“You are That in which the universe appears 
like waves appearing in the ocean
You are Consciousness itself
No need to worry”


The concept being that the world is nothing but thought
Transient and therefore necessarily unreal like a...

In the blinded moments,
Before the mist rises over the tumbling surf…
Blueness tempting awake my dreams,
A heartbeat from the flaming blaze,
Sunshine pouring through the clusters of 
Feathery clouds, like the breath of peace
Aroused from the falling...

There is a water glint,
just shining through the copse beyond.
Autumn's sinking sun, 
barred by spindle trees and the last 
of summer's brindled reeds 
and sedge and rush that fringe this stilling pond.

Damp leaves hide...

Like the breathless air of twilight,
As the moon softly rises and tempts the stars
Into the quiet revelations, admissions
Grace, splendor, magnificence…
Painting the dreams with a quivering ink,
Spilled upon the emptiness beneath the still, white page,
Simplicity at...

James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”


In the hesitant kiss,
	before breakfast
with the gift...

On the edge of the leaf, spinning,
Out of control, glistening
Slowly dancing – a waltzlike trembling,
glad to see the hesitation of colors,
graceful as sun’s reflection on the waters,
lakes of melancholic, drifting
soundless and soothed by the twisting,...

Reflected in the moon’s soft glow,
A silent thought, reassuring
Moments caught by a lullaby,
Soft and soothing, gentling the colors,
Faded beneath the still, cool skies…

Whispers of faith flow through the nocturnal,
Dreary is the fate of those who...

He erases the darkness of night, the shadows
So alive in the heart who grieves, 
Silencing the beautiful, the breathtaking, the blessings
With the dawn, sunrise comes to life,
Whispering wonders into the spirit who hears
His voice, in...

I remember those moments
So far from me now, the past echoes
Defeated by the silence of my womb,
The deafening silence breaking through
Peaceful moments, gentle breathes,
Serenity, sincerity, soothing… 
The longed for caress – softly stilling
Cries from the...

Bold as the lie that says –
Authenticity isn’t blessed by the truth,
Who exists in reasoning, thinking…
Outside the box, beyond the echo of light,
Despite the shadows and silhouettes of night…

Thinking, like the reflection of a heart...

As we then thus rest in dynamic stillness of innocence 
Attentively watching with a loving longing
We detect ripples of thought as obstructive interference
Blocking us from with our lover entwining

Stilling not our stillness we now let...

When I stare at the empty page,
And it just stares back at me, unimpressed
By my inspirations, my feelings, my prayers,
All the whimsical imaginings, creative
Thoughts, poems and prose
Listening to the music of breathless
Smiles, startling joys, flames
Burning...

The opalescence of the early morning light flows over everything
It touches over ever leaf, every tree, every exposed part of her skin
She stares at the sky as the dawn breaks 
It shines brighter and brighter

Of losing friends, losing those things – we held...

Tears mingle with pain.
her heart breaks as she blinks back the doubts,
risking the still essence of heartbreak,
trembling, the lonely ache whispering through her,
tempting her to walk away,
find her own grace in the wings of silence,
where...

Glimpsed in the heart
Who smiles its promise, genuine
Hope, inspiring a lightness
Resembling the dreams of a life
Who sees the good, stirs grace
With gentleness, abiding sweet
Across the spirit, through the wish
Love overflowing – enthusiastic, a vision

Glistening in...

In the heart of a silent moment
The thought of the past drifts gently
Coloring my thoughts in lavender embers
Creating a world of inspirations intently

In the soul of a dewdrop smile
The music of love captures my desire
Laughing...

Strange, yet a reality none the less:
the oppressed destroying themselves 
for the sake of the oppressor.

The battle of creatures of the sea
has now become that of the humanity
of the conquered land.  A bizarre misguided
catharsis...

Reflected in the tender skies, azure dreams,
Compared to the joys that inspire light,
Rustling quietly in the rushing streams,
Promising laughter that restores the insight.

Rising across the morning’s smile, songs 
Silencing the darkness with such a stirring
Only...

Besotted winged pollinators
roistering barrage drowned
amidst general insectivorous cacophony
indistinct auditory signals communicated

intermingled with bounteous wafting fragrance
midwifed edenic floral pullulation
sensate admixture viz colored spectrum
amidst unrehearsed extemporaneous

orchestral suite bedded lambs
amorous ewe man like bleating songs
nature all aflutter actively...

In the fall, when leaves tremble
Then dance away, past the unmarked graves
Dead flowers covered by autumn,
Harvest time has fled into the past
Where it will remember no more the tender
Touch of a rose petal, charming the...

Bright are the hues in springtime's overflow
The sad winds proceeds thro' the sensuous room
The flowering garden kept gently reciting
The flowing notes 'neath the sun shaped moon.

The candles flicker and the blue stars glimmer
The dead pools...

Laughing, lasting violet truth
Conspires to rest in tender youth.
Embracing the silence, delighted 
Feelings trembling, so excited.
Wherever she goes, her heart knows,
Joy fills the night as the wind blows.
Stilling the skies with softest starlight,
Gentling the words...
